    Match your foundation to your skin type

    September 26, 2014

    Find your perfect match…

    FOR MATURE SKIN 
    Choose a foundation with lifting, tightening and firming ingredients that also provides a good coverage. Look out for formulas with pigments that bounce light off the skin, making the complexion look more radiant and wrinkles less visible.
    Products we recommend
    1. Gatineau Defi Lift 3D Lift Care Foundation SPF 10 in Naturel Dorè (R495)
    2. Revlon Age Defying Firming + Lifting Makeup SPF 15 in 55 Cool Beige (R279)
    3. Lancôme Teint Vissionaire Skin Perfecting Makeup Duo SPF 20 in 02 (R515)

    FOR OILY OR BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN 
    Opt for a ‘mattifying’ foundation that is oil-free and has the ability to control excess shine and unwanted breakouts. These foundations are usually buildable and provide long-lasting coverage even though the textures are rather lightweight.
    Products we recommend
    1. The Body Shop Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream in 03 (R85)
    2.
    Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation in 303 True Nude (R119.95)
    3. Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Makeup in Caramel 120 (R220)

    FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN 
    Choose a foundation with moisturising properties. They are slightly thicker than oil-free foundations and very easy to blend. They’re designed to give your skin a healthy glow.
    Products we recommend
    1. Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 in Shade 03 (R320)
    2.
    Estée Lauder Perfectionist Youth Infusing Makeup SPF 25 (R585)
    3. Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hours Foundation (R109.95)

    FOR SENSITIVE SKIN 
    Nowadays, there’s a host of fabulous foundations that cater for those with sensitive skin. Look for foundations that have gentle, soothing properties, such as vitamins E and C, which calm and protect the skin instead of causing it to flare up.
    Products we recommend
    1. Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation in Honey (R750)
    2. Bionike Defence Color Second Skin Cream Compact Foundation SPF 20 in 501 Sable (R195)
    3. Korres Wild Rose Foundation SPF 15 in RF2 (R325)

    FOR NORMAL/COMBINATION SKIN 
    Those with normal and combination skin types have the advantage of choosing from a variety of different formulas. For complexions that are neither too oily nor too dry, all that’s needed is a light to medium coverage formula to even and perfect the tone.
    Products we recommend
    1. Guerlain Tenue De Perfection Timeproof Foundation SPF 20 in 02 Beige (R795)
    2. Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup in Toast 73 (R320)
    3. Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Air – Whipped Foundation in Nude 021 (R164.95)
