The Perfect Foundation

Like many women, I feel like I am on the constant quest to find THE perfect foundation. I just want a foundation that makes my skin look flawless and smooth, has the ability to last from dawn till midnight and yet manages to make me look like I’m wearing nothing at all. Is that too much to ask?!

The answer is probably yes.

However, despite my numerous voyages into foundation brands, I always go back to Estée Lauder’s double wear. With the unfortunate complexion of a ghost, it’s a nightmare to find foundations that suit my skin tone, yet double wear, with its vast array of shades, manages to do just that. Not only that, but it doesn’t rub on on every surface known to man -ehem clinique- and genuinely lasts all day.

It also covers everything, and I’m talking everything. As a freckled red-head, coverage is definitely a must and double wear really is amazing for this.

However, as England edges its way slowly into summer (sort of), I find less and less that I want such a matt and complete coverage. Bring on the light and dewey on the look!

And thus my journey led me to Revlon Photoready foundation. I tend to be a bit suspicious of budget cost foundations (they tend to make me resemble an orange more than a human behind) but this product really was a surprise. Not only does it have my shade -hoorah!- but it is pretty good coverage and yet manages to be both light and dewey. It’s not drying either and although it doesn’t last as long as double wear, it comes pretty close.

For only £12.99 this product is definitely a recommendation for me, earning a well-deserved place in my makeup bag.

Who am I?

So this is the all intimidating first post!

After years of lurking on beauty blogs, I have finally created my own. A self-confessed makeup addict, I will be exploring anything beauty related, reviewing all my favourite products and sharing my monthly favourites. As well as high end products, I will also be discussing budget ones.

Admittedly, as my attention span leaves much to be desired, I will occasionally lapse into my everyday life so if you stick with me, brace yourself!
