What is Complexion Make Up? Identify Its Types and Choose the Right One!

Implovers, have you ever felt like your makeup is complete, but the results still lackluster? Well, it could be that one thing that is often overlooked is complexion makeup.
Yups, complexion makeup is the foundation or base of all makeup. Without a neat base, no matter how good your eyeshadow or lipstick is, the result will be less than optimal. With the right use of complexion makeup, the look becomes more cohesive, long-lasting, and crack-free, suitable for both a casual daily look and a bold statement at special events. So, let's delve into this makeup without leaving any questions unanswered.

What is Complexion Make Up?
Implovers, complexion is simply a series of products that work to even out skin tone and conceal imperfections. Imagine your facial skin as a blank canvas. Well, this is where complexion makeup prepares that canvas before applying other makeup.
In addition to evening out the skin tone, this product can also provide specific effects as needed: a fresh dewy look, a radiant glow, or a clean matte finish. Its texture varies from liquid, cream, cushion, to powder. So, it can be tailored to different skin types and makeup styles.
In essence, good complexion = strong base = flawless makeup from morning to night.

Types of Complexion Make Up You Need to Know

1. Foundation
Foundation is the most common product in the complexion makeup category. Its function is to even out the skin tone with customizable coverage, from light to full.
Available in various formulas such as liquid, cream, and stick with a matte finish, satin, or dewy finish. One option to try is the Implora Even Better Liquid Foundation, formulated with extracts of Pearl, Caviar, Collagen, and Aloe Vera to maintain moisture throughout the day. Its lightweight and buildable formula help blur pores, blemishes, and uneven skin tone with a natural and matte finish.

2. Concealer
If foundation is the first layer, concealer is the second savior. This product has higher coverage and a thicker texture, ideal for covering acne scars, stubborn spots, or dark circles under the eyes. Bonus: concealer can also brighten and freshen the under-eye area.
 
3. Cushion
Want a practical and hassle-free complexion? Cushion is the answer. Compact in shape with a built-in sponge applicator, lightweight texture, and a natural dewy finish, perfect for touch-ups during the day.
For those with dry, combination, or normal skin types, Implora Healthy Glow Cushion can be your go-to choice. Its coverage ranges from light to medium, making the face look healthy and glowing all day without feeling heavy on the skin.
 
4. Skin Tint
If you're team "less is more", skin tint is the right choice. Its coverage ranges from sheer to medium, with a lightweight texture and a very natural effect. This product highlights the natural beauty of the skin while providing a healthy and glowing look. Many skin tints also come with SPF or skincare ingredients for added convenience!
 
5. Two Way Cake
Two way cake is a versatile compact powder that can be used dry or wet. Its coverage ranges from medium to full, but it blends easily and doesn't make the face look cakey.
Implora Day to Day Two Way Cake is suitable for all skin types. Its lightweight, moisturizing formula has good oil control capabilities. Plus, it has a blurring effect that conceals pores and fine lines, as well as long-lasting oil-free wear.

6. Setting Powder
Setting powder is often a skipped final step, yet its function is super important: to lock in foundation and concealer for long-lasting wear. It has a smooth and lightweight texture, available in translucent or tinted versions. Also suitable for baking technique under the eyes to appear brighter and cleaner.

7. BB/CC Cream
Love multitasking products? BB and CC creams could be the choice. They combine makeup and skincare functions in one product. BB cream focuses more on moisture and light coverage, while CC cream excels in color correction. Both are suitable for a natural, fresh, and effortless look.

Tips for Choosing the Right Complexion Make Up
To avoid choosing the wrong one, pay attention to these three things, Implovers!

1. Match it with your skin type
Oily skin? Choose a complexion with a matte finish. Dry or combination skin? Cushion or dewy-textured skin tint could be a more comfortable and flattering choice.

2. Know your skin undertone
The suitable shade is not just about light-dark, undertone is also important! Check the color of the veins on your wrist: green means warm, blue means cool, a mix of both means neutral. Choose the right product for a more natural look on your skin.

3. Determine the needed coverage level
Full coverage is suitable for covering blemishes or deep acne scars. For daily activities, sheer or medium coverage is enough to even out skin tone without feeling heavy.

Now just choose the product that suits your skin needs, and make good complexion your main weapon for daily makeup. Keep glowing, Implovers!
