How to choose the right foundation for your skin

Choosing the right foundation determines how natural and refined your makeup look appears.
With the right texture, undertone, and shade, you create a skin finish that looks like your own — only smoother and more radiant.

With these professional guidelines, our Beauty Experts help you find your perfect match faster.

Start by considering your skin type, undertone, and desired coverage. A foundation should feel comfortable and blend seamlessly into your skin.

Choose light coverage for a natural look, medium coverage for an even complexion, and full coverage for more correction. The best level of coverage depends on your skin and personal preference.

At Parfuma, Beauty Experts help you find the perfect match in shade, undertone, and finish. You can visit us in Antwerp, Hove, or at the Wijnegem Shopping Center.

Choose the right foundation shade

Always test foundation on your face or along your jawline.
Let the formula dry for a moment so you can see if it oxidizes.

Does the foundation become slightly darker after a few minutes?
If so, choose a shade that’s just a touch lighter for a natural-looking finish.

Which coverage and finish suit you best?

Alongside shade and skin type, the desired effect also plays a role.

Light coverage creates a fresh, natural look.
Medium to full coverage provides a more even complexion, especially for pigmentation or redness.

A glowy finish creates a healthy-looking radiance.
A matte finish appears more refined and long-lasting.
