Best Foundation For Your Skin Type?

Fellow Blogees,

Happy Sunday everyone! Enjoy it while it lasts, the doom of Monday will soon be here. Now, yesterday we were talking about skin types and how to choose the right foundation for your skin. So working in perfect synchronicity with Saturday's post, we thought we'd dedicate Sunday to telling you about which are the best ones to go out and nab for each skin type. So while you're having your morning coffee, take a look at our picks of the best foundations.

This section is for you Combination people out there :

Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion - £39 // No. 7 Stay Perfect - £14.50

First up is Amani Maestro. This gives a very matte finish, but still gives a natural look to your face, so don't be alarmed. However, this is not for your heavy duty look. It gives light to medium coverage, which may need reapplying. Still a good all round product though!

Next up is No 7 Stay and Perfect. This is great as it includes Vitamin E, so it has plenty of  moisturising properties, to avoid the dry outer skin. On initial use, it seems there is medium coverage. However it is buildable and is able to be layered, without being thick and heavy. It also contains SPF which is great for summer protection. This is also a cheaper option, but you might be surprised at what you find.

Dry Skined people, this way :

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat - £30.50 // Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - £10.99

YSL Touche Eclat is a favourite of ours, we did feature it a few weeks ago. It has great light to medium coverage, and is covers problematic skin perfectly. It's also very hydrating, to works to give a nice natural and dewy look. The gel texture makes it easy to apply, which is always handy.

A cheaper, but just as good alternative is Healthy Mix Serum from Bourjoirs. It is VERY similar, same gel texture and an excellent blender. Also, a small amount can go a long way, so you won't have to keep buying. We love an economical product.

Lucky Normal Skined people, you're up :

bareMinerals Original Foundation - £19.95 // MAC Face and Body - £21.50 (50ml)

Bare Minerals Original Foundation is perfect for giving an air brushed, dewy look. Which obviously, we all want! It's only downside is the messiness when applying, but it is great for covering blemishes and redness.

MAC Face and Body is pretty fab for an all round foundation. At the start it has quite light coverage due to the runny formula, but it can be layered for better coverage. This one contains no SPF so great for flash photography. Basically good for all skin types!

Oily skin people, head up this way:

Clarins Ever Matte - £27 // Revlon ColorStay - £12.49

Clarins Ever Matte- obviously, this one produces a matte finish, but that's good because it will mask your oily skin. Medium coverage, but not too heavy which is great, as it doesn't just sit flat on the skin. You'll also be pleased to know that it doesn't slip around on the skin, so you don't have to worry about touching up throughout the day.

Revlon Colour Stay again has a good matte finish, so this will help the oily skin. Covers spots and redness quite well, BUT people, there is no pump so beware! Things can get a tad messy so have some wipes handy.

We hope that's been some use to you, and if you buy any of the products do let us know!

Have a good week, see you wednesday
