Water-based foundation. Lumene foundations

Problem skin needs special care. Foundation is one of the products that should not harm the skin. The wrong foundation can negate all the results of previous skin care.

What features should the best foundation for problem skin have?

Every girl with any type of inflammation of the epidermis must know the qualities that a foundation for problem skin should have. The rating of suitable products should be kept in mind and followed when choosing a cream.

When choosing a mattifying product for problem skin, it is necessary to take into account the decorative properties. Customers with acne problems face a double task: to find a product that will not aggravate the condition of the skin and will look good and enhance their beauty.

If you take into account only the medicinal properties when choosing, the result will be disastrous. A cream that does not suit the texture and tone will differ from the neck, hands and look unnatural.

Natural composition

The safest creams are natural. It is difficult to find them on the shelves. Even mattifying products in the pharmacy do not all have a natural composition. However, among non-natural mattifying products, you can also choose a decent one by understanding the components.

Harmful substances:

1. Aluminum. The most harmful component that is added to foundation for problem skin. Rating harmful substances It is he who leads, accumulating in the cells of the whole body and causing cancer. It is rarely added to mattifying products, unlike other cosmetic products.
2. Silicone. It is found in many luxury and budget mattifying products. Promotes the formation of a silicone film, which creates a greenhouse effect. The skin stops breathing, and the remaining moisture becomes a breeding ground for various bacteria that cause pimples.
3. Propylene glycol. A synthetic element that causes allergies in many people. It absorbs water from the skin. It is doubly dangerous if it contains silicone. Silicone provides a breeding ground for microbes. Propylene glycol provokes the creation of multiple allergic microscopic spots through which bacteria penetrate. They cause deep subcutaneous inflammation.
4. Synthetic glycerin. Glycerin from vegetable oils is a beneficial substance for the skin, but many manufacturers are cunning and add unnatural glycerin to their product, which acts in the same way as propylene glycol
5. Talc. This component is natural, but not organic. It's better to take organic cosmetics, because talc is not added to it. Talc absorbs nutrients: moisture and fats. The skin becomes dry, which causes premature aging

Composition of a quality product

Rating of the most useful substances in creams for problem skin	Description of components
Volatile silicones	For oily skin. After a while they evaporate, leaving a stain with a uniform tone and useful components.
Non-volatile silicones	For dry skin. They don't evaporate. Moisturizes the skin, creating a porous coating through which the body continues to breathe
Natural glycerin	Glycerin absorbs moisture from the air, nourishing the skin
Salicylic acid or triclosan	They have an antimicrobial effect, dry out inflammatory elements

It is important to know! There is no need to rely on price or advertising when choosing a foundation for problem skin. Rating advertised in

Media media should also be considered with caution. The components must attract the buyer. Not knowing what should be included cosmetical tools, you can harm your skin with both cheap and expensive cosmetics.

The presence of properties beneficial for nutrition (rejuvenation/treatment) of the skin

Conscientious cosmetics manufacturers in the production of mattifying products use various caring substances:

• oils of natural origin;
• plant extracts;
• amino acids;
• antioxidants;
• vitamins.

Foundation product for aging skin does not fight wrinkles. It does not affect the deep layers of the skin. The antioxidants, plant extracts, and vitamins included in the composition can maintain youth, but not restore it. Sunscreen filters are the only components that prevent premature aging.

The indicator of medicinal ingredients is much higher in foundations for problem skin than for any other skin. It contains: grape seed extract, green tea, antioxidants and vitamins A, C, E, and F. Licorice root and quince seeds allow the skin to reduce sebum production.

Those with dry problem skin need to purchase mattifying products that have a more liquid structure. These products contain more moisturizing ingredients. For skin prone to dryness, products with hyaluronic acid and vitamins A and E are suitable.

Interesting fact! To enhance the effect of the caring components of the cream, you need to eat natural products and do not use chemical shampoos. You need to wash your hair so that the shampoo does not run down your face when rinsed off. This causes skin irritation and rashes.

Tone equalization

All people suffering from acne problem have no even tone faces. A good foundation should even out skin color and not stain. If you know how to apply foundation correctly, you can avoid unpleasant consequences.

