A foundation is a base makeup product used to create an even skin tone and to provide a smooth canvas for the application of additional makeup. Some foundations can be worn alone while others are used in tandem with additional makeup products. A product to keep your face looking flawless, a foundation has three basic parts – coverage, finish, and undertone.

Whether you are just starting to dabble in makeup or you are a professional, finding the right foundation can be a challenge. Finding the right color match and ingredients can take time, but women of color want their foundation to improve the look their skin, not cover it.
