Tips for Choosing a New Foundation

It can be risky to branch out to new foundations, but maybe you want to try something new, or you weren’t happy with the foundation you bought last time. Whatever the reason, if you are ready to try something new, here are some simple tips to keep in mind.

1. Know your price range. You can spend anywhere from $3 to $100 when you buy a new foundation, so have an idea in mind before you start looking of what price range you are in. It will narrow your field of options considerably, making it much easier to make a decision.
2. Know your skin’s undertone. Different brands and shades of foundation work better for different skin tones, so know whether you are warm or cool. I’ve found it helpful to check a company’s website before I go to the store to purchase the foundation, because you can find more detailed information about what shade is right for you online than you can on the package.
3. Know your skin type. If you have oily skin, chances are you will need a different foundation than someone who has dry skin. So know which you are and choose foundation accordingly. For example, I have to stick with oil-free foundations since I have combination skin, or else my skin is shiny by 11am.
4. If you’ve found something you like, don’t be too hasty to want to try tons of other products. I know it may sound dull, but I always regret it when I decide to try something new once I have already found something I like. I hardly ever like the new product, and just end up going back and purchasing what I originally had, and wasting money on a product I never use. If you haven’t yet found something you really love, than by all means, keep shopping around until you do.

These are just some simple tips to keep in mind the next time you head out to restock on foundation. Good luck ladies!