Foundations containing silicone even out the tone very well, but they are harmful to the health of the skin. It is necessary to use products that are water-based or made from silicone derivatives that are safe for the skin.

On mature skin, foundation accumulates in wrinkles. To avoid this, you need to use more liquid textures with a shining effect. Such products will hide wrinkles and emphasize advantages.

Acceptable price

A high price is not an indicator of a good foundation for problem skin. When purchasing an expensive product, the buyer may pay most of it only for the brand. Such foundation creams may contain poor quality ingredients.

Products that are priced too low can harm skin health, but there are exceptions among them. There is no need to focus on the cost of the product when purchasing. It is better to pay attention to the composition and reviews of the product.

Possibility of daily use

Not every popular foundation for problem skin that is on the shelf in a store or the best in the rating of creams in a popular glossy magazine needs to be used by you. Some of them are too thick and not suitable for daily use. Light water-based creams are ideal for every day.

Note! To use the cream for as long as possible and preserve beneficial features, it must be stored correctly. There should be no sudden temperature changes in the room where the foundation is located.

Choice of colors

It is very important to choose suitable tone concealer. An incorrectly chosen shade will make the face unnatural. To choose the ideal tone, you need to determine the color type and skin tone level.

Color types:

• warm (golden skin color);
• neutral (no pink or yellow pigment);
• cold (pink undertone).

Skin Tone Levels:

• white;
• white with a beige tint (ivory);
• light beige;
• olive;
• brown;
• black.

Taking into account the color type and skin tone level, you can choose the right shade of foundation. When choosing a product, you need to apply a small amount of tone under the cheekbone line and compare it with your skin color.

No pungent odor

For many people, the smell of a cosmetic product is great importance. When choosing a foundation, some people pay attention to products with a neutral smell, while others are attracted by the scent of perfume. In such cases, everything is individual and there are no rules.

A strong unpleasant odor combined with the flaky texture of a foundation for problem skin is an indicator of the product's deterioration. In such a situation, it is necessary to check the expiration date of the product. If it is in order, then the cosmetic product was stored improperly. In any case, a product with a strong odor is dangerous, harms the skin and should not be used.

Lightweight, suitable for oily skin

Girls with problem skin often choose a very thick foundation in order to hide imperfections. Such actions only emphasize flaws even more, creating a mask on the face and attracting attention to oneself. Problem skin, in most cases, is oily.

Foundations with a light texture suit her well. New generation mattifying products combine both light texture and high coverage. These qualities allow you to hide skin imperfections and not harm it.

Doesn't clog skin

One part of the cosmetics does not clog pores, allowing the skin to breathe and forming a light layer that allows air to pass through. The other part, when used daily, provokes the appearance of blackheads.

Unfortunately, products that clog pores often cause acne. Dense textures can penetrate deep into pores, causing inflammation. Such means should be used rarely. For frequent use, it is better to choose light creams that cover the skin with a barely noticeable veil.

Conceals but doesn't crease

To prevent foundation from creasing, you need to select light textures. Water-based creams and thick silicone products clump. To avoid this, you need to use products with harmless silicone derivatives. Such products also mask the skin well.

Availability of a convenient dispenser

When choosing a foundation, you need to pay attention not only to the quality, shade, texture, but also to the packaging. Products with a dispenser attract customers with their ease of use.

The dispenser allows you to use foundation economically. Thanks to it, the consumer will never squeeze out too much product by carelessly pressing. Another advantage of the dispenser is its hygiene. It eliminates the possibility of germs entering the jar, which makes it safe to use.

Duration of effect

Many owners of oily skin complain that the foundation begins to spread after 2-3 hours. This is often caused by oils. In order to prevent the cosmetic product from spreading, it is necessary to apply it with a sponge or brush, but not with your fingers. Then you need to use mattifying wipes every few hours to remove excess moisture from the skin.

A foundation for oily and problem skin is presented in this video:

In order to improve your appearance, representatives of the fair sex use foundation. However, for makeup to be successful, you need to know how to choose the right this remedy. Let's find out what types of foundation there are, and which one is suitable for different skin types. We’ll also figure out which brands are now the most popular among customers.

