Foundation: How to Choose the Best One for Your Skin Type | Lumimi

Foundation – the base of every makeup routine

Foundation is one of the most important beauty products, as it determines the overall quality of your makeup look. The wrong foundation can emphasize imperfections, cause irritation, or create a heavy “mask” effect. That’s why it’s essential to choose a foundation suited to your specific skin type and needs.

Different Types of Foundations

1. Liquid foundation
The most versatile option, suitable for most skin types. It allows for layering and adjusting coverage. Especially recommended for dry and normal skin.

2. Compact foundation
Often has a powder-like texture that delivers a matte finish. Ideal for oily or combination skin, helping to reduce shine and ensuring longer wear.

3. Hybrid foundation (e.g., LUMIMI)
A new-generation solution that blends makeup with skincare. Hybrid foundations don’t just cover imperfections – they hydrate, soothe, and remain breathable. A great example is the LUMIMI foundation, designed for sensitive, problematic, or dry-prone skin.

How to Choose by Skin Type

• Oily skin – look for mattifying foundations with oil-control properties.

• Dry skin – choose hydrating, glow-enhancing formulas. Avoid strong mattifying textures.

• Sensitive skin – opt for fragrance-free, alcohol-free products enriched with soothing ingredients like panthenol or centella asiatica.
