When foundation first came onto the market, it had a clay-like consistency. Because it was so greasy, it was difficult to spread, and you often ended up with a mask-like effect. Over time, this consistency became thinner and thinner, until it became what we now know as most foundations.
Full-coverage foundation
Liquid foundation comes in various levels of coverage. This ranges from light coverage to full coverage. What this means is how well the foundation conceals your skin and imperfections. If you have many imperfections or, for example, quickly get red cheeks that you prefer to conceal, a heavier coverage might be perfect for you. If you prefer a more natural look, or, for example, have freckles that you like to show, a lighter coverage may be more suitable for you.
Sun protection
Nowadays, most liquid foundations are not nearly as bad for your skin as we once thought. Because most liquid foundations now contain a low SPF (sun protection factor), you are protected against some UV radiation, among other things. Liquid foundations also often contain vitamins and minerals that protect or improve your skin.
Applying foundation
Liquid foundation can be applied in different ways and with different tools. Although we often used our hands in the past, nowadays we prefer to use a foundation brush or a makeup sponge. However, make sure to work with clean hands and tools to prevent irritation. Always apply your foundation using circular motions and gently press the product into your skin, as this will blend your foundation most beautifully with your skin. It is also important to start applying in the center of your face and work outwards from there. This creates the most natural effect.
Removing foundation
In addition to choosing and applying foundation, it is also important to remove it properly. For the best results, most beauty specialists recommend not wearing your foundation for longer than 12 hours. However, this varies greatly depending on the type of foundation and the method of application. For the best results, always apply a day cream first, before applying your foundation. It is also a good idea to apply a moisturizing cream after removing your foundation.
