Types of Foundation Containers

There are a multitude of options available for foundation bottles, but these are the most common:

Squeeze bottle: Due to the plastic material, this is typically the most lightweight option for foundation bottles. Foundation is dispensed through squeezing the bottle, allowing the customer to easily control how much product they use.

Airless pump bottle: Innovative airless pump bottles preserve the integrity of the foundation by preventing air exposure, which also extends the shelf life of the product. Foundation is dispensed by pressing the pump, and a consistent amount is dispensed every time. We recommend airless foundation pumps as the best option.

Bottle with applicator: This foundation container comes with an applicator built into the twist-off bottle top. Foundation is dispensed by squeezing the applicator top while in the bottle, then twisting off the top and squeezing droplets from the stick applicator onto skin or another beauty tool. This is ideal for thinner formulas.

Basic twist cap: This classic option is dispensed by twisting off the cap and pouring foundation onto skin or another beauty tool.
