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.
- The serum is fluid for a natural effect.
- The powder mattifies shine.
- The stick is the versatile champion—dense and practical.
- The BB cream is a hybrid skincare-makeup product that evens out the complexion.
Full coverage and perfecting foundations
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH cream foundation: total coverage without the heavy feel
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH Cream Foundation was designed for those seeking flawless coverage.
Its texture is surprisingly light 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 bonus. It doesn’t settle into fine lines, which is something I especially appreciate.
My tip: apply it with a damp sponge for an even more seamless and natural finish. It’s a true favorite for days when you want a flawless complexion.
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH stick foundation: the Swiss army knife of your makeup bag
The YOUNIQUE TOUCH stick foundation is the product for busy and organized women.
Its format is extremely convenient for quick application or touch-ups during the day. The coverage is adjustable, ranging from medium to full. You can apply it directly to your face.
Its versatility is amazing. It works as a foundation but also as a very precise concealer. You can even use a darker shade for quick and easy 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 with you.
Light options for a natural and radiant complexion
If, like me, you also love more natural finishes for everyday wear, Younique has created two very interesting options for us.
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 unifies with sheer transparency. It’s the famous “better skin” effect that 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 blocks the harmful effects of blue light from our screens. It truly provides a protective skincare action.
Perfect if you hate feeling product on your face. It ensures a fresh and natural look without oxidizing.
The BARE·YOU BB cream: hydration and radiance for every day
The tinted moisturizing BB cream+ YOUNIQUE BARE·YOU is the perfect pick-me-up when mornings are tough.
It lays down a tinted veil that blurs small imperfections. The texture does not mask the skin’s natural texture. Its main asset remains this very luminous “dewy” finish.
I emphasize its protective and moisturizing qualities, essential for preserving skin health. With its SPF 30, it shields us from the sun while maintaining comfort. This is non-negotiable for me.
It’s my top choice for relaxed weekends. It evens out, hydrates, and protects: the winning 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 prone to shine.
Its clean talc-free formula uses kaolin to absorb sebum. Silica ensures a matte yet luminous finish, never cakey.
I apply it alone for light coverage or over another foundation to set it. Its case with a 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 choose it for its lasting wear.
How to choose your Younique foundation shade without mistakes?
Buying online can be intimidating, but the trick is to determine your skin 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 likely neutral.

FAQ
What are the general opinions on Younique foundations?
Feedback is often very positive, and for good reason: the brand has developed a range that does more than just cover up.
What we appreciate (myself included!) is this combination of makeup and skincare.
Whether it’s the BB cream or the serum foundation, reviews often highlight the light textures that allow the skin to breathe while providing long-lasting wear. This makeup respects the skin barrier, and we absolutely 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 conceal more pronounced imperfections, the cream or stick format will be perfect thanks to their buildable coverage.
What is the “best” foundation in the Younique range?
There isn’t a 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 a hybrid. It evens out the complexion while protecting the skin from blue light and keeping it hydrated.
It truly is the ultimate modern product: lightweight, effective, and good for your skin’s health. It’s the perfect compromise for those who want to wear makeup without feeling like they have anything on.
Which Younique foundation should you choose to avoid emphasizing wrinkles and fine lines?
This is often a concern as we get a little older or if the skin is 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 locking features in place. It’s specially designed not to settle into creases or pores.
The result: a unified, fresh complexion without that “texture” effect that can sometimes age the face.
