Finding the right foundation for your skin type

Regardless of whether you prefer a natural or dramatic look: Makeup that settle into lines, dries out your skin or leaves your forehead excessively shiny is easy to avoid.

If you have dry skin, foundation may cause additional drying, flaking or dry lines. To achieve a radiant complexion, it is important to properly prepare the skin first. Then use a moisturising foundation or a tinted day cream with an extra dose of moisture, such as our Tinted Moisturising Cream 3 in 1, which combines skin care in the form of its Q10 active ingredient complex with a hint of colour. It also contains many minerals and vitamin E. For a natural-looking complexion with just a hint of colour and well-moisturised skin.

Oily and combination skin tend to be prone to a shiny T-zone. Hyaluron Liquid Foundation by lavera has a lightweight texture which is not too ‘waxy’ (as this can cause excess shine), glides on easily and provides sheer coverage.

If you prefer slightly more coverage and a matte finish, opt for our Mousse Make-up which can be easily applied with your fingers.

Blemished skin is prone to pimples, which can be covered with foundation or more selectively with a cover stick. Formulated with organic witch hazel, Cover & Care Stick from lavera is particularly suitable, as it not only covers blemishes but also prevents inflammation.

A medium to high coverage foundation such as Compact Foundation is particularly suitable for covering redness and pimples. A Compact Foundation with an extra sponge is also especially handy when you are out and about, allowing easy touch-ups wherever you are.

Makeup sponge, brush or finger: How to apply foundation properly

When it comes to the ‘tools’ you use to apply your foundation and concealer, there is no right or wrong.

Although it does depend on the type of makeup you are using: for example, powder is difficult to apply with your fingers, so that it is best to use a brush. But it is also a matter of personal preference: if you use a high-coverage foundation, using a damp makeup sponge will achieve a more natural and radiant finish. You can then build up the coverage to your liking.

In contrast, using a makeup brush will instantly achieve higher opacity. For a natural finish, many makeup artists favour using a tool which is readily available: their fingers. Warming the makeup with the fingers makes it easier to apply.

Important: Make sure you clean your makeup sponges and brushes regularly, as makeup residue, flakes of skin and sebum provide an ideal medium for bacterial proliferation. You should therefore clean your brushes roughly every two weeks to avoid blemishes and redness. Simply lather your makeup brush or sponge with a gentle shampoo in the palm of your hand, rinse and repeat until all makeup residue is gone. Then just gently blot the brush or sponge with a towel and let it dry.

Which shade is right for your is also determined by your skin undertone. Whether you have a cool, warm or neutral undertone is easy to work out: Blue or purple wrist veins typically indicate that you have a cool undertone. Greenish veins indicate a warm undertone. In the case of neutral skin types, the veins appear blueish-green.

Still unsure? Then there is another test you can do! Hold a sheet of white paper next to your face, or wrap a white t-shirt around it. The neutral white makes it easier to identify the undertone of your skin. If your skin seems more yellowish, you have a warm undertone, if it looks more bluish, your undertone is cool.

Your undertone will help you choose which shade of foundation to buy. The name of the shade usually reveals which undertone it is intended for: Rose is for cool undertones, sand for warmer ones and nude or beige are neutral. Lavera uses the same system.
