Foundation Reviews

Peaches 'n cream-complected young people need not apply, but the rest of us need a little help evening out skin tone, hiding sun damage, and masking enlarged pores.  That's where a proper foundation comes in.  There are two main ways to use this product: mineral powder (praised for its non-comedogenic and natural sun blocking properties) and liquid formulations (best for creating a dewy glowing look).  Be sure to change your usual shade by season to best match your natural tone.  If you can't decide between two shades, go for the darker one to give your complexion warmth and mask flaws better.

ChickAdvisor members give props to powdered foundations from Bare Escentuals bareMinerals, MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation, and Maybelline New York Mineral Power Loose Foundation.  High marks for liquid formulas belong to Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse, Marcelle New-Age Anti-Wrinkle Makeup, and Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation.

I have discovered Nip&Fab;recently, when I saw and ad about a few sales they had o their website. A lot of people were talking positive about the foundation, and at the sale price ( £2.5 from £12.5) i really wanted to try it. After trying Mac, NO7, Nyx, Rimmel and other...
Physians formula healthy skin Foundation

Great for everyday foundation use. Yet, shade range is pretty limited for tan skin either to light or way to dark. If they expanded I would repurchase but as of now mixing multiple colors defeats the purpose of buying a drugstore foundation
Anastasia Luminous Foundation

Really natural looking and brightening. I will say I haven't quite found my right skin tone match. But I'm going to try! The only thing I will say is that once it's been on your skin for a few hours, it definitely turns more luminous. The first time I wore it, I was out...
Wet ‘n Wild photofocus Foundation

For the price, I was excited about this foundation. Not only did it cost very little, but the reviews were pretty good. But when I got it, it was FAR too light, even though I picked a shade name that usually suited my skin tone. It was also SO cakey, even when using a beauty...

Revolution foundation mixer (lightener)

My skin is a lot paler in whiter and this means I can still use my normal foundation without having to spend money on another shade which I feel is a waste. Can easily lighten my foundation to be a perfect match without having to sacrifice the finish of the foundation. A little...
Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Foundation

I have the more drier skin and it's okay! It does cling to a couple of my drier patches but over all makes a pretty good foundation! It doesn't have a nasty smell and a little goes a long way I find! It blends well with fingers, a beauty blender or a brush!
No7 match made custom made foundation

Good product. I found that you use more as you need to mix it with a primer or moisturiser. I liked it as you can choose either light, medium or heavy coverage rather than getting different products.

Helen E Foundation

I had never tried Helen E Foundation before so I was very dubious as I can never find one I like. After the first use I was pleasantly surprised. The coverage was great and didn't make my skin feel heavy. Will definitely purchase again.

I received two samples of this foundation after doing an online colour analysis. Before I give my opinion on the product I would like to add that Dcypher customer service is fantastic, I had a problem with the colour analysis and was contacted by the company so they could help...

This foundation is really good for being a high street brand. It lasts the whole Day and doesn’t look like it’s smugges. It is the perfect shade for me and don’t make me look fake which is what the expensive brands do even though they cost a lot. The price is also very...

This is a stunning foundation! Looks so pretty and skin-like without being heavy and dry looking/feeling. I am obsessed with the finish, it looks fresh and natural with a beautiful glow. Definitely blends the best with a damp sponge, for me at least because it is a very creamy...
