I've decided to round up the week with a quick review of 5 of my tried and tested foundations.
Bobbi Brown BB Cream - Light - £29
Pros:
- Light weight feeling
- SPF 35
- This smells quite strong when first applied but I quite like it! And it doesn't linger on the skin
- Extremely easy to blend and quick to apply
Cons:
- Very light coverage - I don't see much difference on my skin
- Transfers quite easily onto clothes
- Not particularly long lasting but can be helped with powder/ setting spray and a primer
- Poor range of shades
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation - Peach Ivory - £34
Pros:
- Lovely natural coverage - not too matte and not too dewy, the perfect medium
- Will work with every skin type
- When blended correctly this shouldn't cling to dry patches
- Buildable coverage from light to full
- Lasts a good few hours
Cons:
- Needs to be touched up throughout the day to prevent breaking up
- If not shaken well before used this is very watery and difficult to work with
- Pricey at £34
No7 Beautifully Matte Mousse Foundation - Cool Beige - £13.50
Pros:
- Natural medium coverage
- Affordable
- Mattifying for oily skin types
Cons:
- Transfers very easily
- Not very long lasting at all
- Will not work on dry skin types - this clings to even the slightest dry spot
- Feels heavy on the skin
Rimmel Wake Me Up - True Ivory - £8.99
Pros:
-Very affordable for a quality product
- Gives a lovely light weight finish
- Easy to blend and apply
- Buildable coverage
Cons:
- Oxidises after application
- Doesn't last very long on the skin
Chanel Lift Lumiere - Clair - £38
Pros:
- Very dewy finish - I like it
- SPF 15
- Wide range of colours
- Light to medium coverage
- Long lasting
Cons:
- Personally I think this would be better on more mature skin - I don't think I can see all of the benefits
- Can not be built to a high coverage
- Very expensive for an average 30ml bottle
- Bulky packaging- not good for travel
