After foundation was launched on the market, several different types of the product were developed. Powder foundation was one of the first. When foundation hit the shelves and many women started using it, more and more different preferences emerged. The first version of foundation often made the skin look fake and unnatural; it was a very full-coverage foundation. Women preferred a natural look, so powder foundation was launched. This provided lighter coverage and was easy to make. Powder foundation was also often used in combination with liquid foundation to create even better coverage.
Powder foundation formula
Powder foundation is still often used today to create light coverage on the skin. Because the powder is not as pigmented as a liquid foundation, you will get a more natural coverage without shine. Powder foundation is also often used on top of a liquid foundation to make the finish slightly more matte and help it last longer. Powder foundations often contain many vitamins and minerals that are good for the skin. However, powder foundation usually does not contain SPF (sun protection factor) to protect the skin from UV radiation. Therefore, we recommend always using a day cream or primer with SPF under your powder foundation.
Loose and compact powder foundation
Powder foundations come in two types: compact and loose powder. In the compact version, the powder is pressed together and is therefore easiest to apply with a powder brush. Loose powder foundation is, as the name suggests, a loose powder similar to powdered sugar with a tint. This is also easy to apply with a brush, but for thicker coverage, it is also good to apply it with a makeup sponge. Are you looking for a foundation for dry skin? Then a liquid foundation or a foundation stick is suitable for you. A foundation for dry skin often contains moisturizing ingredients. Do you have sensitive skin? Then it is better to go for a mineral foundation, which is also called a minerals foundation.
Applying and removing foundation
In addition to knowing how to choose and use a foundation, it is also important to remove it properly. For the best results, most beauty specialists recommend not leaving your foundation on your skin for longer than 12 hours. Of course, this varies depending on the different types of foundation and the way you apply it. For example, always apply a day cream to your cleansed skin before applying your foundation. It is also good to apply a moisturizing cream after removing your foundation, so that your skin is properly hydrated.
