Fluid foundation for oily skin reviews

Among the products used daily, a very practical product has appeared - foundation fluid. It makes self-care more comfortable and faster. And at the same time, the skin not only receives a variety of vitamins and nutrients, but also acquires a uniform tone without the effect of a mask.

What is a tonal fluid?

If literally every woman is familiar with foundation (cream), then the incomprehensible prefix “fluid” can clearly be confusing. In order not to get confused in the concepts, you can immediately reveal the intrigue: the fluid is a representative of a group of creams that have a lightweight formula (less fat, more natural ingredients).

Regular fluids are absorbed quickly, in a matter of seconds, without requiring the additional use of day/night cream. But foundation fluid is a good start for makeup of any complexity and purpose, since the pigments it contains will mask all the unevenness and imperfections.

These products are great for girls over 18 years old who have the following skin problems:

1. combination skin with a prominent oily sheen (the ideal option is foundation cream fluids that are designed specifically for this type of skin);
2. dry skin with flaking (fluids moisturize the skin, do not emphasize flaking, giving the face a healthy glow);
3. normal skin (delicate texture will provide a light coverage, which will become the basis for continuing makeup);
4. owners of oily skin (they should choose a fluid specifically for oily skin and not use universal ones in order to get rid of the intense production of sebum and eliminate oily shine on the skin);
5. women with any skin type, but with the aim of evening out the complexion and simultaneous rejuvenation (special anti-aging products are selected).

It is not recommended to use foundation fluids for those who have skin diseases and allergic rashes. Also, you should not use several products of the same type in one skin care session: fluid, essences, fatty creams, etc.

How to use?

A popular method for applying any type of foundation is with a sponge or brush. At home, they are often replaced with a simple cotton pad. But this application option is not suitable for foundation fluid for the following reasons:

1. excessive waste of product;
2. Difficulties in uniform distribution over the skin.

Since almost all products in small bottles are equipped with a convenient dispenser, it is easy to apply it simply with your fingers.

1. Before using the product, you should thoroughly cleanse your skin. This can be any product you like: cleansing lotion, face wash or milk, etc.
2. Squeeze out a couple of drops of the product, place a dot on the forehead, one drop at a time on the cheekbones, chin, and nose.
3. Blend the product evenly over your face without rubbing it (this can be done first with your fingertips, then with a brush).
   
   
   
   

If necessary, it is worth applying a second layer of the product, paying attention to problem areas. To get a more perfect result, you should use a corrector in these areas.

1. After waiting a few minutes, continue doing the planned makeup.

In order to follow all instructions for applying the product as accurately as possible, it is worth studying the information on the packaging. This is due to the fact that some cosmetic companies recommend using foundation on a previously moisturized face. Then you will need additional steps before applying the product: apply a thin layer of moisturizing cream to cleansed skin, wait until it is completely absorbed, and then use foundation.

How to choose: review of brands

Cosmetic companies are expanding their range of foundation fluids. This is how products appeared that protect the skin from external factors, give a light matte finish, and after that the face becomes simply perfect. But it’s not so easy to choose exactly your product, which will become not just a foundation, but also a means for healing the skin from the inside.

Also, among cosmetic products, foundation fluids have appeared in a radically new interpretation: instead of a light liquid, there are compact foundation fluid powders and pencils.

Branded products are quite expensive. In order not to make a mistake when choosing a tonal fluid, you can first purchase a trial version of the product (miniature, probe, tester). The quantity in the sachet is usually enough for a couple of uses. This number of applications is enough to determine whether the foundation is suitable or not.

Vichy

The brand has developments in the field of combining fluid with pigments, the series is called Dermablend. The product can be selected from several basic shades, for example, Opal (opal), Vanilla (flesh), Nude (sand). The share of pigment in the product is ¼.

The consistency of the product is quite thick, the foundation fluid thoroughly covers the skin. Designed to effectively hide even the most obvious skin imperfections. The makeup on the face looks impressive, without the appearance of imperfections. The product should be blended to avoid the contours of the foundation fluid.

Chanel

Elite French cosmetics from Chanel have created their own unique product - a foundation fluid with a sun protection filter SPF 25. Les Beiges products have expanded the choice of the required shade. There are 14 of them in total.

The product has a liquid consistency, is evenly distributed over the surface of the face, does not create the feeling of a mask, and does not leave contours. To achieve a healthy glowing effect, you need to choose a product in a tone that is lighter than your skin tone. To create the most natural effect, it is better to purchase a tone-on-tone foundation fluid.

