I was only around 12 years old when I first fell in love with makeup. I had just gotten an iPod touch and I contstantly watched YouTube tutorials. 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 so I could hide them.

Looking back, I think that it was Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse that started the obsession. From there I began to branch out and try out many different brands. In this blog post I thought that I would do a round up. To 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. 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. 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. This is the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Foundation. It is truly a beautiful product. The level of coverage that I get from this foundation when applied with a  dense brush is second to none. It actually matches up to the old Marc Jacobs ‘Remarcable’ Foundation that was like pure pigment in a bottle. 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. 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 go-to foundations and I absolutely adore the way that they look on the skin. This 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. After sitting down and really thinking about the products that I use and repurchase without hesitation.
