I thought I'd share with you my top foundations. One being drugstore and the other being high end. I must admit, foundation is the one makeup product that I don't really tend to change too often. If I find something I like and it works why change it?
Foundation is the base of your makeup, when choosing one you have to consider the texture, durability, colour etc, so it isn't as straightforward as we'd like.
M·A·C STUDIO FACE AND BODY FOUNDATION
This foundation is priced at £29.50 for the 120ml or you can get a 50ml for £23. Now for an extra £6.50, I would definitely recommend getting the bigger bottle, you get another 70ml - it's a no-brainer. However, you can only get the larger bottle online. Now like most things, this foundation does have a downside, it isn't available in many shades, at all. It only has 11, considering how many different skin tones there are as well as different undertones to peoples skin, such as pink, yellow, neutral. It doesn't provide much variety for people. The foundation itself is more watery based than other foundations, meaning that it is a lot more moisturising than other foundations. I have dry skin, so this is good because it doesn't stick to any dry areas.
Online this foundation is said to be a sheer coverage due to its watery base but is 100% buildable. With concealer and powder, near enough full coverage. It does leave a natural-looking finish and isn't heavy on the skin at all which I love.
L'OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH
£9.99, that's all this foundation costs. Without a doubt worth every penny. So not only is the price super affordable, but it has 28 shades available. Yes, that's right 28 shades, it's on a much larger scale compared to some other brands both drugstore and high end. Its full coverage doesn't feel heavy, long lasting, flawless dewy finish. What more could you want from a foundation? However, there is one problem I have. If I apply this foundation and then apply powder over it. (more so on my nose rather than any other areas) it goes matte and can look a bit dry. I tend not to put powder on, simply because of that.
I would love to try more high end and drugstore foundations so let me know what your favourites are.
