foundation reviews
this is from a cool blog which i accidentally find it. so sometime, i just loook at her blog n c any nice updates. :)
Rimmel Lasting Finish Liquid
One of the top drugstore foundations. This foundation works on most skin types, oily, dry, to normal, n if you are looking for a stronger coverage with longer lasting abilities, this foundation is for you. The coverage is very good, it can cover up dark circles and blemishes very well. It blends wonderfully and gives a smooth finish. Limitation is the color selection. This foundation can settle into fine lines and in a humid climate, it can slip off easily.
L'Oreal True Match Liquid
L'Oreals top foundation, this is department store worthy. This has a more of a medium coverage, it's very buildable and blends beautifully. It has a very matte finish, not for dry skin. Recommend if you want a very buildable foundation and have oily to normal skin. You can see that it comes with this awesome transparent color selector, where you place this sheet over your skin, and the color patch that matches and blends the most invisible to your skin color is the color that you should select.
L'Oreal Visible Lift Line-Minimizing Oily Skin
This foundation softens fine lines beautifully, and does not settle into the lines or pores. The coverage is light to medium, and it has a powdery finish, so it's perfect for oily skin.
L'Oreal Bare Naturale Mineral Foundation
The coverage is excellent, you need just a little and it can double up as a concealer and it's very buildable. The color selection is wonderful, but the built in brush is poor quality. I recommend purchasing a separate brush for this foundation. Surprisingly, this foundation is excellent for both oily and dry skin. Bare Naturale is the best drug store mineral foundation.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Liquid
The liquid is wonderful for those who have oily skin, the coverage is medium. This gives a dewy finish without giving you that greasy look. Recommend L'Oreal if you are opting for anti aging.
Maybelline Pure Makeup Liquid
This is one of the best for oily skin. This product is oil free and is 50% water and provides great hydration. It has a medium coverage and has a matte finish. Recommend this product for people with oily skin during the summer, very similar to Clinque's foundations. Very light and clean with a natural finish.
Revlon ColorStay Makeup Dry Skin Liquid
This is one of Revlon's top selling foundation, their color stay line. It provides a medium to full coverage and gives a satin finish. It has SPF 15 and provides both yellow and neutral undertones. This is very long wearing, with little to no touch ups. Blending with this foundation is a bit difficult, you can't use a sponge. I use a brush and stipple the foundation instead because if you don't stipple it, it will look streaky unless you spend a few extra minutes carefully blending it away. Regardless, a top notch foundation from Revlon. Revlon provides to both oily and normal skin. So make sure you choose the right formula for your skin type. Hands down one of the best drug store foundations, it's right up there with the higher end products.
Revlon ColorStay Active Light Liquid
This foundation is perfect for those who are going clubbing or prom and need extra oil and sweat control. This foundation is water resistant, compare to Clinique's superfit. The coverage is medium and it blends decently. You may find yourself blending it a bit longer than other foundations, but it's worth it because the finish is dewy. I found that this product would work great for people who have oily skin to normal to dry skin.
Sally Hansen Airbrush Spray Makeup
The coverage is light to medium and is very buildable and very easy to blend. It gives you skin that satin look, and feels very light, like you are not wearing any foundation at all. This product is paraben free and is hypo allergenic, but they did add fragrance, which I am not a fan of. Compare this to Dior air flash, but at the fraction of the cost. You spray this foundation on your hand, and with a brush, apply it accordingly. So this is hands down my favorite foundation at the moment.
