There are several types of bases, which differ in their consistency, texture and, accordingly, composition. Conventionally, there are five such types:

• liquid;
• creamy;
• gel;
• hard
• flickering.

• The basis of the liquid type is becoming increasingly rare. This is due to the fact that it too easily clogs the pores and rarely passes tests for comedogenicity, contributing to the emergence of new inflammatory processes. For prone to oily skin, this phenomenon is especially destructive, as it has an increased risk of the formation of comedones. In addition, this base is absorbed worse and, as a result, mixed with the foundation and other decorative cosmetics, which is applied on top of it. This can ruin your makeup.

Often, such makeup bases are made completely transparent, so that they do not give the foundation additional shade and help preserve the naturalness. This is especially true for the daily version of makeup, every flaw in which is perfectly visible in daylight.

• Shimmering makeup base may have a different texture and generally includes the same characteristics as its corresponding form from those described above.
