The Flawless 3.

Hi guys! 

We all want that flawless foundation, that has great staying power, doesn't patch in the day and leave us looking miserable. So tonight I am bringing you my top 3 foundations of all time! I want to share these with you so that you can share the greatness and maybe even save yourself some money by finding the perfect foundation!

For me personally, I have fair skin- I am cool toned and have a pink undertone to my skin, so I find it difficult to find a foundation that has a perfect match. The 3 that made the cut where, MAC studio fix fluid with SPF 15, NARS Sheer Glow and Revlon Colorstay. 

Lets star the top 3 with my favorite, NARS Sheer Glow. This steals light for me, I get this shade in Light 3, Golbi. The reason I love this foundation so much is because it is so lightweight, it has a medium coverage and just leaves your skin with such a flawless finish. More often than not I like a foundation that gives me a dewy finish and this does, just that! I would recommend this foundation for people who have dry skin, because it gives off a dewy finish. A little on the pricey side, completely worth it though. 

Number 2 would have to be Revlon Colorstay. The first thing I have to say about this is that it is super afforadable! You can purchase this at almost every drugstore, such as Boots and Superdrug. I get this foundation in the shade Ivory 110. The good thing that I found about this foundation is that it comes in a lot of shades and is suited for all skin types as you can get it for, oily skin types, dry or combined skin types, a great selection really! On my paler days this is the best match for me. It has a medium/high coverage  I would say and it is very buildable. However I find when trying to blend this foundation out with a beauty blender it is not as seamless as if you were to blend it with a brush. My brush of preference is the Real Techniques Buffing brush. 

Last but certainly not least is MAC studio fix fluid. I love this foundation and reach for it a lot, however I go through periods of hating it. Sometimes I feel it makes me look really washed out and the colour does not match my skin at all; those days do not last long at all! Maybe it is just me being picky... I get this shade in NC10 which is the lightest shade that they do. There are a lot of varieties of shades in this foundation so it is suitable for a lot of skin types. This foundation has the thickest formula and for that reason it is definitely full coverage. A dupe for this would definitely be the Revlon colorstay, it feels the same when applying and gives a similar finish on the skin. 

I hope that this has give you some insight on some foundations that you may or may not have tried! I would recommend any of these 3, they are great! Let me know what your top 3 foundations are or if you have any recommendations for me?

Zoeva Cocoa Blend Pallette

Before I dive into talking about this eye shadow palette I just want to break down the colours. So on the top row going from left to right we have, Bitter Start, Sweeter End, Warm Notes, Subtle Blend and Beans are white. The bottom row from left to right we have, Pure Ganache, Substitute For Love, Freshly Toasted, Infusion and Delicate Acidity.

I only have good things to say to about this eye shadow palette, I have wanted to try Zoeva eye shadows for a while now and I can say, I will be purchasing more. The pigmentation of these are phenomenal, they have great pay off and next to no fall out when applied to the lid. They have such a buttery texture to them for the price, completely worth the purchase.

All of these shades blend out seamlessly, however i felt as if the darkest shade "Beans Are White" took longer to blend out, never the less, still such a beautiful colour. This palette is defiantly more warm toned and with the choice of mattes and metallic so many eye looks could be made, perfect for the winter months, I would highly recommend this palette and I am excited to try more of the Zoeva palettes.
