In makeup products there are two different types of bases: silicone based and water based. In this blog we will tell you which makeup products are which base and whether it is best to mix makeup products with different bases or not.
Ever had your makeup separate? It sucks right? This may be caused by mixing water based and silicone based makeup products. Things such as water based primers being used with silicone foundation can cause your foundation and makeup to separate and this is just one of the many examples.
Silicone makeup tends to be more long lasting along with being more sweat and oil resistant whereas water based is more natural and lightweight, but don't just use different bases for different makeup looks. Different based makeups may work better depending on your skin type. Silicone based makeup is better for oily and combination skin whereas water based makeup is better for dryer skin. Along with this, water based makeup tends to be better for acne-prone skin as it is less likely to clog up pores or cause irritation.
