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 love these!! I use the 120 (classic ivory) and 330 ( toffee) for my contouring. With me having light skin these two shades work really well and match with my skin tone.

Clinique redness solutions makeup

Whilst you can see this neutralises the redness it seems to have pinky undertones so leaves your face a shade of pale pink instead of red. Not ideal for me. It didn't have much staying power for me either, found that by lunch time it had worn of my cheeks and they hade no...
Pure anada pressed foundation

This pressed mineral foundation is the best I have found. I can use a flat brush for more coverage or a fluffy brush to even out skin tone lightly. I use it in the summer to protect my face from the sun. The best!

This is the best value for money foundation out there- it gives medium coverage and works well for my combination skin. Unfortunately the shade range isn't inclusive and is something the brand should work on in the future.

I love Avon MagiX cashmere finish foundation. The colors are realistic, and match my skin color so well, you can hardly tell that I have it on. I love the spf 10, because I have fair skin, so if I am outside in the sun, my face would normally burn easily. I also liked this...

The price of this foundation is excellent. I think the foundation itself would be absolutely fantastic for people with minimal need for coverage. It is very thin. On the areas of my skin without issues, it looks fantastic. When it comes to dark circles and acne though, it just...
