Best and worst Foundations!


Hey Guys hope your doing well, so in today's post i'm going to be taking about which foundations/tinted moisturizers are good or bad and which suits different types of skin types. I will start with the foundations i love and gradually to the ones i hate. Hope you enjoy!!!! ebony xoxox

This foundation is my life i love it i bought it around a month ago and used it ever since . this foundations glides smoothly onto the skin covering pores,acne scars, redness and spots (i have all of these) my skin is pretty bad but with this i look so much better id say this foundation is medium coverage and lasts quite a long time. this foundations smells amazing too which is due to the fruit in it hence healthy mix i would defiantly recommend this and its quite cheap you can buy this from any where that sells bourjois!!!!

This foundation is amazing for long lasting through out the day my skin is quite oily so this is a saint  to me it last me through the average 6 hr school day and till the evening when  i remove my make up Revlon also make this foundation for dry to normal skin but mine is oily/combination this is good because it gives you the option for what skin type you are.This foundation covers up any imperfections that you may have. this foundation is full coverage so i don't wear it every day but is great for those special events when you can really dress up and want flawless skin. The only thing i don't like about this is the fact it doesn't have a  pump which means when you pour this out you waste quite a bit of product but overall a great foundation. you can buy this from anywhere that sells Revlon!!!

NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Id heard lots of the american beauty gurus talking about this and i didn't think it would be released in the uk for months but when i was in superdrug i spotted it and i had to have it. i've only had this a few days so i cant really go into a great in depth review but i can say my first impression is good its light to medium coverage defiantly build able . the staying power is okay but i haven.t tried it long enough to have a clear view of what this foundation is like but so far i like i dont think it will be my top foundation but its defiantly pretty good id say this is more a summer foundation rather than winter because it is that little bit lighter coverage!

WOW!! This foundation is amazing for its value  this is one of the cheapest foundations i own but by far one of the best  this foundation is really nice to get a natural look it smooths on to the skin and covers blemishes and redness id really recommend this for a girl who's on a budget because you  cant beat it. This foundation lasts about a whole school day so about 6 hr now i know that doesn't sound much but what do you expect for a cheap foundation  it would probably last longer if you reapply powder through out the day but i  don't mind if my foundation goes because for school it doesn't really matter. This foundation can be bought at any aldi stores unfortunately i don';t have a link for it.

This foundation is great for a very matt and full  coverage look this will really last all day. This foundation has lots of pros and cons...
Pros:lasts a long time , matt , full coverage , good for nights out, has spf 15
Cons: can look orange if you dont get the right colour, doesnt come with a pump you have to buy it separate,  little bit pricy
Overall i do like this foundation but the thing is i cant wear this in winter because id look like a oompa lumpa as i have the wrong colour its okay in the summer when im slightly tanner but i would repurchase this but next time get the right colour. Thats the main thing i dont like about this if this was a better colour id probably be using this every day!!

This foundation i have had for over 1 year and  its nearly at the end of its life  i have very little left of it :(  but i do quite  like this foundation it has good coverage and applies quite nice the reason im not too fond of this is because i just really prefer liquid  foundation im just that type of gal but this foundation is good for concealing under the eyes as it is high coverage and will cover dark circles. Because i have oil skin i tend to stay away from these types of foundations because they always seem to just slide off my face and this is what happened in this case. this foundation would be great it you had normal to combination skin.

This foundation i do like but this is defiantly a summer foundation because i think the coverage is quite light it feels nice on the skin it feels light and fresh it gives a nice dewy look. the thing i don't like about this foundation is when i start to blend it in it starts to feel dry and not very moisturizing and i also bought the wrong colour for me to wear this in the winter so i will have to save this until its summer.

Well old friend!!!
This was my first real foundation when i started applying makeup  properly and was great for me then as a beginner so i would really recommend this to any one who is just starting out with makeup! this foundation applies nice it doesnt last very long despite been 14 hr long wearing. i wouldnt personally use this foundation now i know more about make up but its great if you cannot be bothered to wear much makeup and you want a little bit extra coverage!

this tinted moisturizer is great in the summer for a nice light coverage and with the spf youll be protected really well this tinted moisturizer would be nice if your going to the beach and you want a little bit of coverage but you dont want to have a full face of makeup on. the reason i dont like this is because it makes e look very orange so i only tend to wear this when im more tan but its okay i wouldnt repurchase this.
cannot remember price

This foundation i really don't like this thing dries my skin  out so bad and leaves patches all over my face i really would not recommend this because it looks patchy and cakey. this is also  really hard to blend into  the skin as it dries quick so you have to work  with it quickly this is a thumbs down from  me
