Four Foundations For The Girl That Can't Decide..

I don't know about anyone else, but when it comes to makeup, I can never just stick to one product all the time. I do have my holy grail favourites, but I go through phases of changing what I use everyday. I've picked out four foundations that seem to be the main ones I go back to in a bid to find out which is my number one fave.


It Cosmetics CC Cream

This is one of those products that was so hyped up in the beauty world that I almost never bought it purely out of stubornness and not wanting to follow the latest craze. 3 months on from giving in and I've barely used anything else since. You can clearly see how well loved it is from the state of the packaging now ha! It feels like a moisturiser when you apply it because the texture is quite thick but really creamy. I love that it is anti- ageing and really hydrating on the skin, but it doesn't feel heavy at all. I usually use the Spectrum B01 brush but I've recently bought the Huda Beauty Buff/Blend brush so I'll be giving that a whirl this week. I would say the CC cream needs buffing in slightly more than some of my other foundations but it literally lasts me all day, even when Rosie is grabbing my face all the time. I would give this foundation a strong 9/10, it's a hard one to beat!

L'Oreal True Match Foundation

This is my favourite 'throw it on quick while Rosie naps' foundation. It gives full coverage and lasts quite a long time with the right setting powder. I apply it with a brush and then blend it in with a damp Beauty Blender. The finish is lovely and for a tenner this foundation gives higher end brands a run for their money. I would definitely give this an 8/10 my only issue with it is I find it moves around on my skin if I don't set it well enough.



Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

My Mum got me this foundation for Christmas after I'd been going on about it for months. It's one of those foundations that I don't think I could justify having as my everyday one purely because it's expensive and I feel like I use quite a lot with each application. I've been trying to save it for days were I'm actually going somewhere nice and not just to the park etc. It's quite a runny consistency even for a liquid foundation, but the finish is full and airbrushed which I love. I would give this 8/10 but only because it seems to crease around my eyes after a few hours, making me look like I have wrinkly eyes which is never good ha.

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

I originally only bought this because it was on sale on Asos for less than £5, but I ended up repurchasing because I really liked it. The coverage is medium- full depending on how much you apply but it's really easy to build up without it looking cakey. When I wear this I always moisturise my skin and prime it because I feel like it seperates on my skin if it's too dry. I would probably give this 7/10 for that reason but for the price of it I really can't complain!

This is my little army of bases, I will add that I absolutely love Nars Sheer Glow and Luminous Weightless but I've ran out of both. I did used to use Mac Studio Fix every single day but if I did have to choose I'd have to say my go-to now is always the It Cosmetics CC cream because it's just bloody delightful.

Let me know if you recommend trying any other foundations as you can see I'm always up for trying new ones!

Thanks for reading x

  1. I've always wanted to try the Giorgio Armani foundation but wimped out when it comes to the price! I've fallen in love with a Revlon foundation at the moment because it works amazing on my skin, it really does show that drugstore brands are hitting the mark the same as high end brands now though! I'd love to give any of these foundations a twirl they sound great!

    1. Me too Lisa! I was fortunate enough to get the Armani one as a present. The L’Oreal one gives it a run for its money though! Xx

  2. I'd love to try a few of these foundations! I currently only have a nearly empty bottle of Revlon ColourStay, so I might have to purchase one of these to try.

    1. Oh I haven’t tried Colour Stay but I’ve heard good things. It’s always handy having a good drugstore one to hand isn’t it xx

    1. Thanks Sarah! It Cosmetics is still my fave at the moment. I don’t think I’ve tried Lasting Perfection yet! Xx

  6. I swear to god I am such a foundation hoarder - I buy sooooo many new ones but then I always end up using the same few bottles haha. I got extra excited when I saw the Maybelline Fit Me on here though, I just bought a bottle of it yesterday because of all the amazing things I've heard about it! So excited to try it now! Xx

  7. I currently use and love the L'Oréal true match foundation. I have always wanted to try high-end foundations but their prices scare me. Like, what if I spend all this money and it's not actually worth it? Another one you should try is the Revlon Colorstay, I swear by it! xx

    1. I know exactly what you mean Megan! I’m sure I’m the US you can take a product back if you don’t like it, imagine that in the UK it would be so handy! A few people have mentioned Colour Stay, I’m going to have to see what all the fuss is about ha! Xx

    1. I love the Armani one but it does tend to crease under my eyes a bit once I’ve had it on a while. I suppose that could be my powder though. You can’t go wrong with the CC cream though can you! Xx

  9. The Armani foundation is absolutely incredible! I love it!
