Understanding textures: cream, serum, powder, stick, or BB cream?
The texture of a foundation makes all the difference:
- A cream is rich and comfortable, perfect for coverage.
- A serum is lightweight for a natural look.
- A powder controls shine.
- A stick is the versatile champion—dense and handy.
- A BB cream is a hybrid skincare-makeup product for evening skin tone.
Full coverage and perfecting foundations
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH cream foundation: total coverage without a heavy feel
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH cream foundation was created for those seeking flawless coverage.
Its texture is surprisingly lightweight despite its pigmentation. It effortlessly conceals redness and spots. The finish is satin, very “skin-like”, not at all cakey.
I specifically recommend it for dry or mature skin.
Its hydrating formula is a real plus. It doesn’t settle into fine lines, which is something I truly appreciate.
My tip: apply it with a damp sponge for an even more seamless and natural finish. It’s a real favorite for days when you want flawless skin.
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH stick foundation: the Swiss Army knife of your makeup bag
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH stick foundation is the go-to product for busy, organized women.
Its format is extremely practical for quick application or touch-ups throughout the day. The coverage is adjustable, ranging from medium to full. You can apply it directly on the face.
Its versatility is amazing. It serves as a foundation but also as a very precise concealer. You can even use a darker shade for easy and quick contouring.
It works well for normal to combination skin thanks to its velvety finish that doesn’t feel greasy. It’s truly the smart product to always have on hand.
Light options for a natural, radiant complexion
If, like me, you also love more natural finishes for everyday wear, Younique has thought of us too, with two very interesting options.
YOUNIQUE TOUCH serum foundation: the skincare that enhances your skin
Are you looking for the perfect balance between makeup and lightness? The YOUNIQUE TOUCH serum foundation literally blends with your skin.
It evens out your complexion with a sheer finish. It’s that famous “my skin but better” effect we all love.
Let’s talk benefits because this is where it gets really interesting for our skin. It hydrates thanks to sodium hyaluronate and protects against the harmful effects of blue light from our screens. It’s a true protective skincare action.
Perfect if you hate feeling product on your face. It delivers a fresh, natural look without any oxidation.
BARE·YOU BB cream: daily hydration and radiance
The YOUNIQUE BARE·YOU tinted hydrating BB cream+ is the ultimate pick-me-up for tough mornings.
It applies a tinted veil that softly blurs small imperfections. The texture doesn’t hide the skin’s natural texture. Its main strength remains this bright, dewy finish.
I emphasize its protective and moisturizing qualities, essential for maintaining healthy skin. With its SPF 30, it shields us from the sun while keeping comfort intact. This is non-negotiable for me.
It’s my number one choice for relaxed weekends. It evens out, hydrates, and protects: the perfect trio for radiant skin.
The mattifying solution
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH pressed powder foundation: the ally for combination to oily skin
Tired of shining by the end of the day? The YOUNIQUE TOUCH pressed powder foundation is the perfect answer for skin that tends to shine.
Its clean talc-free formula uses kaolin to absorb excess oil. Silica ensures a matte yet radiant finish, never cakey.
I apply it alone for light coverage or over another foundation to set it. Its case with built-in sponge is just perfect for touch-ups. It’s the handy tool to stay flawless.
It’s a must-have for combination to oily skin. No more shine in the T-zone! Forum reviews show that many brides-to-be highly recommend it for its lasting hold.
How to choose the right Younique foundation shade without making a mistake?
Buying online can be intimidating, but the trick is to determine your skin’s undertone. Look at the veins on your wrist:
- If they appear bluish, your undertone is cool.
- If they look greenish, your undertone is warm.
- If it’s a mix of both, you’re probably neutral.

FAQ
What are the overall opinions on Younique foundations?
Feedback is often very positive, and for good reason: the brand has created a line that does more than just cover.
What we appreciate (myself included!) is this blend of makeup and skincare.
Whether it’s the BB cream or the serum foundation, reviews often highlight the lightweight textures that let the skin breathe while providing long-lasting wear. This is makeup that respects the skin’s surface, and we totally approve of that.
How to choose the Younique foundation that’s right for me?
It all depends on your skin type and the finish you’re looking for.
If you have dry skin and want a natural “glowy” effect, go for the BARE·YOU BB cream or the serum foundation.
On the other hand, if your T-zone tends to get shiny (combination skin team), the TOUCH compact powder will be your best mattifying ally.
For those who want to cover more pronounced imperfections, the cream or stick formats will be perfect thanks to their buildable coverage.
Which is the “best” foundation in the Younique range?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but if I had to pick a little gem, it would be the TOUCH serum foundation. Why? Because it’s hybrid. It evens out your complexion while protecting your skin from blue light and keeping it hydrated.
It’s truly the modern must-have product: lightweight, effective, and good for your skin’s health. It’s the perfect balance for those who want to wear makeup without feeling like they’re wearing anything.
Which Younique foundation should you choose to avoid emphasizing wrinkles and fine lines?
This is often a big worry as we age a bit or if our skin feels dehydrated.
Here, the TOUCH cream foundation is an excellent choice. Its formula is moisturizing and offers a satin finish that smooths the skin instead of settling into lines. It’s specifically designed not to settle into creases or pores.
The result: a fresh, even complexion without that “heavy” effect that can sometimes age the face.
