I personally like lighter foundations that I can build coverage with. Many people like a full coverage foundation. Some of those people just like the look of "foundationed" skin even if they have nothing to cover up. My latest foundation love is from NARS. They have 3 formulas; Sheer Glow, Sheer Matte and Skin Firming. Sheer Glow has a dewey finish, Sheer Matte has a matte finish and Skin Firming has firming peptides that helps reduce the look of creases associated with aging. Glow and Matte comes in 20 shades and Firming comes in 16 shades (beautiful deeper shades.) I like the Sheer Glow and Skin Firming foundations. They give me a natural looking coverage, brightens and goes on easily with my fingers. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything. If you insist on using a brush, it works well with an air brush (Sephora makes one) that buffs it on. If I haven't tried it on you yet, check it out for yourself. Everyone that tries it, buys it!
A tinted moisturizer that I like is from Tarte. It's a naturals line and it has a beautiful dewey finish that I like.
My favorite foundation tools are my fingers. I use brushes and sponges too, but on my own face, I always use fingers. I like being able to control how much goes on and how your fingers warms the product to blend easily. I start in the middle of my face and blend out, adding in areas that needs a little extra love. You always want to set your foundation with a powder. I like setting mine with NARS powders or HD powder.
I will do more product reviews and pictures later. Feel free to ask me about other foundations I like because there are many.

GURL I don't know for sure, but I worry the firming is going away!! I know they don't sell them at Sephora anymore... I LOVE all things NARS, as you know :) but the Firming is different. Like I have to move fast because it starts to set and firm the instant it hits your face and looks streaky for me! Nw grant it, its the foundation I keep in my gym bag so I am using it in terrible light, but still-I don't usually have to work that hard!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely have to add my two favs- Hourglass and Laura Mercier Creme Smooth. Both made for a dry skin type and STUNNING! Anti aging, Perfect foundations in my opinion. Like-I obsess.
I love all things Emma! LOVE Hourglass!!! I think you're right about no more firming. Firming was the one foundation people always asked me about when I was wearing it. I like how Hourglass and Laura M looks on other people but not on me. Are you a brush or finger girl Emma? Primer or no primer?
