Your result
If you scored......
Mostly A's/Avoid oil
Foundations that contains oil can be bad for oily skin and it can cause your makeup to break down and slide off. An oil free liquid foundation with lightweight silicone that helps with pigments adhere but will not clog pores. A press powder with silica, the solid equivalent of silicone can be used to achieve the finishing touches.

Mostly B's/Go creamy
One can boost the skins hydration by using a rich anti-aging formula that contains moisturizing ingredients like glycerin. BB creams are packed with emollients, anti-aging, antioxidants and sunscreen in one tube, so it's a good choice.

Mostly C's/Lighten up
Being bless with low maintenance skinny one can wear any foundation. Sheer liquids with light-reflecting particles will give a believable finish while a tinted moisturizer that has enough pigment can even out the skin without being noticeable.  

Mostly D's/Correct and cover
If you have sensitive skin then mineral makeup is just for you. It contains skin soothers, such as zinc, free of potential irritants,  like fragrance and preservatives. To cover broken capillaries, redness, and discoloration a highly pigmented mineral formula is recommended. If loose powder is too messy for you then get a pressed powder.
