What Are My Colors - 4 Forms of Makeup Foundation

By Jan Hawken

Women often make the mistake of skimping on the quality of their cosmetics. It's easier to get by with a lesser quality of makeup for color cosmetics. However, it's wise to purchase a high quality foundation with the characteristics that best enhance your skin type. We are going to look at 4, of 8 or so, foundation options. It is of utmost importance to ask yourself, "What are my colors?" and to get that answer correct. Your foundation must match your skin tone exactly to look it's best.

• Stick Foundation is best used by women who need extra heavy coverage to conceal blemishes such as a scar, red complexion and uneven skin coloring. This form does not work well for women with oily skin.


• Cream Foundation makes a wonderful choice because it can achieve as thin, or as heavy, a coverage as you need. Applied lightly from a damp sponge you will achieve the sheerest coverage. When heavy, it covers very well, and even makes a good concealer where needed.


• Cream-to-Powder Foundation often comes in a compact, brushes on with a sponge, and then dries to a powder, so really, it's like two products in one. Additional powder should not be necessary.


• Powder Compact Foundation is quite versatile. It can go on sheer or with a medium coverage, wet or dry. Many women prefer to carry foundation with them in this form because it fits very easily into a purse, and is quick and easy to apply.

Now that you've applied your foundation, you may ask yourself, "What are my colors?" once again, and begin to determine which ones suite you best for your color cosmetics.
