We’re unapologetic lovers of makeup. On days when our skin takes a beating, we don’t see it as a downer. Instead, we just slather on some heavy coverage foundation and brave our day. Such is the power of makeup. While we certainly understand that skin care comes before makeup, our love affair with foundations has been a long-standing romance. But did you know that not every foundation type can be worn for any and every occasion? If you wish to know more on the different types of foundation and where you can wear them, read on...

When you’re on a day out and want your skin to feel feathery light...

If you’re going for brunch or even a shopping trip with the girls, make sure you opt for something that doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin. A day out means you’re going to be out in the open—you will need a base that covers your blemishes yet doesn’t feel like you’ve worn too much makeup on. You know, the less is more feel? For that we suggest you go with the Lakmé 9-5 Weightless Mousse Foundation that not only feels feathery light but also gives your skin the radiance you always yearned for. This foundation available in four shades—Beige Vanilla, Beige Caramel, Rose Ivory and Rose Honey.

When you’re running errands and want your makeup to stay matte...

A day of running errands can be a daunting task—from buying groceries, to meeting that friend you’ve been canning for a while to shopping for yourself. While many of you might argue that you’d rather step out without any makeup, we like to keep things pretty and prefer feeling our best even when we’re running errands. This is when you wish your makeup doesn’t move and stays matte despite the rise in temperatures. We suggest you go with the Lakmé 9-5 Flawless Matte Complexion Foundation that gives you a shine-free finish along with good coverage. Available in three shades like Marble, Pearl and Shell, this foundation is best if you want a natural yet matte finish.

When you’re dressing for a party and want your makeup with a hint of shine...

What’s a party without some illuminating makeup, right? When prepping for a party, we suggest you opt for a base that’s medium coverage and still adds that hint of radiance to your face. There are plenty of illuminating foundations to serve the purpose in the market but our fave one is the Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Foundation. This one promises to lend that subtle sheen to your face without making it look cakey. But while applying foundation, there’s only one big rule—blend perfectly till it disappears into your skin for a seamless finish. This foundation has four shades—Beige Glimmer, Honey Beam, Ivory Glow and Natural Flare that you can choose from according to your complexion.
