Liquid foundation, cream foundation, cream foundation, vermicelli, pressed powder, loose powder. . . . . . What are all the things with "pink" in their names, and who are they suitable for? How should it be used? Foundation comes in many forms. However, in terms of makeup effect, it cannot be distinguished simply by form. For example, they are both "cakes". Powder powder has the ability to cover blemishes, while powder powder basically does not. Therefore, the makeup steps they should have are also different: first use a concealer (usually with foundation in the name) to adjust the skin tone and cover blemishes; then use a non-concealer to absorb oil and set the makeup; when touching up makeup, use a concealer product.   It has a concealing effect Liquid foundation It is probably the most common one and is used by most people. There are products with various makeup effects. It is best for beginners to choose something that is light and easy to use. Remember, the function of foundation is not to cover blemishes, but to even out skin tone. Don’t be too greedy for perfection. Don't try to buy a foundation that is whiter than your own to "quickly whiten" your foundation. You will only get a geisha-like effect and a tragic loss of makeup in the afternoon. Powder cream Usually more moisturizing - there are exceptions. Coverage ranges from very low to very high. Most skin-nourishing foundations are cream-based, so most of the most expensive foundations on the market are of this type. Powder paste Powder paste is a wet solid form. The common ones are as follows: a. High coverage powder. Almost equivalent to concealer. It is rarely used in daily life, but is used more when you need to be on camera. It's like the bright and colorful ones that are common in photo studios. Of course, there are also serious counter brands, such as the common covermark magic powder, MAC full cover powder, KA powder, etc. b. Moisturizing powder: Commonly found in lady brands, it has average coverage and high moisturizing power. c. Texture Transforming Powder: It is said to be solid in the box, liquid when applied, and powdery on the face. Common benefits are Gramophone foundation and Maxfactor powder. It should be noted that this kind of foundation is not as moisturizing as it feels. The water and oil evaporate quickly, otherwise how can it be converted into powder. I have used Gramophone myself. It is thin and easy to apply. It has very weak concealing power. It is excellent at filling pores. It is not long-lasting. It is suitable for skin with balanced water and oil and no other blemishes except pores to quickly apply makeup, and the makeup effect will be very natural. Cushion Foundation It is basically like a sponge air cushion absorbing liquid foundation. It’s so popular, even NARS, Chanel and Armani have launched it this year! The original Korean makeup air cushions focused on moisturizing and glossing, so their covering power was not strong and makeup would come off easily. But now there are more and more products focusing on "lasting makeup", such as Armani's new air cushion. Vermicelli It is basically a stick-shaped foundation. It mainly has a concealing effect. Powder powder This is also one of the most common ones. It looks like a "cake" and if it has the ability to cover blemishes, it is called a "powder cake". If the makeup is almost transparent and cannot cover any blemishes, it is a "powder powder", which is only used to set the makeup after sunscreen, liquid foundation, and cream foundation. Base makeup powder is usually suitable for both wet and dry use, so it is very convenient to use. Mineral powder It looks like loose powder, but has the ability to cover blemishes. It is usually applied with a brush.   No concealer effect Loose powder It is also called powder, crushed powder, setting powder, etc. Compared with the powder powder, which is also powdery, the concealing ability is very weak, and it is normal that it cannot cover spots. The main function is to set makeup. You can also press it with loose powder after applying sunscreen to remove shine. Powder Cake Powder Cake is loose powder pressed into a cake. It will be more convenient to carry than loose powder.
