Do you have oily, combination or dry skin? Find your perfect foundation here for your skin type!

 

It's important to have a good base on before you do your preferred make up look. A good foundation will give you a blank canvas to work on without being too dry, or an oily mess.

To choose the best foundation, you need to identify your skin type – normal, sensitive, oily, dry or combination. A dewy foundation might look too oily and shiny on a person with oily skin while a matte foundation will end up look dry and crusty on someone with dry skin.

Confused? Don’t worry, we have listed the best foundations for dry and oily skin. Read on to find our top picks that you can buy online at Cosmetic Capital.

 

 

Oily

 

For oily skin, a matte foundation with an oil control formula will work best. These are usually long wearing.

The formula absorbs oil, helps control shine and is sweat proof. It applies onto the skin very smoothly and doesn’t budge on oily skin. It also gives good coverage.

 

 

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation

The L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation is a full coverage matte foundation that looks natural. It has a creamy formula that absorbs oil, so this one is a great pick for those who have oily skin. It also stays on a good long 24 hours without developing a shiny coat.

 

 

Dry

 

A dewy foundation or a matte foundation with a moisturising formula would work well for those with dry skin. The moisturiser will prevent your face from drying out while a dewy finish will give the appearance of fresh and younger looking skin.
