Chanel
Chanel describes their product as a “fluid foundation that awakens tired skin” with a formula that is “exceptionally fine, fresh and lightweight aqueous” providing “an incomparable second skin finish.”
In need of a light second-skin-looking foundation it matched my requirements, so I gave it a go. A couple of months on it’s time to share my opinion.
The product really does help achieve a fresh and healthy look, covering imperfections well. It lasts all day and feels like I’m not even wearing foundation.
The high definition light pigments create a radiant and luminous complexion that I love whilst the hyaluronic acid derivative helps maintain my skin’s moisture levels.
I’m less concerned about the claimed SPF15 sun protection as I’m a SPF50 kind of girl!
At a price of £40 for 30 ml it’s not on the cheap side but you only need a small amount and it will last you a few months. All in all, a good buy!
Smashbox
This brand caught my attention from a Makeup Influencer that I watch on YouTube.
She raved about this foundation across several tutorials, prompting me to try it out and fortunately this proved to be a great purchase. And on this occasion, I opted for a tone a few shades darker than normal so that I can use it after I’ve had a spray tan.
This little beauty evens out the appearance of your skin tone well, meeting their promise that it “never settle into pores and lines”. As an oil-free liquid foundation it provides medium-to-full buildable coverage.
Studio Skin is infused with nourishing hyaluronic acid and won’t oxidize or cause breakouts, leaving you with a fresh, natural matte finish that I love.
I’ve had this foundation for a while and it’s still half full. At a cost of £31 for 30 mls this is great value.
I really like Smashbox as a brand and recommend them.
Morphe
Having really liked their tinted moisturiser I didn’t hesitate in buying one of their foundations. I bought the closest to my skin tone and opted for a medium-to-full coverage.
Their promise is that it’s “longwearing and designed to provide a natural finish that blurs imperfections while deeply hydrating and nourishing skin.” “Crafted in Italy for the ultimate soft-focus, filter-effect look and powered by high-performing, skin-perfecting ingredients.”
Do I agree…yes! And at a price of £18 for 28ml it’s great value.
It feels like I’m not wearing foundation and it certainly leaves me with a near-on-perfect complexion that lasts the whole day. I like to mix a little dewy-effect highlighter before applying as I love a goddess glow!
Verdict
If you’re looking to replenish your makeup I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending any of the above foundations as they offer the ability for us all to have enviable complexions.
