What kind of foundation should I use?

Here are some different forms of foundation:

Mineral Powder: It provides medium to full coverage and also contains vitamins and minerals to help treat the skin and is simple to apply with a brush. Suitable for oily to normal skin. Choose your Mineral Powder Foundation here.

Pressed Powder: It is low in oils and doesn't clog pores. Applied with a brush, it gives you sheer coverage. Applied with a sponge, it gives you more coverage. Applied with a damp sponge, it gives you even more complete coverage. Sheer Mineral Pressed Powder

Creme to Powder: It has a creamy texture that dries to a powder finish. These formulas are kinder to oily skin because the powder helps cut down on excess shine. Mary Kay Creme to Powder Foundation

Tinted Moisturizer: It is actually a moisturizer with a little color added. It is the sheerest of all the foundations. Perfect for women who who feel like wearing next to nothing. Try Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 20

Liquid Foundation: It is the most readily found and is suited to most skin types. When applied, it gives you more coverage than a tinted moisturizer but less than a creme foundation. Mary Kay Medium Coverage Foundation provides stay-true, stay-put color and controls excess oil for up to eight hours.

Stick Foundation: It is essentially a neatly packaged creme foundation and concealer in one. Best for normal to dry skin, it is a good option for women who want more coverage, but it can look a little heavy on clear skin.
