Organic cream

Face foundation consists of two main components: an emulsion (oil and moisturizer) and a color paste (powder and pigments). Vitamin complexes, components with protective properties, and sun filters are also added to the composition. The coverage density depends on the amount of powder contained in the composition: the more powder added to the composition, the denser the tone coverage will be.

Review of the best foundations with natural composition

If you don’t want to bother with preparing a home remedy, there are now many good manufacturers of natural foundation creams:

Jurassic spa

This cream has a very light texture, more like a fluid than a cream. Delicate floral aroma. The shade adapts perfectly to skin color. Natural components, each of which performs its own function:

1. Saw palmetto extract fights the hormonal cause of acne and oily skin (reduces the reaction of sebaceous gland receptors to dihydrotestosterone).
2. rosemary extract inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
3. panthenol reduces inflammation
4. lamellar emulsion is completely natural. It contains a small proportion of oils, so it does not clog pores, enhances the bioavailability of extracts and perfectly moisturizes the skin;
5. natural pigments (iron oxides) with surface treatment with lecithin delicately tint the skin, giving it a well-groomed appearance.

This cream has positive effect on problematic oily skin, but does not have high covering power, so to mask some unevenness and problem areas, you will need to use a concealer over it.

Average cost: 650 rubles

Neo Bio

This product is not very suitable for fair skin, as it comes in only two shades - medium and dark. The color adapts to the skin tone due to its translucent consistency, but is still noticeable on fair skin. Again, it has low covering power, and serves rather to even out the overall tone. It moisturizes the skin well and is easily washed off with plain water. Even after washing, the skin looks refreshed and hydrated, which shows the effect of nutrients on the skin. It has a fresh aroma, reminiscent of cucumber or aloe. When applied to the skin, it seems to glide over it due to its liquid consistency, but quickly thickens in the air.

Average cost: 660 rubles

Dado sens

Available in two shades: dark and light. It is not felt at all on the skin, very light and soft. Soothes the skin, reduces inflammation, does not dry out. Has a mattifying effect. An excellent option for caring for oily problem skin.

Average cost: 2800 rubles

Dr. Hauska

The consistency is similar to a rich nourishing cream. Incredibly nourishes the skin and at the same time evens out the tone and gives the skin radiance. The shade of the cream is dark, but if you mix it with your regular cream, you can make the shade lighter. The skin does not mattify at all, after application there is a shine, but, like after a good nourishing mask, after a few minutes everything is absorbed. Provides excellent care, fights inflammation and gets rid of flaking and dry skin the first time. The aroma is herbal, like all products of this brand. Many consider this scent to be more of a plus than a minus. The cream gives a pleasant feeling of tightness and elasticity throughout the day, thanks to this product the skin really revitalizes.

Average cost: 1900 rubles

Annemarie Boerlind

This product is available in two colors - almond and beige. The product perfectly combines properties such as daytime moisturizing, tone evening and protection from ultraviolet radiation of class A and B. Many note that this cream gives the skin incredible radiance and tenderness. Absolutely invisible on the skin. The coverage is not high; you will also have to use a concealer under the cream if you have problem skin with rashes.

Average cost: 2300 rubles

Zao make-up

The cream perfectly mattifies and moisturizes the skin, making it velvety. Lasts well, does not make the skin greasy, and nourishes the skin. Go to bed in a very light tone, evening out your complexion. Medium density consistency. For concealment, it is recommended to use an additional corrector or concealer. It has a very pleasant aroma. There are very good reviews for this cream on the Internet.

Average cost: 4700 rubles

Natura Siberika

This is the first natural foundation that appeared in our stores. The cream itself is thick, the consistency is more similar to the product from Dr. Hauska. But the advantage of this consistency is its higher coverage, so this cream perfectly masks skin imperfections. Has a mattifying effect and leaves no shine. It applies well, stays on well, and your makeup stays with you all day.

Average cost: 1000 rubles

For problem skin

For problematic skin with inflammation it is especially necessary to select a foundation with a natural composition, since the wrong cream will nullify all the results of previous facial care. Problem skin has difficulty with pores becoming clogged with sebum, dead cells and low-quality cosmetics or skincare products. Clogged pores become inflamed and we see a pimple or boil.

To prevent this from happening, you need to choose high-quality natural skin care products. And the choice of foundation is very important here, since people with problem skin use foundation very often. In addition, organic products have a soothing and healing effect on the skin due to the components contained in the composition.

Natural creams provide protection from UV rays (most) and increase the protective properties of the epidermis. A good choice for problem skin would be options such as Zao make-up, Dado sens, Jurassic spa.

In the cosmetic arsenal of a modern woman, as a rule, there are many products for creating the perfect makeup. However, among all this variety, it is foundation that, as if by magic, can transform your appearance in a matter of minutes, hiding small wrinkles or masking skin imperfections. That is why special attention should be paid to its acquisition, so that instead of a wonderful transformation, you do not turn your face into a mask.

Basic criteria for choosing the best foundation

When choosing a foundation, you should be guided not by its cost, although this is an important detail, but first of all by the main characteristics of the product.

1. Individual skin type

This principle should be decisive when purchasing. It turns out that the composition of any foundation is focused primarily not on the shade of the skin of the face, but on its tendency to be oily or, conversely, dry. For example, in a cream for oily skin types you will not find oils, and a product for dry skin excludes alcohol among its ingredients.

