Foundations For Different Skin Types

Hey Bee’s, Today’s post is a little different I’ve decided to collaborate alongside Amy from www.littlemissmake-up.com on a post about foundations that suit different skin types. We all go through the difficulty of finding the right foundation for our skin, Have you ever bought a foundation and it ends up flaking or turning out and a complete mess don’t fret Amy has added in tips to help make your foundation flawless…
​

Oily Skin
For oily skin you will need a mattifying foundation (L’Oreal Infallible Matte foundation). But first In order for the foundation to set and to work at its best you need a perfect base, to achieve this I would recommend a mattifying primer gently apply it onto clean skin. L’Oreal Infallible Matte foundation is extremely mattifying and the coverage is phenomenal it hides any blemishes or redness that is present on your skin. You can find the foundation over on www.boots.ie for an affordable price €12.29. It is not cakey and is very easy to apply, it’s easy to blend for a flawless finish. To ensure a shine free face,I would always recommend to set your foundation which helps prevent any oils coming through.
 
Oily Skin Tip: Always cleanse before doing your makeup to remove any oils from your skin. You can use coffee filters cut up as blotting paper, just in case any oils come through your makeup.

Dry or Sensitive Skin
For dry or sensitive skin preparing for foundation is very important. Using an oil based rich moisturiser will help your foundation sit better on your skin and not clog up on dry areas. Also a good primer with silicone will help your foundation glide on and last longer. For dry skin i recommend the Vichy Dermablend Total Body foundation. It is €21.95 on www.boots.i.e   Vichy is hypoallergenic which means it is very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. It’s an oily foundation, perfect for dry skin. It is also high coverage and will mask any redness or dark circles on the face. With dry skin you need to slightly set it with a setting powder. It needs to be set to hold in place but only using very little.
​
Dry Skin Tip: Any foundation can be used for dry skin, even a mattifying foundation, by simply adding a few drops of facial oil to your foundation. This will change the consistency and appearance of your foundation. Also use a dewy setting spray to give your skin a nice fresh dewy look.

​Mature Skin
For mature skin you need a foundation that will hide the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and gives the skin a more even appearance while leaving a nice glow. You need a light weight foundation. Any high coverage foundation will age the skin. First you’ll need to start off with a good primer I’d recommend the Catrice Prime & Fine Smoothing Refiner. A foundation i would recommend for mature skin is the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation. This foundation wakens up the skin while giving a beautiful healthy natural looking finish with a nice glow. It also has an anti-fatigue effect with peptides and vitamin moisturising..
 
Mature skin Tip: Add a drop or two of an illuminator to your foundation before applying for a nice healthy glow. You can also apply an illuminator before your foundation which will give a nice brightening affect.http://www.boots.ie/en/Rimmel-Wake-Me-Up-Make-Up-Foundation-30ml_1246748/

Normal-Combination Skin
A foundation i find amazing and highly recommend is the Flomar Perfect Coverage Foundation. Its €10.95 in chemists. It has sph15 which is brilliant to protect young teen skin and is perfect for normal skin types. It is flawless on the skin. It isn’t dry or oily so would suit any skin type in my opinion. Using the Flomar Illuminating primer is a perfect base for this foundation on dry and mature skin. This foundation doesn’t go shiny on oily skin types. I have tried and tested this on oily, dry and mature skin and all of my clients loved it
