The perfect foundation can help your skin to breathe and even improve acne conditions.

You might not think that there is so much involved in foundations but this topic can be quite complex. There are foundations for every skin tone, skin type and occasion. The occasion foundations vary depending on what you expect from the product: Full Coverage to hide acne or red blemishes or simply to look flawless, or light coverage to give you a healthy glow during the day.
Which foundation to use and when:
Full coverage foundations can look a little heavy when used during the day. Therefore, these types of foundations are better for evening events unless you really need extra coverage to hide acne scars or blemishes, if not stick with the light and medium coverage ones.
Some foundations are perfect for photographs as they have components that help the skin to look flawless in camera lenses. Other foundations are light coverage and are best for an everyday routine.
