Choosing A Foundation For Your Skin Type


Acne Prone Skin

Go for a full coverage foundation. Try to choose something liquid or cream based. I would try to find one that is oil free. A good choice is Clinique Acne Solution BB Crème or for those of us on a budget Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil Free Makeup. These both have ingredients that will help clear your acne and full coverage.



Dry Skin
 


For those of us who have dry skin choose a foundation that is a little lighter coverage and has some type of moisturizing ingredient. My favorite would be Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation. It is fairly light and supper moisturizing. It does have a more dewy finish but won’t cling to dry patches. For a drugstore option try Revlon’s Photoready Foundation.

Oily Skin  

So I don’t want to spend all my time talking about Clinique but if you’re looking to conceal your oily skin and want a matte finish you have got to try Clinique’s Stay Matte Oil Free Foundation. This will change your life. It is a full coverage but feels super light on your skin and you will not see an oily spot all day. For a drugstore buy that is almost as good try Maybelline’s Fit Me! Matte Foundation. This product also comes in a non-matte formula so be careful.

Normal Skin

YOU ARE THE LUCKEIST PERSON IN THE WORLD IF YOU’RE IN THIS CATEGORY. You can literally wear any foundation you want. Stay away from any that are specifically for acne prone skin but everything else is up to you. Any level of coverage will be great and you can play with all the different textures and finishes.




I encourage you to have fun no matter what skin type you fall into. Don’t feel like you have to have a matte finish just because your skin is oily. If you like a luminous finish go for it. Just be yourself and have a great time. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and if you want any other blogs about make up for skin types let me know!
