Use your own word! Hehe

Today, I will be sharing on the different kinds of base products and whether how should we choose them. Basically, we have 3 types of base products, Foundation, BB and tinted moisturizer. And all of them have the same purpose but works differently and have different effect.

First foundation. Foundation have the most amount of coverage but yet it is also the most 'unhealthy' for all 3. There are a lot of foundations out there in the market and that they can be further separated into 3 kind, powder, liquid and cream. I would say that all 3 have rather similar effect, it only matters on what kind of finish that you want. A powder foundation will give generally a matte finish, a liquid one can differ, there are liquid foundation that gives only a light and sheer coverage and a dewy look. There are also some that gives high coverage with a matte look. A cream based foundation is the one with the most full coverage and gives a look that differs. So it really depends on what you want and you need. Always know your kind condition, what kind of coverage do you need and also what kind of finish would you prefer.

BB cream, also known as Blemish/ Beauty Balm. I would say that it is more of a light foundation with a little hint of moisturizer. For this, DO NOT EXPECT FULL COVERAGE!!! No matter what the product says, it have the fullest coverage, or it is a skin perfecter, that is never gonna happen.But it does gives you a rather reasonable coverage and it also feels better for you skin as compare to a foundation. It will be a good choice if you do need some coverage but wants to feel that your skin is comfortable with makeup on hotter weather.

The last one is tinted moisturizer. It have the lightest coverage of all 3 but is the most healthy for the skin. It is like a moisturizer which a little color pigments that give you the light and sheer coverage which does balance out your skin tone in some extend. If you have a near perfect skin and just wants some extra coverage then it will be good for you. Personally, this is not a product for me as I have problematic skin.

This is just an overview on all 3 kinds of base products and how should you choose base on what it does and how it works. Hope that this is helpful to all of you in terms of your base foundation.