Concealer

Types of foundation

Foundations are usually divided into several groups depending on density and consistency.

Camouflage

This is a product with a very dense consistency, the main task of which is to hide significant flaws in appearance (moles, scars, pigmentation, etc.). It can also be used after plastic surgery to disguise scars. The camouflage composition includes silicone, wax and pigment. However, this foundation has a too thick consistency, so it is very difficult to apply it evenly to the skin. But it lasts a long time, and there is no need to correct your makeup. It must be said that you will not be able to wash off the camouflage with plain water; this requires special means.

Thick foundation

This product contains mineral fillers, which provide color. Thick foundation is used in the evening. It, like the previous type, has a thick consistency, so it is also very difficult to apply evenly to the skin.

Light foundation

This product contains the latest generation silicone oils. That is why it fits well on the skin and is washed off well with water. This cream is suitable for daily use. This is what most women prefer.

Cream powder

This perfect option for oily skin. In addition to the fact that this product masks imperfections, it also absorbs excess oil from the skin.

Foundations according to skin type

In order to create good makeup, you need to choose the right foundation. Let's figure out which one is suitable for different skin types.

For dry skin

IN in this case The best option would be a product containing moisturizing agents.

For oily skin

For this type, the ideal option is a dense texture product with a mattifying effect. It should not contain any oils.

For problem skin

In this case, hypoallergenic creams with antibacterial components are needed.

If you take your skin type into account when purchasing foundation, you will avoid many of the troubles that can arise from using the wrong product.

must be selected according to skin type

Properties of foundation

Foundation with mattifying effect

Contains silicone. It is not very easy to apply to the skin, so in this case it is better to use a sponge.

Water-based foundation

These products contain fats, even if this fact is not indicated in the composition. They are easy to apply using either your fingertips or a brush and sponge. These foundations make the complexion even and moisturize the skin.

Powder foundation

This product contains absorbent substances which may cause flaking. That is why they should not be used by those with dry skin types. Before use, it is recommended to apply a moisturizing base to your face.

Fat-based foundation

This cream should be used in winter period to protect dry skin types. It is recommended to apply it with a damp sponge.

Foundation

This foundation seems to combine foundation and powder. It masks all imperfections and makes the complexion even. The foundation is suitable for those with oily and combination skin.

Foundation stick

This is a cream with a very thick texture. It is used only to mask minor imperfections. This product should not be applied to the entire skin of the face. To complete the makeup, apply a light foundation on top.

Note that most foundation creams contain components that protect the skin from ultraviolet rays, so in this case additional protection is not required.

Now let's look at what foundations are available on our market.

Do you work in the beauty industry?.

Summer foundation

For summer makeup It is best to use products with a light texture; thick and greasy creams are best left for application in cold weather. The best option is to use water-based mineral cosmetics with the addition of sun filters (SPF no more than 15). It is ideal if the summer foundation contains hydrogenated hyaluronic acid, which perfectly moisturizes the skin and allows it to retain moisture in the upper layer of the epidermis.

What is included in foundation

The components differ depending on the texture of the cream and its suitability for a particular skin type.

To absorb the released fat, clay, talc or special polymers are added to the composition. Foundations for oily skin should not contain lanolin, which often causes clogging of pores.

Foundations for dry skin include vegetable oils, hyaluronic acid and vitamins A and. If the cream is intended for dry, aging skin, it contains antioxidants and light-reflecting components that care for the skin, mask its minor defects and give it a special shine.

Foundations for problem skin do not include oils, but they do contain grape seed extracts, tea tree extracts, triclosan and salicylic acid.

Zinc, iron and titanium oxides are used as color components. To make the product homogeneous, the composition includes emulsifiers and fiber. Foundations for aging skin contain enzymes, sunscreen filters, and components that have a tightening effect on the skin.

Among the products used daily, a very practical product has appeared - foundation fluid. It makes self-care more comfortable and faster. And at the same time, the skin not only receives a variety of vitamins and nutrients, but also acquires a uniform tone without the effect of a mask.

What is a tonal fluid?

