Finding your favorite foundation can be a challenge. A good foundation is something that is really important to me. It has to not only work with your skin type and tone, but also have the coverage that you’re looking for as well as the lasting power to make it through your entire day. I have had my fair share of bad foundations and throughout my trial and error I have found the 5 that always work for me.
The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is one I’ve already talked about here but it is truly my favorite foundation. It has so much coverage in just a few swipes and I think the formula and finish would work for just about everyone. The Hourglass Vanish Stick comes in 32 different shades and has a full, natural finish to it. This is my favorite foundation to layer with because it gives so much coverage and works really well blended with other ones. If you are thinking about purchasing this foundation, I would say go ahead and try it I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
The Cover FX Power Play Foundation is another one of my favorites at the moment. I use this in combination with the Hourglass Vanish Stick every day (see my every day makeup routine here) and I love how they layer together. The Cover FX Power Play Foundation comes in 40 different shades and has a full coverage, matte finish. I really love this foundation and I am so happy I picked this one up. This foundation, according to the Sephora website, says that it helps to control shine and defend against pollution which is great! If you are looking for a new full coverage, matte foundation I say check this one out!
The Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hour Hydrating Foundation is one that used to be my all time favorite. I’ve gone through 3 of these bottles, that’s how much I love it. I haven’t used this in a while though because in the summer my skin is really oily so I mainly use this in the Fall/Winter when my skin is on the dry side. This foundation has a nice medium coverage with a natural finish which is nice when you don’t want a super full coverage look. I highly recommend this foundation if you are looking for a new one and don’t like a ton of coverage.
The NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is another one I’ve repurchased multiple times. I actually really like this one in conjunction with the Smashbox one! This foundation has a full coverage, natural finish to it and I love it in the Fall/Winter. The Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation comes in 34 shades and is transfer and sweat resistant. I just noticed that on the Sephora website it says not to use a primer with this one, which is strange to me but worth a try! Overall I say if you are looking for a new foundation, this one won’t disappoint.
Last but not least, the Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation is the last favorite I’m sharing with you today. I already have a full review on it here so I’ll keep this short. I really like this foundation because it has a full coverage, matte finish and is super affordable! This foundation would work great with the L’Oreal Full Wear Concealer (which I compared to Tarte Shape Tape here) as it is also full coverage and affordable. You don’t have to break the bank to have great makeup!
