In recent years, the make-up industry has churned out launch after launch of hi-tech, next-generation foundations and make-up bases. But sometimes, it can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s so much to think about, and when you\u2019re making a considered purchase \u2013 of a product you might end up applying every day \u2013 it\u2019s important to cover all bases (pun intended).<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve created a comprehensive guide to choosing your perfect foundation, with a range of formulas and textures, finishes (from sheer to full coverage), and shade ranges to choose from. Whether you love a matte base, prefer a sheer, dewy look, or haven\u2019t a clue what will suit you, you\u2019ll find all the answers here.<\/p>\n
Find your formula<\/strong><\/p>\n Formula is the easiest place to start on your quest for your holy grail foundation, as choosing the right consistency will be based on your skin type. So, if you have oily skin with enlarged pores and are prone to excess shine, you might like to go for a powder-based formula to help smooth the look of pores and control oil on your T-zone (like our bestselling\u00a0Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten Foundation<\/a>).<\/p>\n If you have a drier complexion, you might prefer a liquid formula that you can build up to your desired finish, with a touch of radiance to help cancel out any dullness.\u00a0Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundatio<\/a>n is a must-have for keeping skin beautifully moisturised while also adding all the coverage you need.<\/p>\n Check out some more of our favourite foundation formulas here:<\/em><\/p>\n Coverage is key<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to coverage, think about how you like your skin to look: do you want your complexion to appear fresh and natural, but just a bit more perfected and even? Or do you prefer a full glam effect? For a flawless base, it\u2019s all about choosing the right coverage to suit you.<\/p>\n A lot of formulas are buildable (like our formula picks above), so you can layer up to your desired finish \u2013 but if you know what you\u2019re after, take a look at the selection below, ranging from the lightest BB and CC creams, to full coverage finds to help you feel skin confident.<\/p>\n BB\/CC\/tinted moisturisers:<\/strong>\u00a0these skincare-make-up hybrids are perfect if you\u2019re after something quick and easy to apply.<\/p>\n Sheer:<\/strong>\u00a0if you\u2019re look for a touch more coverage that still feels weightless and undetectable, a sheer formula should be your go-to.<\/p>\n Medium:<\/strong>\u00a0if you want a base you can wear all day, and layer up when heading out for the evening, go for medium coverage.<\/p>\n Full:<\/strong>\u00a0if you love the drama and glamour of a full face of make-up, or you have specific concerns like blemishes, texture or discolouration you want to address, a full coverage base will ensure you feel skin confident.<\/p>\n A shade to suit you<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s taken the beauty industry a while to create foundations in a wide range of inclusive shades. At QVC we stock some great brands that cater to all skin tones, ranging from palest to deepest, so you\u2019re bound to find a base that effortlessly complements your complexion.<\/p>\n Which foundation will you be ordering?<\/em><\/p>\n\n
