Different types of foundation for different skin tones

This blog gives you an idea about the different types of foundation. There are three types of foundation, they are:
 

The liquid foundation is considered to give a very natural texture. Hence, liquid foundation can be used every day. It can be applied with ease as it does make the skin cakey. It contains both oil and water based ingredients. The oil based one is for people with dry skin and the water based one is best suited for oily skin. You should always go for a foundation with a shade lighter than your actual skin tone. The undertones are pink, orange and yellow base formulas. Most of the foundations come in pink-based, orange-based and yellow-based formulas.

Cream based foundations are generally very sticky. They either come in tubes or compacts. They cover imperfection completely and makeup artists swear by these. They are easy to apply as they glide on smoothly. 

Powder foundations are in powdered form and perfect if you are always in a hurry. These are perfect for oily skin as they give dry texture. You can apply these using a kabuki brush.

Different types of gloss applicators

There are many varieties of lip glosses but have you ever thought about the different types of lip gloss applicator? There are three basic types of lip gloss applicator. They are:

The most common type is the doe foot applicator which is a simple stick with a slanted sponge tip at the end. The sponge applicator lip gloss can be easily carried anywhere. On the downside, the sponge applicator can accrue bacteria. The sponge applicator is also short, so the gloss at the bottom of the cylindrical tube can’t be retrieve.

The squeeze tube applicator is also pretty common. It is also angled, so all you need to do is squeeze the tube to produce the lip gloss and apply it over your lips. It can be easily cleaned but sometimes applying it can get a little messy.

The click-pen brush applicator has a thin tube and has a cap on top of it. All you need to do is take off the cap and twist it, the gloss will come our through the thin brushes and you can apply it on your lips. The application is precise and you can define your lips easily.
