YOUR PERFECT FOUNDATION

One of the products I get asked about most is foundation. A lot of people don't take their skin type into consideration when buying a foundation, and therefore end up with a look they don't like. Hopefully this quick guide to your perfect foundation will help you understand your skins specific needs.
The first step is recognizing your skin type.

NORMAL SKIN:
  • small pores
  • not prone to breakouts
  • even in tone
  • neither dry nor oily

OILY SKIN:
  • overall shine
  • freequent breakouts
  • few lines or wrinkles
  • larger pores

CoMBiNaTION SKIN:
  • oily t-zone
  • drier skin or normal skin on the cheeks
  • enlarged pores on chin and cheeks
  • breakouts on t-zone

DRY SKIN:
  • Pores are invisible
  • skin is flakey, particularily at night
  • lines around the eyes and mouth
