Foundations you should try

Choosing the right foundation for your skin type and tone is important. Grace Mantjiu shares the bases you should try, as well as tips on how to choose the right shade.

A foundation is supposed to give just the right coverage, only concealing imperfections such as spots and dark patches. For a flawless coverage all day long, make sure that you choose one according to your skin type.

Here below are five foundations you should try:

1. Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Sponge-on Cream Makeup, R475

 

2. Essence Soft Touch Mousse Make-up, R95

 

3. CLINIQUE Anti-blemish Solutions Liquid Makeup, R495

4. L.O.V Evenelixir Serum Foundation, R259.95

 

5. Essence Stay All Day 16H Long-lasting Make-up, R95

 

How to choose the right foundation

  • For the right shade, test the foundation on your face, not your hand.
  • The right shade will disappear on your face and blend with your skin tone. If you get a greyish look after applying the foundation, then it is not the right shade.
  • If you have oily skin, go for a matte foundation. But if you have dry skin, go for a liquid or cream foundation.
