When I first really fell in love with makeup,
I was only around 12 years old after getting an iPod touch and watching far too
many gurus on YouTube. The product that amazed me more than anything else was foundation.
I think it was because as a 12 year old with more freckles than I cared to
mention, I was desperate to get my hands on some foundation and paint it thick on
my face so that you could no longer see all of my freckles. I think that it was
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse that started the obsession and from there I began
to branch out and try so many different brands. In this blog post I thought
that I would do a round up and let you know why some of my favourites are in
the top spot and what makes them better than others that I have used…
Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation
This really is my all-time favourite foundation
and I have no idea how many times I have mentioned this on the internet in
recent years. This is a lightweight foundation and blends into the skin like a
dream. This product really does hide absolutely everything on the skin and makes
me feel like a newborn baby with super perfect skin. I have tried other
foundations from Nars, but it is always this that I come back to and buy over and
over again. This truly is a lovely product that I know will never fail me and
look good all day long.
Cover FX Total Cover Crème Foundation
I feel like this product does not get even
half as much positive press as it should. I bought this after trying the Cover
FX Crème Contour palette and falling completely head over heels in love with
the formula of the creams and how they blended into the skin, it was only
logical that I try the corresponding foundation. This is an item that I keep in
my handbag at all times just in case I have a full-blown makeup meltdown and I need
to touch up my coverage or hide any scary imperfections!
Too Faced Born This Way Foundation
I can remember first trying this
foundation when I first started up my blog and even though I used and liked the
entire bottle, it was not something that I was desperate to run out and get
another bottle. I repurchased this after Jackie Aina did her collab with them
and I wanted to show some support and I went and bought a bottle. I find that
this is just a great foundation for an everyday basis. I know that it can cover
well, while still making my skin look natural and lovely and my other favourite
items are going to pair really well.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Foundation
If I want to hide my skin away completely and
go for nothing but 100% coverage, it is the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood
Flawless Foundation that I will reach for without hesitation. The level of
coverage that I get from this foundation when applied with a dense brush seems to match up to the old Marc
Jacobs ‘Remarcable’ Foundation that was like pure pigment in a bottle, without
all of the negatives that I had with this product. This hides my pigmentation
damage with no quibbles, my freckles are gone, and other products apply on top
like a dream.
Maybelline 24Hour Super stay Foundation
This is the only drugstore foundation that
I am going to talk about, and it really does deserve a place in the top spot because
it has penetrated my high-end loving walls. I think it was somebody on
Instagram that I saw using this so many times and above all else it was the
shade of this product that stood out to me the most. I just think that the shade
range that they have in this foundation is absolutely brilliant and the
undertone of them seem to match me almost perfectly. This is my ideal everyday
foundation for work.
These are all some of my favourite
products and I absolutely adore the way that they look on the skin and that is
why I continue to use them time and time again. There was a period in time
where I had almost 50 different foundations in my collection, but after sitting
down and really thinking about the products that I use and repurchase without
hesitation, these are the main products that I adore. Make sure to leave me a comment
down below and let me know some of the products that you love and why you use
them so often. I will also leave some affiliate links below in case you would
like to look at these products for yourself!
