Full Coverage Foundations #3 | Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

Back when I was on accutane - a acne medication for severe acne - my face obviously broke out to the max! Going through bottles of ''full coverage foundation'' and none of them really gave me the satisfaction, I cam across this little number. 

This to me is my all time favorite full coverage foundation. A little goes a long way and its very pigmented, great for covering redness and imperfections. This was my go to foundation whilst on that medication simply because how it didn't irritate my skin, didn't brake me out, covered all my acne and was very long lasting! 

Being a mousse texture foundation it's easy to blend and instantly gives a full coverage. It does has a slight fragrance to it but you can not smell it once it's on your face. Another good point is that this foundation has a satin finish. Great for those with dry skin! 

Available in 10 shades this retails for £34 and you can get it here 

Have you tried this foundation? Let me know! 

Until next time

Full Coverage Foundations #2 | Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation

The 2nd blog post about full coverage foundation features this little number. Tarte has been one of the most talk about brands in the last 2 years, and their 12 Hour Amazonian Clay foundation has been one of their best selling products. 

Being Tarte this foundation is very friendly to the skin. Using natural ingredients and has an SPF of 15 it doesn't go wrong for the skin. It's a semi-matte, buildable and has 16 shades to choose from. 

Again with this foundation is had a mousse, thick texture to it but when applied it turns out smooth and silky. It's defiantly on the medium to full coverage. For example, if using a beauty blender to apply you will get full coverage but applied with a brush you will get medium coverage. 

This is a great foundation if you have oily or normal skin. My combination skin did not like this. It showed dry patches on my skin and left my nose oily. I have to say that the power stay it great it did not come off after wearing it for 12 hours. I did find that I could feel this foundation on me. But I am really impressed with their colour range! 16 shades with cool, neutral and warm tones! Brilliant! 

You can get this foundation if your from the UK here for £32.50 

Overall I would't buy this again for me. My skin and this foundation just doesn't go well. 

Have you tried this foundation? What do you think about it? Do you want it? Let me know! 

Until next time

Full Coverage Foundations #1 - Vitchy Dermablend Foundation

Full coverage foundations are my life. I just love how handy they are for covering my scared skin from acne. Even though getting a full coverage foundation might be scary for some, how much is enough? Buildable? Cakey? Once you get a real good foundation you'll never look back. 

Let's start with the acne friendly one. This Vitchy Dermablend Foundation changed my life. It's a friendly foundation to those who have sensitive and acne skin. You only need a pea size amount of this and it will cover any imperfections. It also last up to 16 hours, although I would say more like 10 hours. It has ''Soft Focus'' effect on the skin to make it look flawless. And lastly it gives you a natural satin finish. 

The foundation has a mousse, thick look to it. Like Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation and Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. 

The downfall of this is the colour range. There are only 5 shades available. And most are dark. I have the lightest shade - 15 Opal - And I have to wear fake tan with it or else I can not pull it off. 

It ranges for about £16.00 in selective stores.
