Recap:
Coverage: Knowing how much you want to cover will help you decide this step. Someone that doesn’t wear a lot of makeup may choose a lightweight foundation or a CC cream. A buildable foundation may also give you more flexibility on the coverage depending on how much you apply. Or you can go for a full coverage foundation, this might be heavier but will be sure to cover all imperfections, this is a good option for a glam look.
Texture: Choose a texture that you will be able to work with, these include: liquid, powder, cream, aerosol spray (airbrush effect). And don’t forget the tools you’ll need to apply each texture, sponge vs. brush.
Skin Type: Now your skin type! This is so important, you want to choose a foundation that will create the better version of your skin. So if you’re oily, go for oil-free or matte, and if you’re dryer skin choose something that will be hydrating.
Shade: The best way to match your shade is to try the foundation on your chest/neck area. Keep in mind that you may need a summer shade and a winter shade, adapt with the seasons.
