Ever stood in a sea of foundation bottles wondering, “Is this foundation perfect for a full glam look” because you cannot risk getting the wrong foundation before an important event. Foundation prepares the base of your makeup and is the most important for the rest of your makeup, so choosing the right coverage makes a world of difference.
Three Types of Foundation Coverage
Coverage basically means how much your skin is covered with the foundation to create an even base for your makeup. Some prefer a very light coverage, which is sheer coverage for an everyday look. Depending on the occasion or event, some prefer medium to full coverage for the full glam look.
Sheer Coverage Foundation
Sheer coverage foundations are best for natural makeup or ‘no-makeup’ look. You can apply this foundation using your fingertips for a natural and fresh look. The formula is lightweight with a thin and easily blendable consistency, which provides a fresh, dewy and no visible texture on the face. During hot and humid weather, when even a single layer of sunscreen feels too much, sheer coverage foundations are best because of their breathable finish. If your goal is to keep your makeup effortless, like for daily office wear, sheer coverage foundations are best.
Medium Coverage Foundation
Medium coverage foundations provide a more balanced yet polished look and even out skin tone by concealing minor blemishes and acne scars. Usually the liquid and cream formulas provide medium coverage and are buildable, you can cover certain areas by using more foundation and blending properly without making a patch. You can achieve this look by using Colors Queen Pure Perfection Foundation and Hollywood Flawless Filter Foundation.
Full Coverage Foundation
Full coverage foundation or High coverage foundation are same as they both provide a flawless, perfected base for a glam look. The formula is highly pigmented and covers blemishes, pigmentation and uneven texture for a full, airbrushed look. You can also choose the finish, matte or dewy and choose the foundation accordingly. For a more natural matte finish, use Ultra Definition Liquid Foundation and Red Cushion Foundation.
Which Coverage is Right for You?
Choosing the right foundation coverage is based more on what you want to achieve by using this foundation and the type of finish or coverage you want. If you want something for your everyday vibe, choose a foundation with sheer coverage which is lightweight and does not require too much blending. If you want to achieve a full glam look, choose a foundation with medium to full coverage. So next time you are shopping for foundation, ask yourself, “What kind of look do I want, how long do I need it to last, and how comfortable will it feel?” Answer these questions and choose your coverage accordingly.
