How to chose the right foundation according to your skin type

Those with oily skin can go for powder based foundation and apply it with a buffing brush, or a stippling brush for full coverage. Also, don't forget to top it with loose powder.

Women with normal to combination skin can also use cream and liquid foundation. Apply the base with a wet sponge or a brush, and then lock in your make up with loose or pressed transparent powder.

If you have flaky or dry skin, avoid using powder based foundations, as it will make your skin look cakey. Instead opt for a cream or liquid based foundation, and apply it with a wet sponge.

Choosing the right foundation for your skin type can be quite a task. Apart from picking the right shade to match your skin tone, you also have to keep in mind your skin type. Women generally pay more emphasis on the tone, rather than the base, and end up buying the wrong product.
