Crème or cream foundations are more often than not the top choice of most make-up artists. Foundations are now available in sticks as well as compacts and some of the designer brands such as Elizabeth Arden, Flawless Finish and Max Factor, Face Finity provide very good coverage. The consistency and texture in these brands deliver a rich and perfect finish that has easy application resulting to a fine complexion.

For offering a sheer and complete facial coverage, Gale Hayman, Youth Lift Foundation gives the face a very natural appearance.

These foundations are a mixture of oil based and water based formulations, preferred by most women due to the ease of liquid foundation application that matches the skin well, nearly resembling the skin itself. A tip when getting a foundation that will match your complexion well, try and make sure you select one that has a yellow base colour.

The dual active powder foundations are also called ‘quick fix’ foundations, where it starts as cream and is spread over the face for easy application and then it ends us as powder form on your face. A powder and a foundation all in one such as Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish.
