Foundation is a type
of makeup or cosmetic
preparation applied to the
face. Often referred to as
a "base", a foundation is
usually applied across the
whole of the face except the
eyes and lips. Its purpose it to
make skintone and skin
texture appear more even.
Foundations can be used to
cover up blemishes and other
imperfections, and some are
formulated to give a more
youthful appearance by
reducing the appearance of
wrinkles.
Foundations are usually sold
in the form of liquids, creams,
powder or mousses. They can
be applied with a sponge, a
foundation brush, or with the
fingers.
