What is the difference between foundation and make-up?

Make-up is a general term for decorative cosmetics — meaning everything that adds color to the face. This includes mascaralipstickpowderconcealer, and also foundation.

What is foundation used for?

Foundation is a type of coverage make-up that creates an even complexion. Small imperfections such as blackheads, pimples, and dark circles are concealed. With the right cosmetic product, even fine lines, enlarged pores, and redness can easily be covered.

Best foundation: finding make-up in the right shade

To make your skin glow, it’s important to first choose the perfect base. This chosen foundation serves as the basis for a flawless and even complexion. It’s essential to select a product that matches your skin tone. Ideally, test the make-up base directly on your face or neck.

The right texture: cream, powder, and liquid make-up

In our online shop, you’ll find a wide range of products in various shades — from BB creams to highly covering make-up.

Applying foundation: step-by-step guide

  • For a perfect make-up look, don’t forget to apply moisturizer first. Start by applying a hydrating face cream to clean skin. This step is especially important for dry skin to prevent the foundation from settling on rough areas.
  • Next, use a primer to help your make-up last longer.
  • Apply the foundation base with a suitable foundation brush, sponge, or your fingers.
  • After that, cover imperfections such as dark circles, redness, and blemishes with concealer.
  • Finally, set your make-up with a powder.
