Top Ten Makeup Foundations

top ten makeup foundations
Makeup foundations are one of the most popular cosmetics now-a-days. Do you know why? Well, they have travelled a long way from being bulky and unmanageable creams of the olden times when the choice range was very limited to being smooth formulations which not only even out the skin tone that you have but also conceal your blemishes and make your skin look healthier! In modern times, you have a whole range of choices. Whether you want a light mousse foundation or a protecting tinted moisturizer, a smudge-proof liquid foundation or a quick-drying cream-to-powder foundation, you have a variety of choices based on your skin-type, preferences and budget. This particular article of mine is the product of my research on the top brands which are well-liked for their makeup foundations. I hope you like my article and find it useful while making up your mind to invest in makeup foundations!
