Skin Types

So depending on the type of skin you have there is a specific kind of makeup for you. The type of makeup you use can also be based on your preference of coverage. If you have acne or skin-problems you might need to be prescribed a certain type of makeup or want to use a more gentle formula on your skin so it won't irritate it or cause further acne. If you have oily skin you might want to use something with a more matte finish that is oil free and avoid applying it with your hands so you don't transfer the oil from your hands to your face. If you have dry skin something that is more hydrating and moisturizing would be better for your skin to avoid drying it out further. There are several different skin types and several different options out there you just have to try the out and figure out which you like best and what works for you and your skin type. Now moving on to coverage say you have a few blemishes on your face, or freckles, or even a birth mark, or all of these if you are comfortable with them or like them and you just want to even out your skin tone then there are a few options. A tinted moisturizer could be one it has some color to it its light weight and some of them you can even build up until you get the type of coverage you like and it is better for your skin. There are also other options like a light-medium coverage foundation which is just foundation that doesn't go on as heavy it again evens out skin tone but probably won't be as light or as good for your skin and again some of these can be built up as well. Some people are going for an even lighter feel or more natural look and you can skip the foundation in whole but you might still want to put on something with an SPF all over your face just to protect it from the sun. But in this doesn't mean you don't have to wear any makeup at all (unless up don't want to) you can still put on concealer to hint "conceal" any blemishes or discoloration that are avoiding you for achieving the look you want. If you are looking to give your self a just all over even, smooth, flat, perfect, flawless look then you would definitely want to go with a more heavy-full coverage foundation which would cover any and all blemishes discolorations and smooth your face to the point where everything looks even and the same tone. These foundations however do tend to seem heavier, but there may be some out there that are lighter weight or better for your skin then the typical full coverage foundation. There are so many brands, types, tones and colors to find out whats right for you and which you like you can read reviews or watch videos or just search around and try out different ones.
