Hi Beauties,

I thought i'd share with you some simple tips on selecting a foundation suitable for your skin type and needs. Although i am no expert, i have come to with this knowledge from personal experience and i believe these tips would go a long way to help select the right product and save the much needed cash. Often times i have gone to buy foundation that i have regretted simply because it was not what i was looking for or i felt it did not suit me or the shade or undertone was not right. Prior to this i had no idea on different formulations of products or undertones. If i saw that i liked a foundation a friend wore i'd go get the same regardless of the fact that we would have different skin types and undertones. Trial and error was costly and these tended to go to waste. Anyways if you are going through the exact same challenge below are some tips and tricks.

Foundations come in various formulas:

Creams, powders, liquids, gel, cream-to-powders, etc

In my opinion selection of the right type of foundation for yourself depends on 3 most important factors:

I happened to pay a random visit to Superdrug just to check out the new products which i knew had been released from various brands, mind you i wasn't planning on buying anything, o_o! Right! So as i wander around my eye catches some yellow banner labelled CLEARANCE. Hmmmm! That's interesting! So the clearance aisle is basically shelf pulls of various brands of makeup, some of the products are new whiles others maybe opened, broken, smeared, etc and have been greatly reduced with prices ranging from 10p to 1.99. Upon reaching that aisle, i instantly saw a couple of sleek makeup foundations. Rummaging through quickly i spotted my shade of their New Skin Revive in Demerara, for 1.99???!!!! Wow! Which is like one-fourth the usual price, yayyyyyyy! I also saw the Creme to Powder also in my shade and i was like why not? Also for 1.99! Who doesn't love bargains? So i grabbed one as i thought to try it out.
