my foundations

I think foundation is very dependable on the season. For example, you wouldn't be wearing a dark shade in winter as it just looks weird. Likewise, you want to look slightly tanned during the summer. As it is January, (IT SNOWED TODAY YAYYY) I have been wearing quite a light foundation.


           No7 Stay Perfect super light foundation - warm beige 
I naturally have quite an olive skin tone so this foundation is fairly light on me. If you have a fair complexion, you could probably get away with this in summer, as long as you added blusher etc. This foundation has got an amazing coverage and also gives you a slight highlight to your face. It applies really easily and is quite smooth so spreads well on a brush. It does create a flawless complexion and has a 24 hour wear. It feels as you have none on as it is fairly light proof and also has a SPF of 15. It retails at £14.50.




However, I do have a favourite foundation which I wear a LOT.. Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid - 40 fawn. This foundation creates a pore less look and is thick and creamy. It is almost like their 'Dream Matte Mouse' but is easier to use. It is a perfect shade for crosses between weather but also looks nice at any time. Recently, I have been mixing this foundation with my No7 one, and it makes my skin look amazing! I do find that sometimes it seems to take a lot of liquid to cover the whole face but I do think it is worth it. It really is my holy grail foundation! It costs £8 which is ridiculous. 



                                                                                             Although, last summer I wore a completely different foundation all together (especially after I'd been to Cornwall).. Revlon Colour Stay 24hour - 330 natural tan. I found this foundation quite dark and I had to lighten it up with a powder, even after I had been sunbathing! It did make my face look silky and had a fairly good coverage. Unfortunately, the Revlon foundations do not come with a pump so I found it a nightmare to keep pouring on my hand! However, like the bottle says, it did stay on for 24 hours and kept me looking tanned. This foundation costs £12.50. byee xx


 ps. sorry for the awful picture and bottle quality!
