I recently went to Sephora to purchase a Lancome foundation but had a mini makeover done first and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the Smashbox foundation better so I bought it. I love it! It feels so lightweight I forget I'm wearing it, offers the medium to full coverage that I need, comes in a glass bottle with a pump, lasts on my skin all day, keeps my skin looking and feeling great, and was $20 cheaper than the Lancome foundation. Amazing shade selection too and Smashbox is cruelty free!
My FAVOURITE foundation.
I'm an extremely oily skin type so I have a very hard time finding products that do not melt off my nose. This is one of the few that are tried and true for me. Insane staying power and great full, yet natural looking, coverage. Lost half a star because there is a weird jump in colour between 1.2 and 2.1 that I fall into throughout parts of the year. Also because it doesn't mattify my skin as much as claimed so I still need to use an anti-shine with this product.
I have used this foundation for almost 2 years now. It is by far my favourite foundation and I'll explain the pros and cons. The pros are that it stays on literally 15 hours, I may touch it up with some powder/bronzer but besides that it stays on a long time. It doesn't look "caked on" (i'd rather a natural look) and it doesn't make my skin look so oily. However keep in mind I put on a moisturizer/primer before and I use another product for coverup on the odd spot. The con is of course the price as I have a hard time paying $40 on foundation but its been well worth it the past couple years. I first bought it at Sephora, but since there is not a Sephora where I live, I purchase it at Shoppers Drug Mart (although some do not carry it). This product also lasts me 3-4 months as opposed to the cheaper foundations that I had to buy monthly.
