My 4 favourite liquid foundations



I have gone through many foundations, and I've always had trouble finding the right shade foundation, with the right consistency and coverage, but at the moment I have 4 favourites.
 
Yet recently I found my holy grail foundation... for £2.50! You can imagine how happy I was.
I now use W7 Hi Definition Camera Ready Foundation in Buff. This foundation is my go-to foundation, it's got a fantastic coverage, it sets really well and it doesn't slip. It's also light enough to wear in the summer, however this foundation does have problems there, as the shade matches my un-tanned skin to a tee when I get a slight tan I really have to darken my face with bronzer to match it to the rest of my body.

Seeing as how I started with my favourite, I'll go down my list.

My next personal favourite is L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Light Infusing Foundation in Rose Porcelain. This foundation is lovely to wear, it's perfect for when I have a tan, and matches the slight pink undertones I have, without overwhelming the natural tone of my skin. The coverage is brilliant, and can be built up easily. This foundation cost me 9 euros in Munich, I'm not sure what that is in pounds sterling, but it was still affordable. I personally love this foundation, again, it's light enough to wear during summer, and sets lovely.

The first foundation that I ever wore was Natural Collection Colour Foundation in Porcelain, and I recently started using it again. As it is a mineral foundation, it is super light, buff-able and lovely to wear. However the coverage isn't the best, and it's very easy to get tide marks with this foundation. Before I wear it I have to make sure that I've moisturised well and put a decent primer on otherwise I look very oily, very quickly. It has quite a matte finish, and so it doesn't really need setting, but I make sure I powder the areas that have a potential to get oily - just in case.

My last but not least is my Collection 2000 colour Match Foundation in Natural 4. This is my 'fake tanned' foundation, so naturally it's darker. This foundation is great to wear, and gives a really good, natural finish with fairly good coverage that is buildable if necessary. Unfortunately I don't fake tan much anymore, so I don't have as many opportunities to wear it, but if I could, I would. I'm very tempted to go and buy some in a lighter shade to wear everyday.
