And since each person\u2019s skin has different needs, it shouldn\u2019t only be that your skincare is tailored to your type, but also your foundation. The goal of using foundation is to balance the appearance of the skin and to maintain the most even complexion possible. If you choose a foundation that is not optimally matched to your skin type, you will end up instead calling attention to that which you\u2019re trying to conceal. Though the key to getting successful foundation results is and remains a well-balanced skincare routine!<\/strong><\/span><br><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Regarding my recommendations in this article, I am referring exclusively to natural foundations \u2013 and their ingredients support other natural &amp; organic skincare products.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are basically three types of foundation: liquid foundation, cream foundation and mineral \/ powder foundation.

It feels slack and thin, and is accentuated with small wrinkles. This is an indication that the skin doesn\u2019t produce enough fats and thus cannot store enough moisture.<\/span><br><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that the result of applying foundation doesn\u2019t end up &#8220;crumbly&#8221; or flaky \u2013 and also that the skin doesn\u2019t feel even drier throughout the day \u2013 a liquid foundation, with its light and fluid texture, is best.

A tinted day cream is also a good alternative to a full coverage foundation \u2013 as it is very light, and simultaneously nourishes &amp; moisturizes.

Your skin produces too much sebum, which makes it very shiny and clogs the pores, causing pimples and inflammation.<\/span><br><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To take some of that shine away \u2013 and to prevent your foundation from melting due to the natural oils in your skin \u2013 a foundation with little or no oil is advisable. A mineral foundation would therefore be optimal. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/natural-mineral-organic-makeup\/hiro-mineral-natural-foundation\/vegan-spf-hiro-cosmetics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HIRO Mineral Foundation SPF 25<\/a> contains zinc oxide, which is anti-inflammatory and dehydrating. It has a high opacity which allows it to cover even more noticeable impurities and acne.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019d still rather use a liquid foundation, it is best to first prep the face with a transparent powder \u2013 just make sure not to use too much powder, as this will stimulate the skin to produce even more sebum. The <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/natural-mineral-organic-makeup\/hiro-no-doubt-natural-vegan-foundation.html\" target=\"_blank\">No Doubt Natural Foundation from HIRO Cosmetics<\/a>, for instance, has a light matte finish with high opacity and contains thyme and oregano \u2013 to help combat blemishes.

With its aloe vera base, the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/organic-skincare\/natural-primers\/ilia-true-skin-radiant-priming-serum-light-it-up.html\" target=\"_blank\">ILIA True Skin Radiant Priming Serum<\/a> moisturises and tightens the skin naturally without the use of silicones \u2013 and can be worn as is. Eye creams, such as <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/organic-skincare\/eyecare\/tata-harper-illuminating-eye-cream.html\" target=\"_blank\">Tata Harper&#8217;s Illuminating Eye Cream<\/a> or <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/organic-skincare\/eyecare\/absolution-le-soin-regard.html\" target=\"_blank\">Absolution\u2019s Le Soin Regard<\/a> give a tautness to the delicate area around the eye, and have a natural blurring effect. A similar effect can be achieved by adding a bit of cream highlighter to your concealer: this is where the liquid <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/natural-mineral-organic-makeup\/le-multi-correcteur-sweet-and-safe.html\" target=\"_blank\">Le Multi Correcteur from Absolution<\/a> could come in handy.<\/span><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/problems-concerns\/sensitive-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sensible Haut (opens in a new tab)\">Sensitive skin<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your skin reacts quickly to external influences \u2013 such as sun, cold, certain ingredients and even pressure (for example, when cleaning the face) \u2013 with irritation, redness and distension, it needs to be given special attention.<\/span><br><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First &amp; foremost, it should be ensured that the skin is calmed and the potential triggers are minimized. Therefore, a suitable primer for this skin type is a product that reduces redness and fights inflammation, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/organic-skincare\/toning-balancing\/dr.-alkaitis-organic-soothing-gel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soothing Gel from Dr. Alkaitis<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/organic-skincare\/oil-serum\/pai-sea-aster-wild-oat-instant-calm-anti-redness-serum.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PAI Skincare&#8217;s Sea Aster &amp; Wild Oat Instant Calm Redness Serum<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you react to specific ingredients, like essential oils or other plant extracts, then look in advance to see exactly what the foundation you\u2019ve chosen contains (in order to avoid an unnecessary reaction). If you want to cover very apparent blemishes, then you can try using the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/natural-mineral-organic-makeup\/hiro-mineral-natural-foundation\/vegan-spf-hiro-cosmetics.html\" target=\"_blank\">HIRO Mineral Foundation SPF 25<\/a>, which offers strong coverage; it also acts as a sunscreen and contains only four ingredients. Other foundations, like the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/natural-mineral-organic-makeup\/hiro-mineral-natural-foundation\/true-skin-serum-foundation-ilia.html\" target=\"_blank\">ILIA Beauty True Skin Serum Foundation<\/a> or HIRO&#8217;s <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/natural-mineral-organic-makeup\/hiro-no-doubt-natural-vegan-foundation.html\" target=\"_blank\">No Doubt Natural Foundation<\/a>, contain anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile or marula oil. For those with highly sensitive skin: apply only as much as your skin can tolerate \u2013 and use only that which helps keep it in good condition.<\/span><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/problems-concerns\/normal-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Normale Haut (opens in a new tab)\">Normal skin<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This refers to the lucky ones that have no skin problems, because their skin is naturally balanced. If you have \u201cnormal\u201d skin, then you can wear any type of foundation, mostly depending on which texture you prefer and the amount of coverage you\u2019re looking for.<\/span><br><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though I\u2019m a makeup artist, I recommend leaving the skin completely bare for longer periods of time.
