HUDA beauty #FauxFilter Full Coverage Matte Foundation $40 is a full coverage foundation with a natural finish and works best for combination to oily skin. For my oily skin I was elated to have one that was tailored to my summer skin type to winter skin type but this one was at best mediocre. This base is full coverage with a natural finish that erases blemishes and skin imperfections in order to create an airbrush finish. Additionally the base is pretty full and I think the added argan oil makes it feel as if it's sitting ton the skin. For it to be a product made for combo to oily skin, I never feel like it truly settles into the skin and you'll feel the weight throughout the day.
The bottle I absolutely despise because you never know how much is left in the bottle. I don't know if the bottle is painted with your selected color match or what but you only know it's over when nothing comes out.
Fenty beauty foundation Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation $35
The color match is by far not what I expected. At first my match wasn't available so I had to wait for the release of the shade 235 and that changed my world. This color match is by far the best because it doesn't change by the hour like it stays true throughout the night. The shade is described as medium skin with warm undertones with a full coverage and a matte finish. It's suitable for normal to oily skin types but I would hesitate on this one if I'm prone to dryness.This one pairs well with any sort of contouring because it holds up well with all the colors without washing out the foundation. Furthermore, it's transfer proof and has a weightless feel on the skin. I think I love the oil-free part about this product and it focuses on pore diffusing.
The bottle maybe the worst one yet, I know it's a glass bottle so you'd think you can tell when you need to re-up but that's not the case. The bottle can lie to you and you'd think everything is over than three months later (if you still have the bottle) foundation comes out and enough for a full face. I just tend to make a note not to toss any bit of it out.
BAREMINERALS BarePRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation $34
Now this one is full coverage, has spf, matte finish and long last-wear. Needless to say its been a super favorite of mine because of all these factors- oh and it's perfect match. I purchased shade "18 Pecan" which is described as medium-tan neutral skin with peach undertones and that's super specific. Their naming is a bit off because medium to tan sounds a but bronzier than I am-but this shade worked the shade name didn't.
It contains bamboo extract which gives a soft focus effect, papaya enzymes which evens the look of skin while product is on and in due time. It's photo-friendly, oil-free and gives full coverage minus the cakeiness. It improves the overall texture of your skin while giving you a flawless finish. Perfect product for anyone with normal to oily skin and I think it's because it has a matte finish but once on your skin it doesn't dry you out.The bottle is pretty classic and super easy to know when times up. The only thing s that I feel as if this product is overseen because there's no quirky gimmick just a great base that makes your skin feel good.
SMASHBOX Studio Skin Full Coverage 24 Hour Foundation $36
Holy grail of full coverage and this tube is a typical squeeze tube so every inch of this can be used. It's sweat-proof, water resistant and has shine control(an oily girl's dream). A little does go a very long way with this one and when selecting your color I'd go one shade warmer. I purchased shade 2.18 which was described as a light medium with a neutral undertone but the "sephora comparison shade game" gave me one that was a bit lighter. For this one I went in store to figure out which worked best because its heavier and there's little wiggle room when a base carries more weight.
It contains kaolin clay with bamboo powder which controls oil and shine, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E oil. This base has weight and is heavy but doesn't appear as though it does. Like your skin won't crease and look as if your base is ready to peal off; it photographs so well (similar to too faced). I love to use it for all night affairs because little touch-ups will be needed.
