Mineral - provide the perfect coverage, adjust to the skin tone, hiding all the flaws. Cream powder - guarantee maximum overlap of all defects. They can be used independently, without a tonal basis. Baked - make the skin satin, perfectly merge with the tone, align the texture.
2. Tint. Colorless are used for final fixation, fixing the means applied beforehand, and also, if necessary, imparting haze. Colored are selected individually for each woman. In addition to fixation, they give an additional shade, so they should be applied carefully so as not to overload the face. It is necessary to choose a tone to tone so that the mask effect does not occur.
3. Skin type. Be sure to consider what your skin is. For greasy it is preferable to powder, including matting components, removing excessive oily sheen. Powder containing tea tree oil and salicylic acid will provide greater resistance. For dry and combined, choose compact options with a fat content, as well as cream powder. If you like crumbly, then apply them only on top of moisturizer. Minerals and baked are best for the problem. They perfectly treat the skin and well conceal flaws in the form of pimples, redness, black spots and enlarged pores. But from the cream should be abandoned altogether, since they are too dense texture and can aggravate the inflammatory process. For sensitive, choose hypoallergenic powder with additional protective factors, for example, with high SPF. These are usually mineral variants.
