Surely you are already familiar with this complexion. Having accompanied women for quite a long time as a makeup base that can cover up imperfections on the face, foundation now has various types that have different textures and uses.
Foundation has a function to even out skin tone evenly on the face. Usually foundation has the highest full coverage compared to other types of complexion. The results given by foundation are more flawless and the texture is heavier than other complexions.
The texture types are liquid, balmy, creamy, and now there are even powder forms. However, in general, foundation has a liquid form. The content of foundation is usually more than other complexions.
2. Concealer.

Concealer is a type of complexion that will increase facial skin coverage. The point of use of concealer is usually according to each person's needs. However, in general concealer is used under the eyes to cover black eye bags or what are usually called panda eyes.
But apart from that, concealer itself now has the function of fading acne scars by providing coverage at certain points so that black spots can be disguised. Concealer can also function as a highlight in several points that you want to highlight, such as the T-zone or chin.
3. Cushions.

Cushion has lighter coverage than foundation. This complexion has a liquid texture with a function similar to foundation. Cushion aims to provide a basic color to the skin and cover imperfections on the face. However, the resulting coverage is not as high as foundation.
Cushion is more suitable for using simple and natural makeup, because its complexion is light. The difference is quite striking from foundation. The cushion has a simpler shape and is more comfortable to carry everywhere, because it is compact and equipped with a puff and glass.
4. Two-Way Cake.

Two-Way Cake and pressed powder are similar at first glance, but they both have different functions and coverage. Two way cake can function as a foundation because of its high coverage so it can disguise pores and even out skin tone.
Two way cake products can be said to be multifunctional makeup products. This product can function as a powder and at the same time can also function as a foundation. But of course coverage is not like foundation which was created to cover the full face so that all imperfections on the face can be covered.
This product is popular because it is suitable for everyday makeup because it is simpler and lighter. Without having to use foundation, pores can be covered by simply using a two-way cake.
5. Compact Powder.

Compact Powder's function is more to lock or set makeup, after using liquid complexions such as foundation. The shade and coverage are medium so it doesn't have a good function for covering blemishes on the face or acne scars on the face.
However, this product is suitable for natural makeup. This is of course because the coverage is very light so it is easy to remove and doesn't feel heavy on the face. Suitable for daily use, this product is one of the complexions that is rarely skipped in the makeup stage.
6. Skin Tint.

Having some similarities to foundation and cushion, skin tint provides light coverage. Another difference is the texture. The texture of skin tint tends to be much more fluid than foundation, so it gives a light impression when worn.
Because of its lighter texture, skin tint is suitable for producing makeup with a natural finish. Usually skin tint has a formula to make facial skin look more shiny and radiant compared to high coverage.
