Cream based Make-Up Foundations
All about cream-based make up foundations
A foundation makeup is, as the name states, the primary makeup for the face. Foundations smooth your skin, hide blemishes. scars, and other irregularities, and even out skin tones. In addition, they serve as bases for blushes and eye makeup.
Since the main purposes of foundations are to cover up an,smooth, the active ingredients of any foundation are its pigments, and moisturizers. In fact, foundations are simply moisturizers towhich pigments (colors) have been added. Oil-free makeups contain synthetic lubricants instead of heavier natural oils such as petrolatum, mineral oil, vegetable oils, or lanolins. Water-based foundation makeups use oil-in-water moisturizer formulations, and oil-based foundations use water-in-oil formulations.
Water-based products are less likely to clog pores and are preferable for people with acne-prone skin. Unfortunately, they tend to run easily. Oil-based foundations, on the other hand, are thicker, more moisturizing, and tend to be either water-resistant or waterproof. Water-resistant makeup lasts about eight hours and won't run or streak during periods of intense perspiration or high humidity. Waterproof makeups tend to be even oilier than the water-resistant ones and usually can even withstand a half hour of swimming. People with dry or aging skin should opt for these creamier kinds of foundations.
Iron oxides, ultramarine blue, and FD&C colors are examples of pigments commonly used in foundations. Pearlizers (such as bismuth oxychlorzde), which are added to cosmetics to create a shimmering effect, may be found in some foundations. Magnesium aluminum silicate, talc, clays, and kaolin may be added to impart a matte finish to the foundation and to bring the pigments to the exact color desired. These ingredients are particularly important for muting the oily appearance of creamier foundations.
