Like any makeup, foundation is designed to enhance a person's beauty. This cosmetic can even out complexions, including those that are blemish-free. It can also be used to cover dark spots and give the wearer a neat canvas with which to begin makeup application.
Not everyone likes foundation. Although some formulations are extremely lightweight, providing just a hint of tint,
some women simply don't like the feeling of an allover base. They may stick to concealer dabbed on undereye circles and at the base of the nose, which is perfectly acceptable. Anyone blessed with a beautiful complexion may want her skin to shine all on its own and not be covered at all.
Not all foundations are the same, so be sure you know which formula is right for you if you decide to take the plunge.
Cake foundation: This is a heavy formula designed to completely mask the complexion.
It's not nearly as popular as more lightweight foundation formulas because it's so dense that your skin doesn't feel like it's really "breathing."
Liquid formulas: These are widespread and available from almost every cosmetic brand. Liquid foundations come in various weights, from medium to heavy coverage to very light and breathable.
Mist or airbrush: A very lightweight foundation type, this is perfect for the woman who likes to forget
she's wearing makeup. Another alternative is tinted moisturizer.
Mineral foundation: One of the more recent innovations in foundation, mineral makeup is lightweight and offers buildable coverage, so you can vary the application according to your needs.
SPF: Many of today's foundations contain built-in sunscreen, allowing your makeup to perform double duty.
