Did you know that natural foundations have specific ingredients to suit your skin? Let’s explore a few things to consider to find a suitable natural foundation.
Things To Consider When Buying A Natural Foundation
- Do Not Swatch On Your Wrist
When matching a foundation with your skin tone, apply it on your cheeks or jaw. Do not apply it on your wrist as the skin tone on your wrist may not match your facial skin. If you prefer tanning your face, match the foundation shade with it. If you opt for a lighter shade, it will not offer decent coverage to the dark parts of your face.
- Know Your Undertone
Different foundations suit different undertones. Figure out whether you have a warm, cool, or neutral undertone and pick a foundation accordingly.
- Application And Staying Power
The foundation should blend well on your face and not get cakey. Besides, it should stay long enough to eliminate the need for touch-ups.
- SPF
Look for a foundation that offers sun protection. A foundation with SPF 30 or above provides optimum protection from the harmful sun rays. It also lets you skip the step to apply a separate sunscreen on your face.
- Finish
Natural foundations are available in a matte or dewy finish. Matte foundations provide a shine-free look, whereas dewy finish imparts a slightly glossy effect.
- Coverage
Foundations offer full, medium, or light coverage. Depending on your skin’s requirement, opt for a suitable coverage. If you need to cover dark spots and scars, go for full coverage. If you need to just even out your skin tone, go for light or medium coverage.
- Ingredients
Natural foundations use safe and nourishing ingredients that are gentle on the skin. These ingredients are shea butter, clay, argan oil, organic cocoa powder, witch hazel, aloe gel, and emulsifying wax.
