Foundations

Is foundation good for skin?

Not all foundations are the same, so there is a different answer to this question based on the brand and formula. At Sisley Paris, we pride ourselves on having skincare-based makeup which beautifies the face while respecting your skin’s integrity. Our expertly crafted foundation has been designed to protect against pollution, moisturize the skin, and improve the skin’s natural radiance over time.

What are the different types of foundation makeup?

Foundation comes in many different formulas including liquid, cream and powder. However, the formula one chooses for their foundation depends on personal preferences as well as skin type. Sisley’s best-selling foundation Phyto-Teint Ultra Eclat is an oil-free liquid foundation that diminishes imperfections while revealing a radiant and flawless complexion. For lightweight coverage, Phyto-Teint Nude is an undetectable, ultra-natural foundation that will leave the complexion looking hydrated. For oily skin, we recommend reaching for Phyto-Poudre Compact which creates a smooth velvety base that does not leave a powdery residue.

How do you choose the right foundation for your skin type?

Choosing the right foundation based on your skin type will allow the product to look more natural on the skin. For oily skin, our experts here at Sisley Paris recommend reaching for a compact or powder foundation that won’t slip or streak like Phyto-Poudre Compact. Those with dry skin are encouraged to use a liquid or cream-based foundation such as Phyto-Teint Nude. Unlike powders, liquids and creams don’t tend to latch onto dry patches on the skin as easily. For mature skin, liquid foundations with a dewy finish are recommended as they will be less likely to look cakey and settle in fine lines and wrinkles. We recommend Sisleÿa Le Teint, a truly complete anti-aging fluid foundation.
