Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
I've been using this foundation for probably about a year now and I can honestly say it's one of the best drugstore/pharmacy foundations out there. It's a perfect everyday foundation for light to medium coverage. The formula is very light and blends very easily on the skin and it doesn't even feel like you're wearing foundation which is always good. The finished look leaves skin looking radiant with just the right amount of coverage for any blemishes or uneven skintone. The best thing about this foundation is it's lasting power! It really does last all day, there's no catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and realising that your foundation has disappeared from half your face. There are 12 shades in the range(think there may be more in the US)so it's not hard to find one that's the right fit for you. I use the shade 120 which I find to be just right for my skintone. Oh and I almost forgot it has the all important SPF in it and SPF 18 at that which is great for everyday to protect that lovely skin of yours.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
This is a recent enough addition to my foundation collection but it has been getting quite a lot of use lately. Similar to the Fit Me it is perfect for light coverage however it does build up nicely if you need more coverage. The light gel texture blends into the skin so easily and is really good for when you're having a good skin day. It works best for me with just one pump blended evenly over the face, I find it evens out any redness very nicely and leaves a beautiful fresh finish. It feels really nice on the skin, not oily or greasy and once blended in it really does not look like you're wearing foundation. It has more of a finish of BB cream but with the benefit of a little bit more coverage. Now there are only 6 shades to choose from in this range, so it might be more difficult to find one that suits you, but I use the shade 53 which I find to be quite a good match. It lasts very well throughout the day once you set it with powder and overall it is a great summer foundation.

Love, Love, Love this foundation!! This has been getting a bit of a revival lately since it was revealed that it was the foundation Kim Kardashian wore on her wedding day. I'm a fan of all things urban decay and have been using this foundation for about 2 years now. For the most the part I use this foundation when I'm going out at night and I want something that will stay put no matter what. It has a very thin liquid consistency that is super easy to blend and is great for layering up which is why I use it for a more full coverage night time look. The coverage it gives is just perfect and even if you have to layer it up a bit it still looks quite natural and gives a lovely polished, almost airbrushed look to the skin. The lasting power is brilliant it always lasts all night so even if it's 4 in the morning and you're tucking into a burger your skin will still look flawless :) I cannot recommend this enough it's perfect for a night out or for an event such as wedding or graduation where you want that bit more coverage and a beautiful lasting finish. There are 18 shades to choose from in this range so you will almost definitely be able to find a suitable shade. I use the shade 4.0 which is quite a bit darker than my regular foundation shades however because I usually use it when I'm going out or to an event it is the perfect shade for when I'm all tanned up.
I'd love to hear your top foundation picks so let me know in the comments below :)
Until next time!
