Essens Foundations and Concealers are an essential part of any good make-up routine.
A Foundation is a powder, cream or liquid makeup which is applied to the face and neck to create an uniform, even colour to the complexion. It is intended to cover flaws and, occasionally, to change the natural skin tone. Some foundations also function as an astringent, sunscreen, moisturiser. Your foundation is designed to camouflage imperfections, but in a way that is much more natural looking so ideally your foundation should blend in naturally with your skin tone.
On the other hand a Concealer is designed to give maximum coverage for prominent marks like pigmentation, dark circles and blemishes.
Foundation formulations come in four basic forms. water-based, oil-based, water-free and oil-free. If you have dry skin it is usually best to use oil-based foundations however water-based forms can be adapted any skin type. Oily skin foundations use Oil-free formulations whereas where long-lasting purposes such as camouflage or theatrical uses are required water-free formulations are used.
All Foundations have some colouring material so that the natural colour of the skin can be enhanced. To cover blemishes such as freckles often talc or other powdery materials are used as they help give good coverage.
Foundations can be produced in many forms such as liquids, mousses, creams, solid powder and sticks. Those that contain moisturisers are more beneficial to dry skin during the winter and some foundations contain sunscreens and are more beneficial during the summer months.
