If you are young and/or have great skin, then you don’t really need to wear foundation, a light powder should be enough. For the rest of us though, foundation is pretty much a must. There are a gazillion different foundations to choose from but the most popular these days seems to be mineral foundation – and with good reason. Mineral foundation is great for giving a natural look but still giving enough coverage to hide acne, redness, and other blemishes. You can use a really light application or go a bit heavier if you need to. It’s a very versatile foundation which suits all skin types.

Choosing the right foundation is all about choosing the right colour. You really need to test the color on your face before you buy. Pick a color which matches exactly your skin color, not a shade darker or lighter, which will give you a natural, flawless effect. If you tend to get a tan in the summer, don’t forget to select a new foundation to suit your tanned skin. Of course, it goes without saying that we recommend you wear sunscreen all year long to prevent tanning/sun damage, but do as you please.

Once you know the color and type of foundation you like, buy online to get the best deals.
