Top 5 Foundations

I loveeee foundation, however I must be the fussiest person ever when it comes to finding the one that ticks all the boxes for me. It has to be long lasting, the right coverage and has a dewy finish. Over the past few years I have tried a ridiculous amount of foundation, it's not normal, and found some that I think are brilliant but others that I wouldn't dare use twice. I found it quite hard to pick my top 5 foundations, but I am going to share them with you and these are the ones that I love and that suit my skin type best. My skin type is dry-combination. 


Mac Face and Body: This is a foundation that I have recently rediscovered from when I was clearing out my makeup. The formula of this is incredibly thin and is a water based foundation, I can't really describe It's texture but It feels kind of sticky when not fully blended in. I like to apply this with a Zoeva 102 silk finish brush and then use the buffing brush to buff it into my skin. 

YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat: This is my summer foundation it is incredibly light and feels so weightless on my skin and is great as it contains SPF 19, so perfect for the summer. Just like the Touche Éclat highlighter pen it is very illuminating and I seem to apply this with my fingers and it blends in really well.

Nars Sheer Glow: I have been using this foundation for around a year now and have gone through so many bottles, shows how much I love it. I honestly wear this foundation day in day out and what I love is that a little, really does go a long way. It gives a medium coverage and gives more of a glowy finish to the skin, but not too glowy to the point where you are glistening. Is glowy even a word?...

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua: This foundation is great It has more of a light coverage however it is buildable but I love the light feeling it gives to my face, it isn't heavy or cakey on the skin. The Vitalumeire aqua is a water based foundation that is suitable for all skin types, it gives such a flawless finish. Oh and I also love the packaging. 

Rimmel Match Perfection: This was such a lucky pick of mine, considering I am so fussy when choosing foundation. This was one of the first foundations that I ever bought and I always go back to this one. I find this foundation very similar to Nars Sheer Glow its a medium coverage and gives a satiny finish and is so easy to apply onto the skin with either a brush or using your fingers. 


What is your favourite foundation, have you tried any of these?

  1. Is it just me or do you think that the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation kind of changes colour as you wear it? For me when I first apply it, it looks a bit dark but after a while it matches my skin perfectly? Haha maybe I'm just going weird! Lovely post though :)