If literally every woman is familiar with foundation (cream), then the incomprehensible prefix “fluid” can clearly be confusing. In order not to get confused in the concepts, you can immediately reveal the intrigue: the fluid is a representative of a group of creams that have a lightweight formula (less fat, more natural ingredients).

Regular fluids are absorbed quickly, in a matter of seconds, without requiring the additional use of day/night cream. But foundation fluid is a good start for makeup of any complexity and purpose, since the pigments it contains will mask all the unevenness and imperfections.

Photos before and after: the effect of applying foundation fluid

By combining two basic products into one (fluid + foundation), manufacturers offered more more options for comfortable use of the product. You can find combined tonal fluids that additionally provide intense hydration, sun protection, rejuvenation and good food all the necessary nutrients.

One of the features of the product: you can achieve a translucent effect or a denser coverage. Thanks to these properties, it is possible to hide skin defects:

• small wrinkles;
• pigmentation (at the same time as the ideal tone, pigment spots become discolored - this is due to the action of the fluid);
• skin imperfections (post acne, blackheads, blackheads);
• circles under the eyes.

In addition to the ability to even out tone, long-term use improves the condition of the skin: it looks healthier, a natural glow appears, and color improves. The fluid base of the product will provide high-quality daily facial care, the effect will be noticeable after a month of use.

The liquid, pleasant texture of the product spreads easily. This allows even the thinnest layer to provide the skin with an even tone. There will be no feeling of a mask. If necessary, you can “layer” the cosmetic product, thereby adjusting the density of the coating. But not all cosmetic products are designed for this.

Composition of tonal fluids

Despite the fact that the product does an excellent job of evening out the tone of the face, but above all, it is a fluid. That is why the structure of the product is lighter and weightless, and the skin quickly absorbs it and at the same time it becomes healthier.

In order for the product to have tinting properties, it contains a certain amount of pigments. Their percentages are different. Therefore, among the cosmetic range of products, you can find foundation fluids with pigment in high concentration (to obtain a dense layer) and with low concentration (can be applied in one layer or in several).

Who is suitable and who is not?

Teenagers often hide imperfect skin with dense texture foundations. These products are ideal for covering skin redness and acne. But using such foundation fluids for teenage skin is contraindicated.

These products are great for girls over 18 years old who have the following skin problems:

• combination skin with a prominent oily sheen (the ideal option is foundation cream fluids that are designed specifically for this type of skin);
• dry skin with flaking (fluids moisturize the skin, do not emphasize flaking, giving the face a healthy glow);
• normal skin (delicate texture will provide a light coverage, which will become the basis for continuing makeup);
• owners of oily skin (they should choose a fluid specifically for oily skin and not use universal ones in order to get rid of intense production sebum, eliminate oily shine on the skin);
• women with any skin type, but with the aim of evening out the complexion and simultaneous rejuvenation (special anti-aging products are selected).

It is not recommended to use foundation fluids for those who have skin diseases and allergic rashes. Also, you should not use several products of the same type in one skin care session: fluid, essences, fatty creams, etc.

How to use?

A popular method for applying any type of foundation is with a sponge or brush. At home, they are often replaced with simple cotton pad. But this application option is not suitable for foundation fluid for the following reasons:

• excessive waste of product;
• Difficulties in uniform distribution over the skin.

Since almost all products in small bottles are equipped with a convenient dispenser, it is easy to apply it simply with your fingers.

If necessary, it is worth applying a second layer of the product, paying attention problem areas. To get a more perfect result, you should use a corrector in these areas.

1. After waiting a few minutes, continue doing the planned makeup.

In order to follow all instructions for applying the product as accurately as possible, it is worth studying the information on the packaging. This is due to the fact that some cosmetic companies recommend using foundation on a previously moisturized face. Then you will need additional steps before applying the product: apply a thin layer of moisturizing cream to cleansed skin, wait until it is completely absorbed, and then use foundation.

How to choose: review of brands

Cosmetic companies are expanding their range of foundation fluids. This is how products appeared that protect the skin from external factors, give easy matte finish, the face after this becomes simply perfect. But it’s not so easy to choose exactly your product, which will become not just a foundation, but also a means for healing the skin from the inside.

