Oil-free and matte liquid foundations
Pros: These foundations are the best choice for women who want balanced coverage with minimal to no shine, and who like a smooth, matte look. They last much longer on oily skin or over oily areas than most other foundation types.
Cons: All in all, there aren't many disadvantages to using this kind of foundation but some of them can make the skin look or feel dry.
Ultra-matte foundations
Pros: These foundations are a superior option if you have seriously oily skin, have trouble with makeup slipping or disappearing as the day goes by, live in a humid climate, exercise but still like having your makeup stay put, or like a completely matte finish. Ultra-matte foundations will outlast any other foundation, with no slippage or movement. If you have very oily skin, these are an absolute must to try.
Cons: The disadvantages to using ultra-matte foundations are that many of them go on rather heavily and look masklike, leaving the skin feeling very dry and taut. In order to get this makeup on evenly, you must blend quickly or it will dry in place before you know it, and then it can be difficult to blend further. Ultra-matte foundations have less movement than more emollient foundations, which means eyeshadow and blush have a tendency to stick to them; that can make blending and correcting mistakes a bit irksome. Women of color should be careful when choosing ultra-matte foundation. Even if it is the right color, these foundations can tend to look gray and ashen after being applied to darker skin tones.
Ultra-matte foundations are also the most difficult type to remove. The number of ultra-matte foundations is dwindling, as women have undoubtedly had problems with them. This is unfortunate, as these ingenious formulations can work so well for truly oily skins.
Water-based and standard liquid foundations
Pros: Most water-based foundations provide light to medium coverage and are best for those with normal to dry skin. The oil or emollient part of these foundations gives them good movement, which allows blushes and eyeshadows to blend on effortlessly and evenly over the face. Mistakes are easily buffed away with the sponge.
Cons: If you have oily or combination skin, this is not the foundation type for you. Even the little bit of emollients in a water-based foundation can show shine almost immediately if you have oily skin. For the right skin type, there aren抰 any disadvantages to using a water-based foundation. This type of foundation is also a great option for women of color. If you are concerned with the small amount of shine that water-based foundations leave behind on the skin, try adding a light dusting of loose powder after you've blended the foundation in place.
Oil-based foundations
Pros: Oil-based foundations can be very good for women with extremely dry or wrinkled skin. The emollient ingredients help the skin look very dewy and moist, which can minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
Cons: Oil-based foundations tend to be very greasy and/or thick and can look that way on the skin unless you are very adept at blending. They typically provide medium to full coverage and also have a tendency to turn orange on the skin after wearing them for awhile. This is because the extra oil in them affects the pigments in the foundation, causing them to oxidize. Additionally, if you wear face powder over this type of foundation, the oil grabs the talc and the face can appear coated and heavily made up. The same is true for blushes and eyeshadows梩hey will go on more heavily and will also become darker once applied. Traditional cream blushes tend to work best over this type of foundation.
Pressed powder朾ased foundation
Pros: Powder-based foundations are great for women with normal to oily or combination skin. They抮e convenient, blend on easily, last all day, generally don't change color, and feel light on the skin. They are best for those who want a minimal feel and polished appearance from their foundation. They also work very well over sunscreens, and can help take down the shine some sunscreen ingredients can leave on the skin.
Cons: This is not a good option if you have any amount of flaky skin. The powder content makes this type too drying for someone with dry skin. Also, women with very oily skin might want to be cautious, because powder-based foundations can appear thickened and pooled as oil resurfaces on the face during the day.
Cream-to-powder foundations
Pros: Cream-to-powder foundations blend on quickly and easily and provide a semi-matte or powdery finish. They work well for someone with normal to slightly dry or slightly combination skin. This type of foundation doesn't require powdering after you apply it. If you wish to use powder, make sure you apply it as lightly as possible to avoid a caked, heavy look.
Cons: Cream-to-powder foundations can blend on slightly thick, producing a made-up look. They don't work well for someone with oily skin because the cream components can make skin look more oily, and they don't work well for dry skin because the powder element can be too powdery looking and cause more dryness. They are best for normal skin types.
