Review | Foundations

I have chosen three foundations to review, all different brands and prices!

The first product is the Nars Sheer Glow foundation, this is my favourite foundation ever! I have so many foundations that are either the wrong colour or too cakey, but this one is just right, it's perfect to wear everyday but can be layered for a night out. I apply this in the morning and it still looks the same by the time I'm taking it off to go to bed! The only downside of this product is the price, it is the most expensive foundation in this review it costs £30.50, also it doesn't come with a pump which isn't a huge problem and it stops you wasting the foundation, but I just prefer a pump, you can purchase them separately if required! The colour I am currently using is Ceylan which is perfect for my skin without a tan! It has taken me a good three years to finally find a foundation that I like and looks good on my skin! I wasn't sure when I bought it as it's the sheer glow foundation, and I like quite full coverage, but I hardly use any of it and it gives flawless coverage! 

Before I discovered the Nars foundation I used to use the Bourjois 123 perfect every single day and absolutely loved it! It's such a good price I think it was around the £10 mark but I really can't remember! It is quite a thick foundation and full coverage! My skin is quite dry and usually foundation ends up being quite cakey and doesn't really last all day, but this is the only high street foundation I can get on with! The colour I use in this number 51 light vanilla, it is a little too pale but the shade lighter was to dark, I can never seem to find the right colour with Bourjois foundations, but together with a slightly darker powder it was a perfect match! 

The last foundation in my review is the MAC Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation. This was the first MAC foundation I ever bought, I visited the store in Bath, UK. Firstly the girl who served me wasn't much help and was very obnoxious, I have quite pale skin, and she matched me with n18 which is too dark and has a strong yellow tone! So I wasn't overly happy with this product! I usually use this for night out as you can get away with being slightly more tanned! When I bought this first of all I hated it and never used it, after coming back to I started to really enjoy it, and it now makes my top 3! I would definitely recommend trying a sample of this before purchasing it, I didn't know they were available when I bought this! I found this foundation quite thick and full coverage, I found I had to blend it in fairly quickly when applying it! Over all a great foundation and truly is Longwear! 

I would just like to say I am not a make up artist and haven't had any training these are just my views!
