So many shades and textures to choose from, but which one is the perfect match for your skin type?
Your skin type determines which foundation will work for you best
If your current foundation is not doing it for you, you could be using the wrong product for you skin type.
We've got the perfect recommendations below so that your face can start looking and feeling flawless again.
If you have dry skin…
The worst thing you can do is pile on a thick foundation to try to hide flakes. Instead, opt for a lighter coverage product that brightens skin. But remember, for a smooth base always moisturise before applying your foundation, no matter what your skin type.
If you have combination skin…
You need a foundation that reduces the oil production on your T-zone but won’t dry out the rest of your face. Find a product that has soft matte finish, which makes it a good option for those prone to a touch of midday shine.
If you have oily skin…
Chances are you have trouble making foundation stay put on your skin. Often, skin becomes oily because it’s lacking in hydration in the first place, so try inquire from your beauty shop a product that regulates oil production while hydrating the areas that need it most.
For extra top-ups in the day, brush on a light mattifying powder like Maybelline Matte Maker, £3.99, Superdrug.
