Ever find that skin concerns get worse after wearing makeup? You’re probably using a foundation that’s not suitable for your skin type. The wrong foundation can leave oily skin looking oilier, dry skin looking dryer, and so on.
At Revolution, we’re accepting nothing less than a flawless base! Welcome to our guide on finding the best foundation for your skin type!
How to Choose the Best Foundation for Your Skin Type
When teamed with a good skincare routine and the best primer for your skin type, a well-suited foundation can truly help your skin to look and feel its best. But where to start?
- Know Your Skin Type – The first step to finding the perfect foundation formula is to understand your skin type. Once you’ve identified your main skin concerns and needs, it makes it easier to choose a formula that suits you.
- Find Your Shade – You want to choose a shade that blends seamlessly with your natural skin tone. Too light, skin will appear ashy. Too dark, the entire makeup look won’t look right. The best place to test a foundation shade is on your jawline or neck.
- Select Your Finish – Various foundation finishes can make or break your base makeup. Choosing between a dewy, matte, satin or illuminating finish can truly impact the appearance and longevity of your makeup, and your skin type is often the determining factor as to which finish works best.
