Earlier this year I started wearing liquid foundation regularly. Before then, I used to stick to my powder foundation but ever since I started the liquid I can't seem to get enough. I feel like it makes my makeup look well put together more so than the powder. Don't get me wrong I still love powder foundation and haven't ditched it altogether but I use it mainly when I'm in a rush and cannot spend time doing a full face of makeup.
Before I started using a foundation I spent a lot of time reading reviews on which liquid foundation was good for combination skin since my t-zone is oily and the outer part of my face can get really dry.The first foundation I tried was the Infallible by L'Oreal in the shade Sun Beige. This was the more popular foundation at the time I was looking for one and since I already love L'Oreal products I decided to start with this one. I wore it for about 2 months and although I liked how matte it made my face look I also felt like it would dry my skin out. I would even mix it with about 3/4 foundation and 1/4 of the ELF tinted moisturizer since I needed some spf over the summer and it was still too dry. As the day went on I also felt like it would settle into the creases in my face which I did not like at all! I still think it was a great foundation to start with but I'm happy that I've found others that I love a lot more.
The next one I purchased is the Fit Me! Matte + Poreless foundation by Maybelline in the color Warm Honey and really love it because it's matte but still has like a natural finish. It is for oily to normal skin so I just think that it pairs up with my skin type really well. It also lasts all day long with out wearing off which is a huge plus. The packaging is also really nice and pretty compared to other drugstore foundations.
Lastly, I have the Revlon Airbrush Effect foundation in the color Medium Beige. So far I've noticed that the consistency is less thick than the other 2 foundations but I think that might be a good thing. I bought it a few days ago so I don't think I can make a decision on which I like best yet but if I did have to choose I'd pick the Maybelline Matte + Poreless foundation.
Do you use on of these already? If not are there any foundations that you would recommend?
*prices based off of Target
I use the Clinique moisture surge CC cream or Clinique Even Better foundation, but both are pretty far from drugstore prices especially if you use it everyday. You definitely get what you pay for though xx
ReplyDeleteI actually really want to try that !! I heard Clinique has gift sets for great prices during the holiday season so I'm going to look into that :)
