Best 5 Foundations – Tested & Tried

Flawless finish has always been my mantra with makeup and nothing matters more than the choice of the right foundation. But since there is so much that goes into choosing the right one, I never take it frivolously. Here is the checklist I follow- it should be the right shade to match my skin tone, give me an awesome coverage and flawless finish, and be good to my skin too.

Well, this makes the choice tricky and so does the fact that there are some amazing options from my favorite brands out there.

With a lot of hit and trial, I have arrived at this list of my hot favorite foundations this season. Let’s check them out.

Pro Longwear Foundation by Mac

I have been using this product for over six years now, which is enough to prove how much I love this one. A creamy foundation, it gives me full coverage and lasts as long as 15 hours, which makes it just perfect for weddings and photo shoots. And the best thing is that it is oil-free and sweat and humidity-resistant as well. For my skin tone, I use NC 40 for winters and NC 42 for summers.

Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15 by Bobbi Brown

While Mac has been in my makeup box for years now, Bobbi Brown is one is my latest favorite. As it claims, this longwear weightless lasts really, really long but feels totally natural…like weightless! It is great for every day long stay looks and I can vouch that because I have worn this from 6 am to 12 o clock at night with no touch-ups and still looking flawless. You can build it from medium to full coverage. My shades are natural tan and warm natural.

Faux Filter Foundation Milkshake 100B by Huda Beauty

This one became a huge rave right from the day it hit the shelves and I could not just resist the temptation to try it. And I am glad that I did because it blends seamlessly with my skin to offer me great coverage for special occasions. It gives heavy coverage but the consistency is really good.

Baklava is the shade that works for me and as with all other Huda products I’ve used till date, this one too does not disappoint.

Power Play Foundation by Cover FX

This is a brand I’ve tried recently and I’d say that I am pretty impressed by the products. The Power Play Foundation offers medium coverage which you can build to get a natural finish. In fact, this is the reason that I have started using it as one of my everyday foundations currently. My shade is G50. Interestingly, their website has a quiz that helps you find the right shade based on the brand shade of foundation that you are using currently. This feature saves time for busy bees like us as we need not test on the counter and can find the right one with just a few clicks.

Huda Beauty FauxFilter Foundation Swatch – Baklava 340G

It is perfectly blended with a high percentage of ultra-refined pigments, which evens the skin texture and also diminishes the redness, thereby, creating a flawless and matte finish. It is made of argan oil and centella asiatica, both of which are known their hydrating propertiers. Argan Oil contributing to healthy side by providing protective and making a nourishing cover over the skin.

Though it is thick creamy, but it spreads out easily. Work fast with it as it dries out quickly. #FauxFilter perfectly creates skin colour mask for your skin.
