Face Makeup Foundation

Foundation is the base on which every look is built: it defines the skin's texture, evens out the complexion, and determines the longevity of the entire makeup. With over 2900 selected references, Qathu's foundation makeup collection gathers formulas, finishes, and coverages for every skin type and occasion. Whether you are looking for a luminous base for the day or long-lasting wear for the evening, you will find the right product for every need here.

How to choose the foundation that suits you best

The first criterion is skin type: oily or combination skin benefits from oil-free formulas with a matte or satin finish, capable of controlling shine over time. Dry skin, on the other hand, does better with hydrating bases that have a luminous or satin finish, which do not accentuate any dry areas. For sensitive or reactive skin, it is useful to lean towards dermatologically tested formulas, with essential ingredients and fragrance-free. The second criterion is coverage: light for those who want to enhance their natural skin, medium to even out redness and small imperfections, and high for those who need more intense coverage. A common mistake is to choose the shade only on the wrist: the shade should be tested along the jawline, in natural light, to ensure a perfect blend with the neck. Also pay attention to the final finish: a luminous foundation on oily skin can appear excessively shiny after a few hours, while a mattifying one on dry skin can look flat. Always consider the season as well: in summer, lighter and heat-resistant formulas are preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between liquid and compact foundation?

Liquid foundation generally offers greater buildability of coverage and is more suitable for daily application. Compact foundation is more practical for touch-ups on the go and usually provides a more structured hold.

How do you correctly apply foundation?

The technique greatly affects the result: using fingers achieves a natural skin effect; a flat brush provides more even coverage; a damp sponge gives a melting and lightweight finish. The base is always applied from the center of the face outwards.

Is primer essential before foundation?

It is not mandatory, but it significantly improves wear and evens out the skin's surface. On enlarged pores or imperfections, primer helps the foundation adhere more evenly and lastingly.
