Finding the right makeup foundation is crucial as you have to consider many components before you go to the drug store.

1
Determine the formulation of your skin
This is the most important thing to look at before you buy your makeup. The formulation of your skin is the type of skin you have. They can be basically of two types: oily or dry. There are different types of foundations for different types of skin. If you have a dry skin, you should go for an oil-based foundation whereas you should go for a water-based or oil-free foundation if you have oily skin. -

Choose the coverage
The coverage of the foundation is also very important. This will tell how much the foundation will cover the flaws or blemishes on your skin. For uneven skin, always use a medium coverage foundation and similarly, light coverage foundations can be used for good skins. -
3
Visit a renowned drug store
Always try to buy your cosmetics from a drug store that is well reputed and renowned. There are many stores that sell copies of products which can harm your skin so beware. -

Choose colours close to your skin tone
You need to select colours that are close to your skin tone. A yellow-based foundation can match with all skin tones and looks natural on your face. If you have a light skin tone, go for a pinkish shade as that will look more natural on you. -

Test the foundation
Apply a small amount of the foundation on your jaw line and look yourself in the mirror. Try to apply two or three shades and match them with your skin tone. Buy the one that you feel is the more natural.
