Foundation: it’s a wonderful thing and comes in lots of different styles and types. Foundations are an excellent way to lay down the base for the rest of your makeup, and when your foundation isn’t right, chances are, neither is the rest of your face either. There are two main types of foundation, liquid and powdered. Today we’re going to take a closer look at the latter.
Powdered foundations differ from liquid foundations in that they can be worn by pretty much every skin type. Whether you have oily, sensitive, combination, or blemish-prone skin, you can rest easy knowing there’s a powdered foundation out there for you! The benefit of wearing powdered foundation is that it isn’t heavy on the skin, making it feel as if you aren’t wearing makeup at all. This makes it easier to apply products such as blushers, concealers, and highlighters over top of it.
Powder foundations come in many different styles and finishes to suit whatever look you’re after. Some foundations focus on illuminating your skin, whereas others create a matte finish instead. This is something you’ll need to have a little think about before making your purchase.
There are also ‘powder-to-liquid’ foundations available on the market that go on like a powder but feel like a liquid, if this is something you would prefer. Some women also find that they like owning several different types of powder foundation depending on the look they’re trying to achieve. For example, some women prefer to wear a matte-style powdered foundation if they’re going for a bold look consisting of liquid eyeliner and bright lips.
One of the benefits of using powder foundation is that it doesn’t clog your pores in the same way as liquid foundations. This means they’re a great choice for those with oily or blemish-prone skin. Powder foundations also sit upon your skin rather than blending into it, creating a fine layer and a more flawless look. They’re also very good at absorbing oil on the face, which is ideal for those who find they get a shiny forehead or nose.
Finally, you’ll want to have a little think about your skin tone before making a decision. Powder foundations come in lots of different colors, so it’s important to know the color that best suits your complexion before selecting a product. Some powder foundations also offer SPF protection as well as anti-aging properties and waterproofing. These features often bump up the price of the product, however, so think carefully about what features will make up the best powder foundation for you.
When it comes to the cost of your new powder foundation, it depends on the product’s features and size. Powdered foundations range from 0.2 ounces to 4 ounces, with larger products often costing more ($25 to $50). Powder foundations will also cost more if they contain SPF, vitamins, or anti-aging technology.
Less expensive foundations ($15 to $20) work just as well, however, but instead focus on makeup technology rather than added extras. If you don’t have skin issues or have a more youthful complexion, then these cheaper options will be best suited to you. There are cheaper powder foundations available on the market ($10 or lower) but be aware that these products may not work as well or last as long.
The features you’ll want included in your new powder foundation will depend entirely on your personal preferences and your skin type. But there are a few features that we recommend keeping an eye out for, to ensure you select the best product for you.
Here are some important features to look out for:
When it comes to choosing the best powder foundation for you, we recommend selecting a product that has a wide variety of skin tone and color options. This will offer you more variety and ensure you select a color that suits your complexion perfectly.
Another handy feature to have included in your new product is SPF or UV protection. The sun, although wonderfully warm, can age your skin and cause wrinkles and dark patches. By selecting a product with SPF, your skin will be protected whilst offering you flawless coverage. This means you won’t have to apply sunscreen which can irritate oilier skin types. Powdered foundation tends to offer SPF protection ranging from 15 to 20.
If you’re looking for a high-end powder foundation, you may want to consider selecting a product that offers ‘long-lasting’ technology. This means the powder will stay looking fabulous for 8 to 12 hours without the need to reapply. These types of products are ideal for day-to-night wear, festivals, and long nights.
Finally, we recommend selecting a powder foundation that includes fruit extracts (such as pomegranate) or vitamins. Many makeup products can dry out or irritate your skin; by selecting a nourishing, kind-to-skin product, you’ll minimize these issues.
When it comes to caring for your new powder foundation, there really isn’t much to it…what a relief! You’ll want to ensure your powder is correctly sealed at all times to prevent leakage and bacteria from spreading in the product. Unlike liquid foundation, powdered foundation isn’t prone to melting, so you won’t have to worry about leaving it out in the sun on holidays and damaging the product. If you’re using makeup brushes to apply the powder, make sure they’re clean beforehand to prevent color damage and blemishes.
If you’re looking for a high-end product, we recommend selecting a foundation that comes with a compact or brush. Compacts make the product more portable and easier to use; they even sometimes come with a handy little mirror, too! Those that come with brushes are also useful as you won’t have to worry about cross-contamination with your other powder products. They’re ideal for on-the-go touch-ups, too!
