Battle of the foundations.



'Beauty is power,and make-up is something that really enhances that; its a woman's secret'




These products are my all time favourite high end foundations, they are my go to quick fix but which one rocks my world a little more...

£26.50
The colour I wear is: 'Believe in me' Ivory

After being drawn in by the creative and extravagant displays of the benefit counter, I purchased my first item from them over a year ago. I have gone through 4 of their Oxygen Wow Foundations since then and without fault it has given me the perfect medium coverage without it feeling heavy on my skin and blends in amazingly well. I usually use just one pump with a big fluffy brush and this covers my whole face with ease. The end result leaves me feeling fresh and illuminated, as it seems to brighten my face without making it too oily. This is a perfect everyday foundation, and although it doesn't claim to have long lasting qualities, it really does.



£28.00
The colour is wear is: 1.5

Now what girl hasn't always dreamed about owning something from the MAC range, and like the benefit foundation this was my first purchase from the counter. This product is usually my 'going out' or 'covering up' foundation, as it has an excellent buildable coverage and hides away those pesky spots or blemishes. I wasn't all that convinced with the technology properties its supposed to have, I looked at the colour, then the make-up advisor and thought 'This can't be right', but it really does adapt to the undertones of my skin, providing me with the perfect colour foundation. Madness! I use 1-2 small pumps and apply using a clean flat foundation brush, this way I avoid wastage and it allows me to build on the coverage.




There's so many great qualities in these products that I love, but if I were to be stranded on a desert island...I think I would take the Benefit Oxygen WOW foundation, purely because of the lightweight, easiness of it.

What's your 'Go to' foundation?
