Stuck in a foundation rut? Here’s what you need to know to ace your base (every time!)
Liquid
Best for: All skin types.
Top tip: Want even coverage? Dip a makeup brush into your foundation and ‘paint’ your face from the centre outward.
Tinted moisturiser
Best for: Normal to dry skin.
Top tip: For a light, natural finish apply with fingertips – it’s super sheer so don’t worry about being heavy-handed.
Cream
Best for: Very dry skin.
Top tip: This creamy, heavier base it great for hiding dark marks. Opt for a matte formula – a luminous finish can enhance spots.
Mousse
Best for: Dry skin.
Top tip: A mousse is cream-based so don’t worry about using a sponge. Apply in one direction with your fingertips for an even finish.
Mineral Powder
Best for: Sensitive skin.
Top tip: Lightweight powders are easier to layer so avoid the ‘caked-on’ look by going for a talc-free formula.
