Foundation Coverage Levels

Foundation Coverage Levels with Beauty Berry Foundation Picks for Each Type

No full face of makeup is complete without the right foundation and choosing the right foundation is not an easy task. Apart from the formulas (liquid, powder or mousse), you should also consider the coverage level of the foundation. The skin coverage is divided into 3 major categories: sheer, medium and full coverage. But with foundations labelled as ‘pro-coverage’, ‘sheer coverage’ or ‘high coverage,’ it is very confusing to find the foundation face makeup, especially if you are a beginner. 

Finding the right foundation coverage not only enhances your complexion but also ensures comfort, confidence and a natural finish all throughout the day. In this blog, we will define the coverage levels and Beauty Berry’s favorite foundation picks based on coverage levels. 

Sheer Coverage Level

Sheer or light foundation coverage level offers very light, true-to-skin and natural coverage. This gives you a natural finish and covers pigmented areas or light acne marks on your face for an even finish. The formula is lightweight and blends easily without making your face look cakey. 

Sheer/Light Foundation Coverage is Best For:

  • People with clear/even skin
  • Those who prefer “no-makeup” look
  • Everyday wear

Which Foundation Coverage Is Best?

There is no one foundation coverage suiting everyone’s skin concerns and makeup needs. Identify the type of makeup look you are looking to achieve and select foundation based on it. Beauty Berry face foundations are your go-to option for your desired coverage level. The method of foundation blending also plays a major role in getting the desired coverage, so keep switching between a sponge and a foundation brush while applying foundation. 

FAQs About Foundation Coverage

Q.1 Can you use different coverage foundations for different areas of the face?
