In this day and age make up is something that a lot of people cannot live without. And like most necessities, such as gasoline or milk, it’s fairly expensive. We associate expense with value, so the more expensive a product is, the better it must be. While this is not always the case, especially for make up, people are willing to spend a lot of money on make up because the last thing they want people to associate their face with is cheapness. So it is slightly ironic that people are eager to spend a large amount of money on the newest fad in cosmetics while still applying their make up with a cheap, ineffective make up brush. Good make up is nothing without a good brush; the same is true of any kind of paint.

Using a brush is arguably the best way to apply liquid foundation.  With a brush you’ll end up using significantly less foundation and you’ll also have more precise control over other methods of application.  But of course it matters that you get a quality brush because an ineffective brush will mute all of the advantages of using a brush.  You’ll end up using more make up than you want, foundation will go on streaky and uneven, and so on.

Liquid foundations are the most versatile type of foundation available. It’s used often because it works well for skins that need a small to moderate amount of coverage. Liquid foundations are difficult to spot and helps give the wearer a more natural look. There are a few reasons why liquid foundation is versatile and one of them is because of the different bases that they’re made with. You have to decide whether to use a cream or an powder foundation based on the oil content of your skin. With oily skin it is best to use a powder foundation because it will absorb the moisture. If you have dry skin, you should use a cream foundation, since it gets absorbed into the skin instead of just sitting on top of it like powder. And cream foundations are specially formulated to hydrate the skin. Liquid foundation is different because it will work fine with dry skin, oily skin and combination skin types.

The reason that liquid foundation can be used for all skin types is because they’re made with different bases. Liquid foundation that is made with an oil based formula will be suitable for wearers that have dry or normal skin. And then for wearers with oily skin a liquid foundation with a water based formula will work best for them. It’s important to not only match liquid foundation to your skin type but also to your complexion. The main draw of liquid foundation is that it is not easily visible so it’s imperative that it’s well blended. So that means you will get the best results when the foundation matches your natural skin tone. Making sure that your liquid foundation matches your skin type and skin tone will make onlookers wonder if you’re wearing any make up at all.
