Drugstore foundations for your skin type!!!

Have you ever bought a foundation and it did not look good on you. Perhaps it made you break out or it looked too "cakey." That is because not all foundations work with your skin type.  There are 5 skin types:

Normal Skin
 Women with this skin type are the luckiest! Normal skin has an even tone, soft, a smooth texture, no visible pores or blemishes, and no greasy patches or flaky areas.

Dry Skin 

This type of skin flakes and chaps easily compared to other skin types. It is good to exfoliate before makeup application; this will remove dead skin. Do not use powder foundations! 


Oily Skin 


The pores of this skin type are enlarged making it prone to black-headspimples and Acne. Your face is often shiny around your nose, forehead, and other parts of your face.


Combination Skin
Combination skin will be oily on parts of the face and dry on others.

Sensitive Skin 

"This type of skin reacts externally and internally to changes in life. Can be both oily and dry, it can be easily disturbed by skin-care products and cosmetics. It tends to go blotchy and have broken veins at the same time, it might show a flushed or reddened look or might even itch". ( womens fitness)
