Mini makeup Collection: Foundations

Hey guys! So I have done 2 mini makeup collections now, one on bronzers/contour products and one on concealers, Today I am going to do a post on my foundations. I don't really have a lot of foundations, but I have enough to make a post, I own 3 foundations, and then 2 bb creams. I wear foundation most days when I am wearing makeup as it evens out my skin and gives me a more even complexion. To apply my foundation I either use the Real Techniques Expert face brush which is £10 in boots, it is a really good brush to apply foundation with, or my beauty blender. So I just pump 1-2 squirts of foundation onto my hand and then dot it on my face and buff it in. Anyway, these are the foundations I own!




The first foundation is the Rimmel London Match Perfection foundation, this costs £7, and I have it in the lightest shade which is probably a bit too light for me but it is a really good foundation. It has a light to medium coverage but you could build it up as it is really blendable. This is a nice foundation for everyday and was actually the first drugstore one i think i ever bought.



The second one is the L'Oreal True match foundation, this is £10 so a little bit more pricy for the drugstore but still a really good price! I use to wear this one everyday, but I think its a bit too pink toned for me so I need to pick up a new shade again! This foundation is a light to medium coverage and is really natural for everyday. I have myn in the old packaging which is a rounder bottle but they have a new bottle for this foundation now which is tall and more rectangular.



My third foundation is another L'Oreal one and this is the Infallible sculpt contouring base. This is actually designed to help your contour stay on your face longer but I just use it like a normal foundation and it is really good, It is a medium to full coverage foundation so quite thick but doesn't feel too heavy and this one lasts for a really long time too! If there was one thing I didn't like about this foundation it would just be that it can oxidize, which may not be an issue for darker skin, but for me as I'm quite pale it does not always match my neck and can look a little orange.



The fourth product is not a foundation but a bb cream. If you don't know what a bb cream it is basically a 'beauty balm' a tinted moisturizer. This one is the Maybelline Dream pure bb cream, and provides a light to medium coverage, perfect for everyday, or those days where you feel like you want to wear ' a bit less'.
This particular one is a really nice bb cream and gives a lovely finish to the skin.



My final product is the bare Minerals complexion rescue tinted hydrating gel cream. Now I know alot of people really like this, my mum gave me hers because it was too light for her but she did like the product itself. However I'm not a massive fan of this, just because it is a gel type formula and i find it sits on my face and feels sort of wet even when I set it with powder. Saying that I know it is a very popular product and does give a really nice coverage, plus it has spf30 which is great if you live in a warmer climate.



So that is my post on my Foundations/bb creams! Hopefully I'll have some more by the end of this year, I really want to try Nars sheer glow and the Makeup forever HD foundation, so if you've tried either of those let me know what you think. Hope you enjoyed this post :) Love, courts xx
