Foundation is an essential product in any cosmetic line. As the name suggests, it is the foundation on which the rest of the makeup is created. We all know the saying “If the foundation is not strong, the ground will shake” and the same goes for makeup.
Choosing the right foundation for your skin type and complexion can be a bit daunting. Also, it’s normal that the foundation you’ve been using for the past decade may no longer work for you. As we age and change (beauty changes), so do our skincare and makeup needs.
