Foundations are the base of our makeup routine. As with a house, if the foundation isn’t right, then the rest of the process won’t work as well.
Picking the foundation that’s right for your skin type is so important, because it can either flatter your skin or accentuate everything you’re trying to cover.
While we may be tempted to pile on the makeup to cover any imperfections, that’s not the way to go.
This is why it’s important that you choose a foundation that will even out everything you need, without being so heavy that it accentuates texture and fine lines.
Makeup shoppers are obsessed with a serum foundation that claims to actively improve skin while you’re wearing it. The Clinique Even Better Makeup has rave reviews from shoppers who love the flattering natural finish and skin-loving formula.
A description of it reads: “Dermatologist-developed formula instantly perfects, lasting 24 hours. Liquid foundation with 24-hour wear delivers flawless, moderate coverage in 39 shades. Built with better flex technologyâ„¢, a special blend of polymers that give this foundation flexibility, so it moves when you move and smiles when you smile. Non-creasing, non-caking, non-settling. Just all-day second-skin comfort. Creamy formula hydrates, smooths, and leaves skin with a natural finish. Actively improves the appearance of skin. Broad spectrum SPF 15 helps protect against future discolouration. Stay-true pigments mean this face makeup won’t change colour on your skin.”
Beauty fans love it, with one person writing: “This is my absolute favourite foundation. It suits mature skin and creates a luminous glow. Coverage is not heavy and it blends beautifully. It suits sensitive skin with the bonus of SPF.”
“Clinique has been my go to company for over 30 years. This makeup lightly covers your skin with a slight tint. Stays well and you definitely can’t feel it on your face. It’s great,” another gushed.
A third said: “Excellent light coverage, The foundation just glides on to the skin. Very pleased with it. Nice creamy texture.”
“Always best foundation for me. Using for years and never disappointed,” a fourth praised. However, some shoppers were hoping for more: “I thought I would be experiencing excellent coverage of uneven skin-tone (sun damage, I think, and freckles/age spots. I also have some thread veins). Sadly, absolutely nothing to write home about. Perhaps I am a challenge too far for this product! An expensive ineffective purchase.”
Another amazing option if you want a light option is the Hydratint from Sculpted By Aimee. This tinted serum nourishes and protects all skin types while adding a sheer veil of colour that’s perfect for a natural, barely-there look.
