STYLE

IF YOU HAVE...oily and/or sensitive skin:

Use powder foundation. Any type of liquid or cream foundation will usually make your skin even oilier (especially in warm weather) and lead to breakouts. This compact powder foundation from Neutrogena is gentle and free from harsh additives that won’t irritate your sensitive skin. Bonus: It also absorbs excess oils, perfect for oily skin.

IF YOU HAVE...dry skin:

Use liquid foundation with built-in moisturizer. Covergirl’s All-Day Hydrating makeup is a winner.

IF YOU HAVE...uneven skin tone:
Try sheer foundations or tinted moisturizers, because they give subtle color coverage without caking up your face. This particular foundation is not only light and sheer, but also has SPF 20, giving you the healthy glow you need.

Cream or matte foundations tend to have the best coverage. Maybelline’s Dream Matte Mousse Foundation is lightweight but high-impact, giving you a super-smooth look.
