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 used this foundation for a very long time and I absolutely love how easy this goes on. It is very easy to apply depending on what you using (finger, brush or sponge). it does stay on like the name says, no caking whatsoever.

Foundation was a little too dark for my skin but blended in well with a make up brush. A good sized tube with pump so you can easily control how much you use. Didn't need to use powder on top as the foundation had quite a powdery finish. Lasts well all day or evening. If I...

PS Perfect Finish Foundation

Fantastic bargain from Primark make-up range. I use high end usually and this isn't massively different at £2.50! Gives a good finish and is layer-able. Medium to full coverage and isn't heavy on the skin...perfect for daytime use.

The best foundation I have ever used. Goes on really well. I apply with a sponge or brush. It’s a lightweight texture and is non oily. It has buildable coverage too which is perfect! Is great for my dry skin too and helps it look hydrated!

PS Double Coverage Matte Foundation

1 review

I normally do not buy makeup from Primark but had read a lot of good reviews about this foundation. It was all true as it was like using a high-end product but only costs £5. Worth every penny and more, the range of shades is very good too. It covers well and looks good on the...
Burjois Healthy Mix serum foundation

Amazing, not expensive, good coverage, nice smell, great texture. Great ingredients and totally worth it. Used it a few years ago and tried other in the way, now back to this one as it’s amazing. Not every dude available in UK stores - weirdly, but you can purchase more shades...

This is by far the best foundation I've ever used hands down. I came across this stuff by an accident when a friend of mine was letting me use some stuff from her makeup bag and I asked to use this, it was my skin color which was awesome but even better than that .. it blended...
Marcelle Flawless Luminous Foundation

I love Marcelle foundations. They have never irritated my sensitive skin and provide a nice, light, blended coverage. If you are looking for heavier coverage, try the flawless air serum Marcelle offers instead. This foundation gives just enough glow to help tired, dull looking...
Paul & Joe Moisturizing Fluid Foundation

I generally have combination skin (dry patches and oily T-zone) and in the winter season nothing beats this foundation for adding a dose of hydration to the dryness that seems to take over my face. As a foundation with medium coverage, it does break apart at the end of the day...

I have very oily face, so having a good compact is a must for me. This one does the job. It absorbs the oils and takes away the shine. I always keep it in my handbag.
