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’ve been using this ever since I was 15 and watched all the YouTubers review the fit me line. While I have been using it since then, there’s no other product that I would recommend for powder.

This foundation gives your skin very much natural coverage. With a moderately rich texture and breathable formula, it is very easy to apply, melting into skin upon application. Improves skin quality over time, looking healthy and glowing.

This is a great everyday foundation, not full coverage but gives a great, natural look. I have sensitive skin but this doesn;t make it react but can get a little bit oily looking if you wear it all day.

Delilah foundation

So I have a very dry skin that flakes. My foundation has always looked cakey or powdery. I tried out a sample of delilah timeframe foundation and immediately loved how smooth, velvety texture it had. It didn't dry out my skin and covered any spots very well. It had a very...

Rms beauty “un” cover up cream foundation

1 review

Truly the only foundation that has ever really suited me. I have a lot of trouble finding a good match abs being happy with it. This is a game changer, there isn’t a massive amount of colour choices but that said, there are lots of different tones in the range. It’s...
MAC studio finish foundation NW15

Although I have dry, mature skin, I find this powder foundation sits well on top of a good moisturizer. It is buildable and I tend to just use it where I need it most as the colour match is ideal for my pale skin. It can be applied damp and comes with a sponge applicator in...

Maybelline Dream Urban Cover

This foundation promises full coverage and SPF 50, which is exactly what I need from this type of product. My shade is 102 Fair Porcelain. It is quite liquidy, but it provides medium coverage and sunscreen. It smells like one too, and it is getting stronger with time. So I am on...
Body shop compress foundation powder

You don't need to have many foundations and powders together. Just one product and gives u an instant make.up look. Just a stroke is enough for general wear. For party, I would say you could apply a little more generously. But yes, I had using foundations as they don't spread...
No7 Stay Perfect Foundation

8 reviews

This is a nice full coverage foundation that is easy to apply. It goes on smoothly and it’s too stick or greasy. When on it feels light and even, it dries nicely and you can add your other blusher/highlighter to it to give that perfect finish. It lasts well and only needs to...

I absolutely LOVE this foundation. I couldn't believe the amount of shades they had when I placed my order online. I was very pale when I bought this foundation, it was the most I've ever paid for any make up at $36 a bottle. It's a high quality bottle and a little goes a long...