1. Color palette

Of course, the color scheme of the chosen foundation should be based on your skin tone. According to the basic rules of cosmetology, you should choose a tone slightly lighter than natural to avoid unnaturalness. Although now “smart” tint products that independently adapt to skin color are very popular.

The consistency of foundation creams can be light, perfect for the summer season, or denser, with a high camouflage effect. Most often, manufacturers produce this product in the form of a liquid fluid, airy mousse or stick. The thicker the texture of the cream, the more coloring pigment it contains.

1. Additional features

Quite often, foundation has a wider range of capabilities than just masking or matting. You can, for example, find creams labeled “SPF” that protect against the harmful effects of sunlight. It is not uncommon now to find “foundations” with a lifting effect that tighten wrinkles.

Which brand of foundation should I choose?

Ubiquitous advertising has long penetrated the cosmetology market, stubbornly dictating which brand should be preferred. However, everything here is purely individual, because we are all different. According to the results of the popular vote, the majority of women highlight the high quality of foundations Sisley (France), Max factor (USA), L'Oreal (France). They are not inferior to them in their characteristics and Maybelline (USA), Bourjois (France) or Revlon (USA).
However, in the budget price category the domestic brand is in the lead "Freedom", which many women also highly rated in reviews and are not going to change it to Western brands.

Examples of products with excellent compositions that will not harm your skin.

One of the main disadvantages of conventional foundation creams is the reduced penetration of oxygen into the skin; such “protection” causes more problems than pleasure. Over time, the skin becomes dull, acquires an unhealthy shade, and becomes flabby.

In the composition of foundation creams, you should avoid harmful substances such as: animal fat, mineral oils, preservatives, talc and artificial dyes.

Natural creams contain an optimal combination of organic oils, extracts and color pigments, which will provide your skin with excellent nutrition and hydration throughout the day. Such creams do not create the effect of a thick mask on the face, the skin breathes freely, and the face glows with health.

Dado Sens foundation

A foundation that solves all problems: evens out color, tones, hides all problems, moisturizes. The cream does all this without any complaints such as flaking, pilling, greasy shine or stains - everything works great.

There is no smell, the dispenser is very convenient, the same as that of the more expensive Annemarie Boerlind analogue. A cool palette in which it is easy to choose your color and the cream adapts well.

Quite liquid - so consumption is minimal. This is not a light cream for every day, it is an excellent option when there are problems on the skin and as a “go-to” option, when makeup is visible, when the skin is perfect. Although I like the effect so much that I want to use it every day, I just think that during the day you can get by with bb, something lighter, for example the same daytime one from the same brand, which is in a white tube.

It’s so good when such a product that gives you an ideal face has a good composition, well, why use the mass market and chemistry at all when there is such an alternative? There is one “but” for those who are looking for a generally ideal composition - phenoxyethanol, but this is a long and controversial topic of the “harmfulness” of this component. The manufacturer claims that theirs is plant-based and undergoes thorough cleaning and they consider it safe, although they are still looking for an alternative and will soon replace it.

For me, this cream is now a must-have and there is no replacement for it yet, 5+

Dado Sens Powder Transparent

It turned out that the powder is not so transparent. It gives the face a shade lighter than its own and it is quite noticeable. Sometimes you want to whiten freckles, this is suitable for this.

Very loose. I tried to apply it with my favorite makeup brush (similar to the Wow Brush), but it didn’t work - the powder didn’t catch on my hair, so it didn’t stick to my face. The granules are large and in bright light it is noticeable that your nose is powdered, I don’t really like it and prefer more natural and unnoticeable makeup.

The box with powder is divided into 2 compartments - a mirror with powder on top and a large and convenient sponge at the bottom. I didn’t notice it right away, but my friends suggested it

BB Cream Lavera

The incredibly delicious, enchanting and very lasting smell of this foundation simply enchanted me.

I first tried to pick out the shade on my hand and it seemed to fit, but then it turned out that it was a little yellow (noticeable only in bright light). Otherwise, it’s just a great product! Masks fine wrinkles, skin unevenness (tested by a scar on the forehead), does not highlight flaking (if applied correctly), is not sticky and not greasy.

The consistency is optimal and blends very easily - no need to rub the skin and be afraid that streaks will be visible somewhere. I really liked it. In my next purchase from my favorite 4fresh, I will order a lighter shade and will be happy to use it.

It lasts well (I tried not to wash it off for 15 hours!), allows the skin to breathe and does not clog large pores. Some foundations make me itch in the evening and want to wash them off as quickly as possible, but this didn’t happen with this one. It washes off very easily with both soap and micellar water.

Dado Sens PurDerm Tinted Cream dark

Suitable for everyday makeup! This tone is only for those with dark skin, as it is quite dark, but there is also a light option. This is where the palette ends.

It evens out the color well, but it won’t hide any obvious imperfections, including dark circles under the eyes; for this you will need to combine it with a concealer.

The texture is of medium density, you need to smear it quite quickly until it is absorbed, after a couple of minutes it adapts to the color of the skin. The aroma is neutral.

Suitable for sensitive skin. Free of preservatives, animal extracts and silicone. Thanks to this composition, the skin underneath feels good and comfortable, there is no feeling in the evening that you want to wash everything off quickly, and it does not clog the pores.

An affordable price for a natural foundation - less than 1000 rubles, suitable for those who do not have any special skin problems and just need to even out the color.
