If you regularly wear foundation, you\u2019ll know that finding the right shade is often the number one concern. However, for flawless results, finding a formula that works for your skin type is also key.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our founder and international MUA Denise Rabor\u2019s top tips for finding the right foundation<\/a> for your skin type\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/span>Starting your routine<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Long lasting foundation starts with good skincare<\/a>. Foundation settles in dry areas, so cleansing and using a nourishing moisturiser is so important. Let your skincare sink in before applying makeup and then begin with a primer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A primer creates a long-lasting base for your foundation and there\u2019s plenty of options out there to suit your needs, so do find something that with compliment what you\u2019re trying to achieve with your look.<\/p>\n

For extra staying power, set with a light dusting of powder and finish with a setting spray.<\/p>\n

<\/span>For Dry Skin<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Whether your skin is dry and patchy, or dehydrated and tight, you\u2019ll need a foundation that delivers hydration. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid<\/a> or glycerin<\/a> and formulas that promise a luminous or dewy finish.<\/p>\n

Look for lightweight foundations as they won\u2019t cling to dry areas.<\/p>\n

NYX Born to Glow Naturally Radiant Foundation<\/strong><\/a>: gives buildable coverage that feels light on the skin and leaves a healthy glow. Available in an impressive 45 shades.<\/p>\n

<\/span>For Oily and Combination Skin<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

For oily skin types, you could try a slightly thicker foundation formula, followed by a light dusting of powder to tackle shine. Oil free and mattifying formulas will help prevent shine throughout the day.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>For Sensitive Skin<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Skin that\u2019s sensitive and easily irritated needs multi-tasking formulas that will hydrate, soothe and minimise redness. Light formulas such as tinted moisturisers or CC (colour correcting) products are a good choice. Avoid foundations that are focused around luminosity, as they can highlight problem areas, rather than disguising them. Look on the packaging for “preservative-free” and “fragrance-free” products as they could be potential irritants.<\/p>\n

You could try<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always best to apply foundation first, then add concealer to areas that need more coverage to give a more natural, fresh finish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":17730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-face","category-makeup"],"yoast_head":"\nFoundation Skin Type: Perfect Your Base Makeup<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Here\u2019s our founder and international MUA Denise Rabor\u2019s top tips for finding the right foundation for your skin type.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/makeup\/find-the-right-foundation-for-your-skin-type\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Find the right Foundation for your Skin Type!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Here\u2019s our founder and international MUA Denise Rabor\u2019s top tips for finding the right foundation for your skin type.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/makeup\/find-the-right-foundation-for-your-skin-type\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"WOW Beauty -
