The texture of the foundation
We turn to foundation creams when it seems to us that we need to urgently save face and in no case show anyone our flaws. Today, manufacturers of cosmetics have come up with so many different types of this product, that customers can simply run up their eyes.
Types of foundation texture
There are only four of them. Each of them performs its function.
- Thick foundation - it is a cream containing a lot of coloring matter, which allows you to perfectly hide all the irregularities of the skin. It is important not to overdo it with such a strong cream, and therefore try to apply carefully.
- Camouflage - rarely applicable in extreme cases, difficult to apply. Usually used to hide any scars, moles or age spots. There is even a special liquid that will need to be washed off such a cream after use.
- Light - manufactured using silicone oils. It is easy to apply and wash away. The most common and frequently used type.
- Cream powder, oddly enough, also apply to foundation. It serves our skin to remove excess oily sheen. Owners of dry skin do not need to consider this option.
How to choose?
Everyone knows three types of skin: dry, normal and oily. There is also a combination, but here it is worthwhile to take into account the individual features and select, relying not only on the texture of the cream.
Oily skin - this is exactly the case when light creams containing oils are not suitable, since the action of the tonic here should be to absorb excess sebum. Dense textures are an excellent option.
Dry skinas we know, moisture is always required. Therefore, water-based foundation creams are the most suitable. They are liquid and easily fall on the face, moisturizing it.
Allergic skin The range in stores today can offer many different hypoallergenic products.
The manufacturers also took care of the sun protection. It is present in almost every brand.
- With a matting effect. Relatives are dense, suitable for oily skin, applied with a sponge.
- Hydraters. The presence of water and fat. Suitable dry and normal skin. Apply by hand, replace the moisturizer. Allow the face to look young, fresh, without a mask effect.
- Powder For oily and combination skin. For dry does not fit at all, as the powder in its composition has absorbent substances. Use with moisturizing base.
- On a fat basis. Get rid of excess dry skin, including in the cold season. But in the summer, on the contrary, should not be used. The cream can unpleasantly melt. Women with mimic wrinkles will benefit from this cream.

About the nuances
Someone smears unwanted pimples with a thick layer of thick cream, and someone does not like their freckles. With freckles everything is simple: choose the tones darker, closer to the color of your tan. And with the rash is not difficult: take the already-mentioned fluid cream with a slightly yellowish tone, it will look quite natural.
Known for their ease of use and properties suitable for any skin type, BB and CC textures are the best solution for summer makeup.
Cream powder and other powders can not be the basis, they act as a transitional element. But without them, it seems, can not do. They are a kind of fixative of that layer of cream that you have already applied.
In the hot season, do not forget about the antibacterial effect of many tonal resources. For problematic skin, this is an important question. And remember that acne rash no properly selected texture will not cure, there are other products for these purposes.
Properly chosen means - a pledge of beautiful makeup of any woman.
