A liquid, cream, or powder foundation is used to the face and neck to balance out the skin tone, conceal defects, and occasionally to alter the natural skin tone. Some foundations can also serve as a substrate for more sophisticated cosmetics or as a moisturiser, sunscreen, astringent, or moisturiser.
