Who doesn’t want a flawless face? I am pretty sure most of us girls would love to have perfect skin, no acne, no scars, no discoloration, no imperfections. But let’s face it, we all have something about our face that we dislike. That’s where foundation comes in! Foundation is meant to enhance your skin’s natural appearance and cover any minor skin imperfections. The biggest trick with foundation is finding the perfect one for YOUR skin.
So how do you pick your perfect liquid foundation without spending lots of time, effort, and money on a product you will not LOVE? The trick is knowing and understanding your skin. Afterall, it is your skin that the product will lay on. Shouldn’t you know about your own canvas?
First determine your skin type. Do you have excess oil in your T zone and have problems with your makeup slipping off your skin? If so, you have an oily skin type. Is your skin tight, flaky, and lifeless. Then you have dry skin. Is your skin pretty normal with minor oil and no dry patches? You have the normal skin type. Do you have issues with oil, dry patches, as well as normal areas of skin? If so, you are combination.
Now find your skin type and read a few tips and tricks about choosing the right liquid foundation for you!
Oily Skin
You want a foundation that will
-Not break you out -Not slip off your face – Mattify your skin -Control Oil

The great thing about normal skin is you really can get away with a number of different foundations.

Then get a foundation with a matte finish. It is really about the way you want your skin to look.
