Foundation Heaven


Since we're 3 girls with different skin types, our foundation choices are definitely not the same. 

Foundation and more foundations! 
Here are our favorite foundations:(from left to right)
Make Up Forever HD Invisible Color Foundation
Elf Cosmetics Flawless Finish Foundation
Loreal True Match
Dior "Diorskin Forever" Flawless Perfection Wear Makeup
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Frankie Rose Matte Perfection Foundation
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse
Frankie Rose Matte Perfection Foundation


1)  Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: Definitely a MUST try. The Giorgio Armani foundation is all over the makeup world and is an obsession of many top make up artists. While it can be a bit pricy at $62 per bottle, there's quite a good amount in there. At the same time, this foundation can be a bit heavy and thick for the daytime, and is more appropriate for night time. It's very silky and provides medium to full coverage based on the amount you use. We wouldn't recommend it for those with blemishes because it doesn't seem to cover blemishes too well. They also have a good selection of colors that matched our skin spot on.

Price: $62
Overall: thick & creamy, sheer with little amount used, medium to full coverage
Who we don't recommend it to: oily skin


2)  Frankie Rose Matte Perfection Foundation: silk on silk on silk! This foundation is a hidden gem within the make up industry. It's quite similar to the Giorgio Armani but half the price. I also really enjoyed the colors that they provide, and mix two of them together to get the perfect skin match.

Price: $32
Overall: creamy & light, full coverage, very pigmented


3) Make Up Forever HD Invisible Color Foundation: A staple to many makeup artists, the Make Up Forever Foundation has been the go to foundation for a while now. This foundation is mainly known for the results that show up through an HD lens (pictures). Although we like this foundation, (and they provide 26 different shades!) we found it difficult to find the perfect color to match our skin tones. 

Price: $42
Overall: slightly thick & creamy, full coverage, very pigmented

4) Maybelline Fit Me Foundation: Dupe Alert! Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is our top pick for drugstore foundation. This no oil or wax foundation is the perfect foundation for a natural wedding look or night out in town. It provides medium to full coverage without making your face look cakey (nothing worst than looking like you have pounds of makeup on)! A little definitely goes a long way with this foundation. If you tend to be on the oily side, it is recommended to apply a translucent powder to set this foundation. With the price tag at $7.99, it's hard not to give this beauty must-have a try! 

Price: $4.99-$7.99


5) Loreal True Match: If you still haven't given the Loreal True Match a try, you're missing out. This foundation can go on pretty light and sheer if a small amount is used. Also, don't expect full coverage rather a light and more dry finish. All 3 of us have tried this foundation, but one of us didn't like the finish it gave, so it's probably not going to be loved by everyone but it's worth the try.

Price: $9.99
Overall: light coverage & thin consistency, medium coverage
Buy it here: Loreal True Match
