Base makeup has come a long way from your mother’s Max Factor pancake makeup.
These days, there are several base makeup options that won’t leave that cakey, mask-like appearance.
But with the wide array of options available, shopping for the perfect base makeup can get overwhelming.
For starters, there arefoundations, BB creams, and skin tints (viaL’Oreal).
And among foundations, there are powders, liquids, creams, and cream sticks (perByrdie).
Foundations will cover blemishes, blur pores, and even your skin tone.
Skin tints are an even lighter coverage option that is great for “no-makeup” makeup days.
Foundation will give you an airbrushed appearance that will especially look great for fancy occasions and photos.
On the other hand, if you have normal-to-dry skin, BB creams can be a lifesaver.
BB creams often contain ingredients likehyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and panthenol.
Cream foundations typically come in a pot container and have a thicker, whipped formula.
Cream sticks are similar to cream foundations, but they offer a mess-free program.
The gel serum texture is a hydrating, buildable formula.
