Foundation is an essential part of my makeup routine, and honestly it's my favorite part. I love to watch my redness, unevenness and imperfections slowly disappear as I pounce my beauty blender into my skin. Over the years, I've tried a lot of foundation - and I still have a lot more to try. But here are some of my favorites:
MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof $35
This is definitely one of my top go-to foundations. The coverage is incredible and the finish is dreamy. The one downside is that sometimes it can look a little cakey if you don't apply it correctly or put too much on.
Wet n Wild Photofocus
$6
This foundation is literally FIVE dollars, and works like a charm. It doesn't smell the greatest, but it will give you full coverage and a flawless finish.
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear $47
This foundation is smooth, dewey and gives you a very flawless look without making your face look caked on. It says full coverage, but I feel like you have to put an extra layer or two on to make it full full coverage.
Dior Airflash Spray Foundation $62
This is my sacred foundation that I only use for special occasions lol. I'm seriously obsessed and really wish it wasn't so darn expensive. If you are looking for a flawless, dreamy, goddess foundation, look no further.
Sephora Instant Airbrush
$28
This is an older version of the product, but it is definitely one of my favorites. (I'm sure the newer version works just as well) I feel like this is the best dupe I've found for the pricey Dior Airflash Foundation. You can either apply this straight to your face or spray it on a brush and then apply to your face. It does what it says and gives you an airbrushed finish.
Revlon Photoready Airbrush
$10
Similiar to the Sephora Instant Airbrush, this foundation is more of a mouse and will give you a very nice and dewey finish. The coverage is full and the price is right.
Bare Minerals Loose Powder $29
Sometimes, powder foundation is the way to go. I think it all depends on your skin and what season it is (summer/winter). Bare Minerals is light on my skin and never seems to cause any irritation. It doesn't give you that dewey look, but it applies well and won't start to slide off throughout the day.
