What foundation is best for my skin?

Facial foundation for normal skin

In selecting a foundation for normal skin, there are many lines of cosmetic foundations available, and in various shades. A list of ingredients will be your best guide. Make sure it is for dry to normal skin and try and ensure it is nonacnegenic so it won’t clog your pores.

Facial foundation for acne prone or oily skin

For oily skins the best foundation to go for is water-based. These types of foundations come in liquid form, and offer from sheer to total facial coverage, the only downside is that these only tend to last for a maximum of four hours. This problem can be addressed by using loose powder after initial application of your water-based foundation to seal the foundation better and make it last longer, this will also absorb any excess oils which tend to be a large reason as to why foundation will not last as long on oily skin. For oily and acne prone skin types, look for oil free or oil controlling products –as explained these will usually be water based products and Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation is a good choice.