Lancome

For convenient use of foundation fluid, the Lancome brand, following the example of Korean cosmetology companies, created its own version of the product - in the form of compact powder (cushion). The product itself does not look like the usual dry powder. Inside the package there is a sponge soaked in fluid. You can apply it to the skin using an applicator disc.

In addition to the ideal tone, the Lancome Miracle Cushion product takes care of additional effects for the skin: deep hydration, brightening, toning, sun protection (SPF 23).

The palette includes more than 15 shades of foundation fluid, this allows you to choose the tone that best suits your skin color.

A non-standard approach to the form of fluid release - a foundation stick. Blend Stick HypoAllergenic is a lightweight pencil product that masks skin imperfections, adapts to the tone of the face as much as possible, and is almost invisible if you blend it well with a sponge, finger or brush. The main advantage is that the product is not allergenic.

But the effect of the pencil is not as long-lasting as its liquid counterparts. The product is best used as a makeup correction during the day; after application, it will ideally last on the skin for about a couple of hours. Suitable for any skin type, after 18 years. Ease of use makes it possible to pay more attention to problem areas, creating a denser layer there.

Available in 5 shades of pencil. The volume of 6.5 g is enough for a long time so that you can not only use the pencil as a primary or additional means for correction.

Juvena

The elite Swiss brand offers complete skin care for women aged 18+, and will also give the face a seductive light tan of a bronze hue. The Delining Tinted Fluid foundation smoothes the skin and protects from the sun thanks to the SPF 10 filter. The components of the product not only saturate the dermis, but also stimulate self-renewal - the production of elastin and collagen.

The fluid will suit almost any skin tone in its tone, after receiving at least a minimal tan. To thoroughly disguise skin imperfections, it is better to use additional corrective products.

Mattifying foundation fluid for oily and combination skin Bielenda Matt make-up Academie foundation: reviews, or the story of the ideal tone

I do not hide the fact that I am a fan of this Polish brand of professional cosmetics. With her help, I was able to solve many skin problems - both to maintain youth and to improve their health. Therefore, I learned with great joy: Belenda also produces decorative products!

Here he is, the hero of today's material:

I have light shade 1. This is how it looks on paper:

And after removing makeup, I notice that the skin becomes smoother and more uniform. And for good reason - after all, the list of ingredients contains vitamins. So this mattifying foundation fluid Bielenda Matt make-up also takes care of the skin. Let's look at the composition:

And finally, swatches. This is what Bielenda Matt make-up looks like in makeup. The foundation is applied to the face, but not to the neck:

For its effectiveness, excellent matting, evenness of skin tone and caring components in the composition, this product deserves the highest rating.

thanks for the feedback) but what about the overlap of the shadows under the eyes? and what about the choice of shade?

Irina, thank you very much for your question! I do not apply foundation on my eyelids under any circumstances. These products are too heavy for the delicate and thin skin of the eyelids, which can lead to problems - the formation of wrinkles, for example. Well, this foundation is for oily skin, and the skin of the eyelids is usually dry. So there is no point in experimenting. It should be used on the face.

I also don’t use liquid correctors (concealers) for the eyelids - although they are intended for camouflage, they flow into the creases and emphasize them. I disguise dark circles in another way - with the help of dry shadows. Here is the link where I described it: now, at the moment, my circles have practically gone away.

As for the choice of shades. That is, 1, 2, 3. The 2nd, as I understand it, is for medium skin, the 3rd is for dark skin. Regarding the light one - it adapts to the natural shade (as you can see in the photo: I didn’t specifically tint my neck to make swatches). So you can’t go wrong if you order))))

Girls, hello everyone!

In the fall, the question of choosing a foundation suddenly became urgent, although I had always used only powder. Now the skin is not in the best condition, so better camouflage is required. Initial data: blackheads, rashes, I start to “shine” by 10:30 in the morning (and the working day starts at 9:00), sometimes the skin on the cheeks is dry. Requirements for a foundation: preferably water-based (as I understand it, this is best for oily skin), not very dense (so as not to turn into a person with a mask on his face), but with good coverage, so as to smooth out the relief of the face as much as possible (with this is also a small problem now), did not emphasize peeling, and was as light as possible (I am snow white). I know that the requirements are almost impossible to fulfill, but what if such a thing exists?
