“Foundation” may no longer be used as an umbrella term in today’s age of BB creams and tinted moisturizers; its usage has since become less relevant as these traditional makeup products have evolved with skin-loving ingredients that hydrate while giving an “airbrushed effect,” unlike their thicker, weighted predecessors from our mother and grandmother’s time that appeared thick, heavy and cakey.
So what defines a foundation makeup product? Foundations typically come with medium to full coverage options, making them suitable for special events, photoshoots or everyday use when covering acne scars or discolorations on the surface of skin. Foundations work more like sunscreen than skincare in that regard whereas BB creams and tinted moisturizers act like skincare with added coverage; although, as seen below there are foundations which still contain skincare components! With that information under your belt here are a few excellent foundations from Target with great coverage at an outstanding price tag: BB Cream by Clinique
