Last night was Poker Night, so naturally the conversation turned to make up between us ladies in attendance. And you can guess it-- the illusive question was asked "what is your favorite foundation?"
So here they are, my longstanding favs:
The reigning champ has to be the Mat Velvet Plus by Make Up Forever
If you are in search of a full coverage foundation, you need this in your life! Don't be fooled by the "mat" in the title, this is not just for those with oily skin. I can tell you that this is more a description of the finish vs. the formula. It's very bendable {I recommend applying with this brush} and a little dab will do ya! The finish is smooth, and satiny. This is great stuff ladies, for young and mature skin.
Now, in the summertime, hopefully we all are a bit more bronzed and don't require so much shellac on the face. My pick for the warmer months{and in the colder ones when I want less coverage} is the NARS Sheer Glow foundation.
It's all in the name-- this is a sheer to moderate coverage foundation. Perfect for achieving that dewy finish with a glow. I apply it with my hands and blend it in well then set with a translucent, finely milled powder. It's fantastic! You really can't go wrong with any products from NARS.
Finalement, the most versatile foundation I have used to date is another gem by Make Up Forever, the Face and Body foundation.
I first discovered this when I was taking classes in the city. I quickly fell in love, and it is now a staple in my professional kit. If you want to purchase a foundation that can achieve the coverage of say, a tinted moisturizer{perfect for those last Sunday's} but also can be layered to a full coverage foundation, here it is. The consistence is slippery and gel like, making it a breeze to apply and very easy to work with in thin layers to build up to that full coverage. It's is also water resistant and very long wearing. What more could you ask for!
Now go put your face on girls!
