Foundation is something I wear pretty much everyday, but talk about very little here. I'm pretty fussy when it comes to foundation, I like good wear time, good coverage, a not too matte but not too dewy finish, something that looks natural and something that doesn't feel heavy on my skin. Not too much to ask, hey?
My go to foundation, if I want good coverage, good wear time and a nice natural finish is the Max Factor Facefinity Foundation (this is the same as the Cover Girl 3in1 Outlast Foundation). I know that this is a perfect colour match, really good coverage, but also really natural looking. This is the one foundation I absolutely couldn't be without in my collection.
A runner up in terms of coverage is the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation, a good medium coverage foundation that I love the finish of, it's not dewy but it gives a natural glow to the skin and just looks really healthy.
The YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation is one I've been loving for well over a year now. This is definitely the 'glowiest' of these bases, it's definitely my personal preference to powder the t-zone when I reach for this foundation, but I love the glow this gives my cheeks. It's a medium but buildable coverage, and it can be sheered out too, so it's really versatile. It doesn't wear as well as the previous two foundations, but with a primer it'll last the day.
The new foundation love in my life is the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, which I penned an ode to here quite recently. It's so light on the skin, it doesn't feel like you're wearing makeup, but it has a good medium coverage, which is pretty impressive. Like the YSL offering, the wear time alone isn't great, but paired with a primer it's fine. I just love the finish of it, it just looks like skin!
And lastly, an old favourite that still impresses me is the Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation. This gives medium but buildable coverage, and a nice almost matte, but glowy finish. I always get told how healthy my skin looks when I wear this.
What are your favourite foundations?
Ugh I need that Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in my life. Nothing else will do!! T xx

ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I'd describe it, so reliable! I like double wear but now that my skin is less oilier than my teenage years, it's just too heavy for me!
