My top three tips are:
Never feel pressured to buy foundation.
Try to get a sample wherever possible.
After applying makeup try to view in natural light.
I have been through so much trial and error to try to find the right foundation shade because my skin is oily, I have yellow undertones and my face is a little darker than my neck and décolletage.
I have had my foundation made me look yellow or too red or literally be sliding down my face but hey you live and you learn. With foundation I would say that high end doesn't always give you the best results it's just about what your skin loves.
I have found three foundations that I love and I would continue to purchase.
1.Sleek Beauty Balm: I am in love with this product it is amazing. It leaves a dewy flawless finish. I have worn this foundation and strangers have come up to me in the street and asked what I'm wearing and have been in shock to learn that it's a Sleek foundation. This product offers medium to full coverage with ought being cakey and would be great for those with warm yellow undertones. I absolutely love this foundation and I will continue to repurchase.
The only negative is that there aren't many shades available, but if you do find a shade that matches you. I know you will be happy.
I use a Real Techniques Buffing brush to apply this foundation.
This product is available for £8.99 from the Sleek website, Superdrug and larger Boots and Tesco Stores.
This is a great foundation, it has a gel like consistency which allows you to create a even and flawless look. This foundation leaves a dewy finish so too ensure I don't look too shiny I use a mattifying primer ( see previous post) and a lightweight powder. I have been reaching for this product recently because I am little darker so this foundation is the perfect match. I really like this product and wish it was a little less pricey but that's Mac products for you.
I use a Real Techniques Buffing brush to apply this foundation.
Studio Sculp foundation is available for £22.50 from Mac cosmetics online and in stores.
3.Mac Face and Body
This is a lightweight but buildable foundation almost like a tinted moisturiser. It is great for the summer because it still allows you skin to breathe through, if u have beauty spots or freckles that you would like to show through this would be perfect for you.
This foundation is water based so it's quite runny so it can be tricky to apply. I like to apply this foundation with my fingers or the Elf Powder brush.
This product is available to purchase for £27.00 from Mac cosmetics online and in stores.
Find the right foundation takes along time So try to be patient and don't rush it.
Thanks for reading.
