Description/ Review
These are the three foundations that I use on a regular basis. Each one
for a different reason. From left to right …
1) Mac Studio Fix Fluid –
This is my go to foundation. I love a medium to high coverage foundation and
this doesn’t disappoint. The consistency is liquid but as it dries it goes
sticky so I suggest doing each part of your face at a time if you’re a slow worker.
It’s really easy to use and blends in really well too and it has spf 15 which
is a massive bonus. I usually put my concealer underneath as I find it gives me
a better result, you can apply it n top but make sure to tap it on rather than
rub because as the foundation is sticky as it dries if you rub it just won’t
blend in. I personally prefer to use my fingers with this because brushes seem
to make it goes streaky but this could be my crappy brush (im getting a new one
asap) I would suggest using a stippling brush instead of the traditional foundation
brush. The finish is pretty matt and with pouder is so flawless and airbrushed.
I remember the first time I wore it and my friend said I looked like I came out
of a magazine. The wear on this is amazing! I don’t have to touch it up all day
(maybe a little powder but hardly ever) and because im super lazy with make up
that suits me perfectly. finally I would say that this is ideally for someone
who wants a good covererage, I think it would suit most skin types (im oily to
dry) but it might mess with dry skin and if you have lots of spots or are prone
to break outs maybe mix this with another foundation or only use it at
weekends.
2) Next is Cliniques
Superbalanced Makeup Tint. This is the foundation I use when I’m not tanned and
when I know I have time to touch it up during the day. I use alablaster which
is literally perfect for any of you pale people that find even the lightest
foundation is still the wrong colour. This was my favourite foundation before I
discovered Mac and it will always have a special place in my heart. It’s a liquid
consistency and thinner than the Mac with a medium to light coverage but it’s
very buildable. I would say it works best with a brush but you can still use
your fingers. The finish is dewy but I find it needs a setting powder because
it shifts pretty easily. This is such a good foundation if you want a minimal
look as it always looks so natural and it feels super lightweight. It’s not for
oily skin, I mean it says oil free but because it doesn’t stay put for more
than 5 hour ish I wouldn’t recommend it if you have oily skin. You have to
touch this foundation up and it doesn’t stand very well I the heat which are
the only two negatives that I have to say.
3) The final foundation
is L’Oreal true match. This foundation I use when im at home for the day or not
doing anything special and I don’t want to waste my expensive stuff. I know A
LOT of people rave about this foundation so it’s defiantly worth a try but to
be honest I don’t love it. This is a light to medium foundation but it can be
built up so easily. It’s a liquid but it dries kind of powdery. I haven’t got a
decent brush at the moment but I can imagine it going on so much better with a
brush than fingers. The durability is pretty good, not as great as the Mac but
as long as im not doing anything strenuous it stays put (again I use a powder
with it). I think it’s the idea foundation to have as a back up. I wouldn’t advise
this to dry skin types because of the powdery finish.