Also, among cosmetic products, foundation fluids have appeared in a radically new interpretation: instead of a light liquid, there are compact foundation fluid powders and pencils.

Branded products have quite high cost. In order not to make a mistake when choosing a tonal fluid, you can first purchase a trial version of the product (miniature, probe, tester). The quantity in the sachet is usually enough for a couple of uses. This number of applications is enough to determine whether the foundation is suitable or not.

Vichy

The brand has developments in the field of combining fluid with pigments, the series is called Dermablend. The product can be selected from several basic shades, for example, Opal (opal), Vanilla (flesh), Nude (sand). The proportion of pigment in the product is ¼.

The consistency of the product is quite thick, the foundation fluid thoroughly covers the skin. Designed to effectively hide even the most obvious skin imperfections. The makeup on the face looks impressive, without the appearance of imperfections. The product should be blended to avoid the contours of the foundation fluid.

Chanel

Elite French cosmetics from Chanel has created its own unique remedy– foundation fluid with sun protection filter SPF 25. Les Beiges products have expanded the choice of the required shade. There are 14 of them in total.

The product has a liquid consistency, is evenly distributed over the surface of the face, does not create the feeling of a mask, and does not leave contours. To achieve a healthy glowing effect, you need to choose a product in a tone that is lighter than your skin tone. To create the most natural effect, it is better to purchase a tone-on-tone foundation fluid.

Lancome

For convenient use of foundation fluid, the Lancome brand, following the example of Korean cosmetology companies, created its own version of the product - in the form of compact powder (cushion). The product itself does not look like the usual dry powder. Inside the package there is a sponge soaked in fluid. You can apply it to the skin using an applicator disc.

In addition to the ideal tone, the Lancome Miracle Cushion product takes care of additional effects for the skin: deep hydration, brightening, toning, sun protection (SPF 23).

The palette includes more than 15 shades of foundation fluid, this allows you to choose the tone that best suits your skin color.

Bell

A non-standard approach to the form of fluid release - a foundation stick. Blend Stick HypoAllergenic is a lightweight pencil product that masks skin imperfections, adapts to the tone of the face as much as possible, and is almost invisible if you blend it well with a sponge, finger or brush. The main advantage is that the product is not allergenic.

But the effect of the pencil is not as long-lasting as its liquid counterparts. The product is best used as a makeup correction during the day; after application, it will ideally last on the skin for about a couple of hours. Suitable for any skin type, after 18 years. Ease of use makes it possible to pay more attention to problem areas, creating a denser layer there.

Available in 5 shades of pencil. The volume of 6.5 g is enough for a long time so that you can not only use the pencil as a primary or additional means for correction.

Juvena

Luxury Swiss brand offers women complete care for skin aged 18+, it will also give the face a seductive light tan of a bronze hue. Delining Tinted Fluid smoothes the skin, protects from the sun, thanks to SPF filter 10. The components of the product not only saturate the dermis, but also stimulate self-renewal - the production of elastin and collagen.

The fluid will suit almost any skin tone in its tone, after receiving at least a minimal tan. To thoroughly disguise skin imperfections, it is better to use additional corrective products.

Anti-aging, moisturizing, mattifying foundations, powders, cream powders, spray powders, bronzers, products with reflective particles, highlighters and correctors... Each of these products is designed for different purposes and helps to cope with different problems. Let's make it up.

Types of foundation

To choose the one you need, we divided them into groups.
Liquid Designed for all skin types.
Cream (cream powder)- This is the best foundation for dry skin, as well as combination and mature skin.
Oil based- for dry skin or for a radiant effect.
Water based

Textures

Matte(the word matte on the packaging) are intended for natural makeup without greasy shine. After use, the face does not shine for several hours.
Velvety(the word velvety on the packaging) gives the skin a matte glow.
Shining(on the packaging the word high-shine) - the skin seems to glow, the color turns out denser and brighter.
Shimmering(the word luminous on the packaging) - as a rule, these are bases (or bases) for makeup, which are applied to the face before foundation to create holiday makeup. Reflective particles add shimmer.

