The Starting Off Project - Foundation

Hello-

I fell of track on the Starting Off Project but I'll try to sneak a few more in this week:

so project


I left off on Foundation.

In my previous post on Concealer HERE I wrote about my preference to use concealer most of the time unless I really need a full face of foundation.  Because in my opinion if you are going to wear foundation - go all out with the big guns.
I have also included a link to my Foundation Routine Video 

But of course I would be remiss to not describe the various types of foundation.  I hear foundation called "base" as well and that's pretty much what it is - a cream or powder formula made to match your skin and give you the appearance of a perfect base.

Let's start off with the ridiculous-ness that is the "BB", "CC" "whateva" cream trend.  You know what it is? Tinted moisturizer with some Sunscreen - end off story.  I use it as a primer because I like the extra sunscreen, it acts as a bit of a redness corrector and I can wear it alone with concealer.  Here's my reviews of some of the products out there:The BB Cream Bible

Then there are the "natural" or "light" coverage foundations - blah.  You get more out of a BB cream.

The "medium" coverage - which is really what 80% of them are, a true full coverage foundation scares people.

And of course "full coverage"  which pretty much should cover anything and everything and make you all one color. 

Here's a link to 18 Foundation reviews I have done - Click Here


Now as to putting on the foundation - fingers waste a lot of product but work way better than the little triangle sponges.  A brush is really the way to go, the foundation dispenses evenly and you use a lot less product.

So now tell me about your favorite foundation!

Binders full of Foundation!

Hello!
 
I have reviewed many foundations in my time writing this blog and I wanted to put them all together so you could find info on foundation easier.  My favorite kind of foundation is full coverage, because if I am going to put it on, I'm going to PUT IT ON!  I have dry/combination skin, and some redness, so keep in mind if it didn't work for me, it may still be an option for you.


Just click on the name of the fpundation to go to the review-
Here are my favorites first:
Lancome Teint Idol 24Hr - the closest to my skin color by far and it LASTS
Chanel Perfection Lumiere - just beautiful!
Clarins Skin Finish - a surprising great foundation
Urban Decay Naked - great finish
Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish - favorite cream compact foundation

And here's all the other ones in no particular order:
Inglot AMC Foundation
NP Set Memory Foundation
Estee Lauder Invisible Fluid
Revlon New Complexion
Revlon Photo Ready - probably my favorite drugstore foundation
Maybelline Air Foam
Elizabeth Arden's Intervene
Estee Lauder Lucidity
Estee Lauder Double Wear
Clarins Everlasting Foundation
Clinique Superbalance Foundation
Clinique Perfectly Real
Lancome Renergie Lift

And please excuse my goofy faces in all the before and after pictures :)
