Foundation vs. Tinted Serum: Which is best for you?

In the world of makeup and skincare, choosing between a foundation and a tinted serum can be confusing. Both have different benefits, and the right choice depends on your skin type and preferences.

Comparison of Makeup Base and Tinted Serum

As experts in the beauty field, we will help you understand the differences between these products and decide which one is best for you.

What is a makeup base ?

Foundation is a product used to even out skin tone, cover imperfections, and provide an even finish for the rest of your makeup. Depending on the formula, foundation can offer coverage ranging from light to full, allowing you to adjust the finish to your preferences.

What is a Tinted Serum ?

It's a tinted tint with light coverage and a luminous finish. Contains 1% hyaluronic acid that hydrates and nourishes the skin, evening out its tone. It helps diminish imperfections and provides a healthy, natural look. The innovative formula of Tinted Serum combines the benefits of a skincare serum with the radiance and coverage of a foundation.

  2. Lightweight Formula: Its lightweight texture makes it ideal for a natural and fresh look.
  3. Benefits: Its formula is ideal for increasing skin luminosity.

Which is more recommended for your skin type, Foundation or Tinted Serum ?

This will depend on your skin type. We'll explain this below.

Skin types

Oily skin:

  • Foundation : Choose an oil-free, matte, long-lasting foundation to control shine and keep your makeup looking its best all day.
  • Tinted Serum: Look for a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula with mattifying properties.

Dry skin:

  • Foundation: Choose a hydrating foundation with a luminous finish that won't accentuate dry areas.
  • Tinted Serum: Make sure the ingredients are hydrating for your skin.

Combination skin:

  • Makeup base: You can use a light foundation that controls shine in the T-zone and also helps keep your cheeks hydrated.
  • Tinted Serum: A satin finish is ideal to prevent your skin from drying out or becoming overly oily.

Final recommendations

In our experience, we've found that the choice between a foundation and a tinted serum depends largely on the context and specific skin needs.

For example, for a normal work day or a casual outing, we recommend using the Tinted Serum, as it has a light finish that allows you to create a natural and fresh look.

However, for more formal events or long days, you can opt for a medium-to-full coverage foundation that guarantees a long-lasting finish.

Makeup Base for Formal Events

Our Tinted Serum includes ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrate the skin. Alternatively, if you need more intense coverage, you can use 1St. Scene Foundation. Its fluid texture allows you to build it and maintain control over its coverage.

Both options have their own advantages and can be incorporated into your beauty routine depending on the occasion. Whether you prefer the versatile coverage of a foundation or the multifunctional benefits of a tinted serum, the most important thing is to choose products that suit your skin and make you feel confident and radiant.
