TYPES OF FOUNDATION

Types of Make-up Foundations

Should you buy whipped, liquid or powder foundation?

Laura Mercier makes a great tinted moisturizer

Foundation has come a long way since our mom's day, when choices were limited and most foundations were thick, unmanageable creams. These days, there are many types of foundation available, from thick creams with the consistency of concealer to light-as-air tinted moisturizers which create an even skin tone while creating just a hint of color. Thicker, drier makeup covers more, but it's harder to blend. With light makeup, blending is easy, but it's harder to conceal skin's imperfections.

Foundations should do more than even out skin tones and conceal blemishes; it should also actually help your skin appear dewier, stronger and healthier. Here we rundown several types of makeup foundations.

Tinted Moisturizer

If you don’t need a lot of coverage but do want something to even out your skin tone and relieve dry skin, tinted moisturizer may provide you with just what you need. Tinted moisturizer is perfect for softening and protecting the skin while adding a hint of foundation color. This makeup is also ideal because you don't have to put on moisturizer and then foundation: it's a one-step process.

Mousse or Whipped Foundation

Mousse or whipped foundation is easier to apply in thin layers than liquid makeup, so you have more control. Mousse makeup is liquid makeup with air whipped in, making it lighter and smoother. It comes in a spray or aerosol-type can, like whipped cream. It costs more than other cosmetics because you're paying for the added air and specialized packaging, but if you've ever spread whipped butter on a hot piece of toast, you know the difference is vast. Whipped foundation is good for all skin types, but it's especially nice for those with dry or aging skin because of its tendency to go on smoothly instead of caking up in facial lines.

Liquid Foundation

Many women like liquid foundation best because it applies so smoothly and is easily found at your local drugstore. You can enhance the smoothness by putting it on with a slightly damp makeup sponge. Liquid makeup is good around the eyes, where you may want a bit more coverage; you can put it on with a small lip brush for the best control.

You'll often see liquid makeup in waterproof or smudgeproof or even 24 hour versions. But these specialized cremes contain oils and waxy ingredients, causing some sensitive wearers slight skin irritation. If you start having problems with breakouts when wearing waterproof makeup, switch to a non-waterproof type and see if it helps. With more people becoming aware of the importance of skin care to their overall health, companies are creating foundations made with organic ingredients such as essential oils, vegetable oils and minerals instead of chemical dyes.

Cream-to-Powder Foundation

One of the most interesting and popular foundation options is cream-to-powder foundation, made by companies of good reputation, like L'Oreal. It goes on as a liquid, but dries to a powder finish that minimizes oil and lasts all day. You'll find cream to powder makeup in compacts that look like powder (which may make you wonder why it isn't called powder to cream to powder makeup), or in tubes or bottles. The big draw is its easy application and the fact that you don't have to put on powder for full coverage.

Concealer

Concealer is thickened, even tinted to correct color for particular areas—under eye smudges, pimples or redness, for example. It's thick and comes in compacts or cover sticks. Makeup artist Bobbi Brown suggests applying concealer before foundation for perfect coverage.

Minerals

Minerals are the latest thing in makeup. Their popularity has come about in part due to the fact that the foundation has very few ingredients, and those being inert minerals, tend to be perfect for people with allergies or sensitive skin. Brush on minerals with a big, puffy brush, building up layers of nearly-invisible powder. Advertised as a "soft-focus" look, mineral makeup has been compared with the airbrush in creating a flawless appearance.

The Must-Have Eye Cream

The super-delicate layer of skin around your eyes is one of the most sensitive areas on your face and deserves extra TLC.

It really softens the lines around the eyes.

The Best Under-$10 Find

All beauty gurus know that treasures are stocked in the aisles of their local CVS, Walgreens and Duane Reade. “Of drugstore brands,I'm partial to the $7 Clean & Clear’s Soft Scrub because it’s gentle, nondrying and pretty easy on the pocketbook.

The color of the scrub itself is a white color with a very, very subtle hint of blue/teal. It is a bit runny and slimy and does not have the same consistency that I am used to when it comes to facial products.

The scrub in general though is very, very grainy, containing a slew of very micro small teal colored micro-beads, and other tiny, tiny grainy materials in the formula.

All in all Clean & Clear Soft Scrub Purifying Cleanser basically resembled an exfoliating queen. I had never used a product that contained this much exfoliating beads/grains.The scent is very mild, nothing delicious, nor nothing memorable that sticks out. Basically Clean & Clear Soft Scrub Purifying Cleanser has a fresh clean scent, with a chemically undertone.

It sort of reminds me of fresh laundry and chlorine. That is not a bad thing though, it is very refreshing while using it.

The Allover Skin Smoother

If rough, flaky dry spots have you feeling like the crocodile from the Lubriderm commercial, try body oil.“In the warmer months, I love a good body oil, like Dr. Hauschka’s rose version ($29 at Smallflower.com). It your skin incredibly silky all day long.” Another savvy tip? Scoop out some body butter and drizzle baby oil on top “You will love mixing baby oil into my body butters for extra smoothness. I think the Body Shop has a great selection at really affordable prices.”

• Sweet almond and Jojoba oils combine with quince seed extract to hydrate

The Mega Moisturizer

Like your wardrobe, your daily moisturizer should change with the seasons. Harsher, colder temperatures call for heavy-duty protection, while hotter weather is better suited to lightweight, oil-free formulas. “If you use a really heavy moisturizer in the winter to combat dryness, it’s good to switch out for a lighter one in the summe, “The absolute favorite year-round pick is Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth créme. No matter how parched or flaky my skin becomes, this moisturizer really delivers.”

The Perfect Pigmentation Fix

Hyper-pigmentation got you down? In most cases, there’s no need to stress. Just apply a skin-tone-correcting product daily and give it time (results can take anywhere from four to six weeks to show). “Consistency is key. I recommend applying your dark-spot antidote twice a day, when you brush your teeth,. “For what seems like forever, I have been waging war against hyperpigmentation,” adds Spoiled Pretty’s .

“Clinique’s Even Better Skin Tone Corrector made a marked improvement in the appearance of skin. The lightweight serum gently erases discolorations and treats acne scarring, sun damage and age spots, so use it on your face, neck, chest, hands or anywhere you’re looking spotty.”
