Skin types and foundation

    When I first started using makeup I was pretty confused about both skin types and foundation.
I thought to myself: ''well I guess my skin type is normal....like why wouldn't it be normal? I am normal! ....Right?'' Like it was some sort of norm and if you didn't have it you were weird or something....wrong!

    There are 5 main types: normal, oily, dry, sensitive and combination skin and which ever one you've got is perfectly ok.
There are a few online quizez that can help you pin point your skin type. Like this one.
But I will summarise it quickly:

• Dry- your skin often feels tight and flakes in certain areas.
• Oily- your skin gets greasy and shines.
• Sensitive- you often break out or get irritated by certain products.
• Combination- Oily but only in your T-zone.
• Normal- you don't really experience any of the things I just mentioned.

Foundation is usually made more specific for certain skin types. I did not know this......I thought

you just yank one out of the store and it just does the job.

When you are looking for foundation try to look for ones especially for your skin type.

• The best foundation for oily skin is usually in a powder form or thickher formula.

One I would suggest is Rimmel stay matte foundation. I actually tried this one even though my skin is pretty dry, so it wasn't a perfect match but nevertheless I thought it was pretty good.

The price is really low, the texture is nice and the colour matched me nicely.

• The foundation for dry skin is usually more liquidy. 

My skin is dry and I get break outs, also I am pale as a piece of paper so these are good foundations for pale skin (the lightest shades).

These are a few of my favorite foundations for dry skin (I listed them low to high price);

1. rimmel match perfection
2. l'oreal true match
3. revlon colorstay for dry skin

I just noticed they are also listed in order of best smelling..... so there's that :-).

I will do reviews for every one of them if you would like a  detailed review.

So in conclusion foundation can be a bit complicated but once you find one that is right for you, it can really boost your confidence and set a nice base for the rest of your makeup.
 I hope this helped even the slightest because it sure would have helped me right when I started ''playing'' with makeup.