Liquid-to-powder foundations
Pros: Liquid-to-powder foundations blend on quickly and relatively easily and provide a semi-matte to matte finish with sheer to medium coverage. They work great for someone with normal to oily or slightly combination skin. The consistency doesn't require powdering after you apply it.
Cons: Liquid-to-powder foundations dry quickly and can blend on choppy. This type of foundation does not work well over dry skin, because the water portion tends to cling to dry areas, leaving a powder finish that is not easily moved. The product itself must be kept tightly closed, as the water component will evaporate if it is left exposed to air. Some of the compact liquid-to-powder makeups can break apart if you are not careful.
Stick foundations
These foundations are essentially cream-to-powder foundations in stick form, and the application, pros, and cons mentioned in that section apply here. The main difference between stick and cream-to-powder foundations is that stick foundations come in formulas that range from full to sheer coverage with either matte or creamy coverage. Many stick foundations also feature effective sunscreens, making them great all-in-one options. In addition, they can do double duty as concealer, and most product lines offer a wide selection of shades.
Pros and Cons: Refer to the section for cream-to-powder foundations.
Sheer Foundations and Tinted Moisturizers
Pros: Sheer foundations and tinted moisturizers are extremely easy to choose and use. The shades are so sheer (some bordering on transparent) that getting the color exactly right is not essential. These are a great way to add a touch of color to pale or sallow skin, and the sheerness prevents a slightly dark or tan-toned shade from looking wrong. For those with normal to slightly dry skin, a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen can serve as their sole morning skin-care product once the cleansing step is done.
Cons: The coverage can be too sheer for those whose flaws are more apparent, including skin discolorations, broken capillaries, dark circles, or birthmarks. Although some sheer foundations have a matte finish, most of them (and most tinted moisturizers) are not for those with oily or breakout-prone skin. If you have a tricky skin tone to match, a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer may still present problems, and there will be fewer shade options than with standard foundations.
Foundations with shine
Pros: For dull or dry skin, foundations with shine can indeed add a subtle glow to the face.
Cons: Too much shine can accentuate wrinkles or less-than-perfect skin and can make oily skin look greasy, not glowing. There's a lot of variation when it comes to how much shine you'll get from these products, so choose based on whether you want a subtle glow or high-wattage shimmer.
Self-adjusting foundations
These foundations supposedly stop or claim to control oil production and also prevent moisture loss. I have yet to see one perform as promised, but it would be great if someone ever came up with one that could! |

Knp tak tukar ke Bare Escentuals Foundation. Ini comment dr Mutia, user of BE
10 SEBAB KNP PILIH POWDER BARE ESCENTUALS
1.. ianya tak nampak macam pakai topeng.
2 - Good for skin sbb no chemical inside
3 ianya ada sun protection, so actually you save money to buy
different sunscreen, coz' ianya good for skin coz' no chemical
inside,
4 ianya rasa light not heavy,
5 ianya memberikan effect glowing,
6 satu botol boleh tahan 2 years plus if using it everyday twice a
day,
7 powder dia takkan masuk any bacteria or anything yg boleh duduk
diam kat makeup biasa, so feeling safe applying something its clean is
there. Boleh simpan lama sbb no expiry date. Tak mcm make up biasa.
8 you can use it together when you are swimming dan ianya still
attach as long tak berenang more than 1 hour,
9 walaupun ianya tak mudah ditanggalkan ngan air, tetapi ianya
totally easy to remove with any cleanser, so actually you no need to
buy
additional cleanser to remove it, just use the current cleanser,
10 -even dah tanggalkan B.E. Foundation nie, kulit tak nampak
dull
like after tanggalkan makeup biasa.
tue dia sepuluh reason why I choose B.E. Foundation
* Harga RM125 tahan 2 tahun,, so sebulan kita kuar RM5 jerr... murahkan |
