FAQs

What is a foundation in makeup?

A foundation is a makeup product designed to even out the complexion, covering imperfections and providing a smooth canvas. It can be used to enhance the natural skin tone or to create a specific look, and it comes in various forms like liquid, powder and cream.

Is it necessary to wear a foundation for makeup?

While foundation can provide a polished and even base, it's not strictly necessary for every makeup look. Some people prefer a natural skin appearance, while others might opt for concealer or BB cream for light coverage. It's all about personal preference and the desired finish.

How do I choose a foundation for beginners?

For beginners, it's essential to identify your skin type (oily, dry, combination) and desired finish (matte, dewy, satin). Start with a medium-coverage foundation, as it's versatile and can be built up or sheered out. Testing shades on your jawline in natural light can help you find a match that seamlessly blends with your neck and face.

Which is better — foundation or BB cream?

Neither is objectively "better" — it depends on your needs. Foundation products generally offer more coverage and come in a wider range of finishes. BB creams, on the other hand, are all-in-one products that provide light coverage, hydration and often sun protection. If you want a natural look or skincare benefits, BB cream might be for you. For more coverage or a specific finish, applying foundation could be the way to go.

How do I choose the right foundation shade for my skin tone?

To find your perfect match, consider your skin's undertones (cool, warm, olive or neutral). Test a few shades on your jawline and check in natural light. The shade that blends seamlessly into your skin without looking ashy or overly warm is your match. Remember, a foundation can oxidise or change colour slightly once applied, so it's a good idea to wear a test patch for a few hours.

What are the different types of foundation?

Foundation formulas come in various forms, including:

• Liquid — Versatile and suitable for most skin types.
• Powder — Great for oily skin and offers a matte finish.
• Cream — Provides more coverage and works well for dry or mature skin.
• Stick — Convenient for touch-ups and offers medium to full coverage.

What is the difference between various foundation finishes (matte, dewy, satin)?

• Matte — Offers a shine-free finish, ideal for oily skin.
• Dewy — Gives a radiant, luminous look, perfect for dry or dull skin.
• Satin — Sits between matte and dewy, providing a natural skin-like appearance suitable for most skin types.
