Best high End Foundations

Saturday, 7 June 2014



Hi/Salaam my lovelies!. Today I have decided to share my best high foundations in my opinion. I really hope it helps and give you an idea of what to go for or expect when you buy the mentioned products. I have tried my best to include everything about each product, but if any of you followers have a any questions just comment below or send me an email, on that note this is based on my experience now obviously everyone is different and just in case you're wondering my skin type fall into the dry/combination am also acne prone and quite sensitive haha! I guess my skin is a bit lost at the moment (still searching for its real family)

Make up for ever HD –
This foundation is a must have for all makeup artists/addicts (such as myself). It provides a medium coverage to the skin so if you need that full coverage just apply concealer to your problematic areas and you are good to go. It creates a soft focus effect that softens the skin and blurs imperfections giving you an absolute flawless skin which look beautiful in photograph and pictures. It’s perfect to use on brides and for photo shoots. I personally love it and it is one of my all-time favourites, I personally think spending money on high quality foundations is not a waste because it goes on your face and the main reason why we wear foundation in the first place is to look better not worse so spending few extra pounds is totally worth it plus expensive foundations usually last longer (well with me anyways) a little goes a long way which is a bonus!!. BUT not in all case be sure to do your research and read as many reviews as you can and when you finally decide to buy ask for a sample first, and see what works for you.
Coverage- medium coverage
Finish- satin finish
Price- £30.95
Where you can purchase - Selfridges
Mac face and body
I have wanted to get this foundation for so long especially when my face decided to go all hard rock on me during winter. This foundation is water base foundation which provided low-to-medium coverage and a flawless finish. Now with this foundation I would say is more suited for those with dry skin because its water base and its more kind to the skin than foundations with thick consistency as they can hold to dry areas making them stand out even more and we don’t want that. This foundation also good looks good in photography as it contains no SPF and can be worn all over the body. I apply it with a beauty blender or a real technique foundation brush, absolutely a great foundation for the price. However, if you have a problematic skin and need more coverage I wouldn't recommend this foundation because it doesn't provide high coverage and doesn't last very long, great alternative would be Illamasqua rich foundation it is an amazing foundation with a very high coverage, it covers everything and I mean everything ; tattoos, birth marks, acne scarring and so on.
Coverage- low to medium
Finish- dewy
Price- £21.50
Where to buy- Selfridges
Estée lauder Double wear-
This foundation is known for its lasting power and it is one of the best-selling foundations in the market. The shades are broken down into three categories’ Cool, ‘Neutrals’ and ‘Warm’, which makes it easier to find your ideal shade. I believe there are 30 shades available to choose from which is amazing, you can’t go wrong but be sure to test and ask for a sample before you buy just in case, I mean you don’t want to waste £28 pound on the wrong shade now do you? When applying the foundation you need to apply and blend it in very quickly because once it’s on it’s on for the day and doesn’t fade or wear out like most foundations do. Cool stuff right? In my opinion this foundation is absolutely great especially if you’re out all day (Most of us are) and need your face flawless without touching up every other hour.
Coverage- Full coverage
Finish – Matt finish
Price- £28
Where to purchase- Boots, Debenhams, House of Fraser, Selfridges

Illamasqua skin base foundation
Another favourite of mine: D this is another great foundation in the market. I personally think it's more suited for people with oil/ combination skin types, it goes on like a dream and covers all blemishes giving you a flawless finish but, if you have a dry skin you might not like this as it can look a bit too obvious unless you moisturize your face really well, but for me personally I still think it dries out during the day and just doesn't look great on dry skin. On the good side though, a little goes a long way with this foundation don't let the size of the bottle tell you otherwise. It's also great to mix with other foundations depending on the coverage you want and has a pretty good staying power.
Illamasqua's description of the item ''Easily blendable, it effortlessly creates a perfect complexion, and like the entire Illamasqua foundation range, is undetectable in a professional HD environment. Suitable for all skin types, it smoothies, softens and conditions your skin whilst providing natural, buildable coverage''.

Finish - Dewy /satin finish
Price-£ 32