Types of coverage

Transparent means(containing less than 50% pigment) are best applied to clean skin. If the product is based on water, it is easier to shade and evens out the tone well.
Light foundations look natural and hide redness and light pigmentation.
Medium density products are able to disguise more than 60% of skin irregularities and make you paler or tanned.
Dense means needed if you need to hide age spots, acne or even tattoos. You just need to apply the tone all over your face and then remove the excess where needed.

Fresh face in 5 steps

Mix the base with reflective particles with foundation and apply to your face. Line your eyes with a dark pencil.	Lightly powder your entire face (including eyelids and lips) and apply lip balm.	Highlight your cheekbones with pink blush: smile and apply it to your apples.	Curl your eyelashes with a curler and cover them with mascara. Then glue the overlays on top.

The best foundation concealer: how to use it correctly

Let's face it: one decorative cosmetics can't get by here. One of the provocateurs of the problem is creams with oils in their composition (the majority of them). If your skin is prone to rashes, then such products are contraindicated for you. Those with combination skin cannot do without them, but you can avoid danger if you apply them only to dry areas.
Almost every cosmetic product that fights acne contains substances such as benzoyl peroxide (used to treat pimples), retinol, AHA and BHA (acids that are added to cosmetics for gentle peeling and getting rid of fine wrinkles). It is these components that help get rid of acne itself and its consequences (for example, pigmentation).
Having provided the skin with proper care, let's start with makeup.

First way hide pimples - act on the principle of a layer cake. First, apply a makeup base to your skin, then apply a thin layer of corrector that suits your skin color, then foundation over the entire face and, if necessary, another thin layer of corrector on top of the tone.
Second way- use the principle of colors that replace each other (for example, yellow masks blue, red masks green). You need to choose a makeup base or corrector of a suitable shade (there are yellow, blue, lilac, green and pink), apply it locally on the pimple (use them very carefully, pointwise, it’s almost a jewelry job), and then even out the overall tone using foundation .

To choose from

Use one of two types of foundations - water-based creams (they mask imperfections well and are especially suitable for acne-prone skin) or cream-powders (they interact well with the skin and are easy to shade

On the way to the perfect tone

STEP #1 Cleanse your skin. The best way- Mix baking soda with cleanser. This way you will get an excellent exfoliator (it is not suitable for those who are being treated for acne).
STEP #2 Wipe your skin with tonic. It connects the two stages of makeup - completes cleansing and improves the penetration of moisturizer.
STEP #3 Now you can apply moisturizer or makeup base to your skin.
STEP #4 Use foundation and concealer. If there are no particular problems, then tone first. If you apply concealer too early, you risk using the wrong amount and using too much product. Thoroughly blend your best foundation for problem skin, and then, if you see that it is not enough to hide all the imperfections, disguise them with a corrector.

Rating of the best foundations

Mix baking soda with toner and cleanse your face. Then use mattifying and foundation products.	Apply a little foundation to your eyelids, then apply gold eyeshadow with a dry brush.	Add light shadows to the inner corner of the eyes, under the eyebrow, above upper lip and in the center of the bottom for volume.	Curl your eyelashes and apply black mascara. Emphasize your eyebrows.

Methods for applying foundation

Using a sponge

Thanks to it, you will be able to apply a small amount of foundation, it will go on smoother and in a thin layer. The sponge helps to better blend or blend the product. different shades. However, keep in mind that the sponge absorbs quite a large amount of product (which is not very economical), and it is also an excellent place for bacteria to grow, so you need to wash it in warm soapy water every two days.

Using your hands

Despite their love for brushes, many makeup artists apply foundation with their fingertips, distributing it evenly from the center of the face to the edges. Your fingers warm the cream and it applies very easily. But be careful near the hairline and on the chin: the tone here needs to be shaded especially carefully so as not to create a mask effect.

Using a brush

It is simply irreplaceable for applying the product to difficult areas (for example, the wings of the nose), but it may take longer. Makeup artists often apply foundation with a brush because it makes the skin look more even and radiant. Just like sponges, brushes need to be washed regularly.
