Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation
Friday, January 20th, 2012
Since foundation can truly transform the look of your skin, we certainly don’t judge anyone who’s willing to spend a lot on it. We tried Chanel’s latest foundation – Perfection Lumiere. At $55 it’s pricier then many of the foundations we review but we decided to give it a try. It has a very pleasant light fragrance which is a nice touch. Now, does it give you perfect skin like the model in the photo? We found that it does have a perfect mix of a natural finish with full coverage. In other words, you look like you’re not really wearing much makeup but your imperfections are covered. We think it’s most likely the finish to the makeup, which mimics the texture of skin (not too matte, not too dewy). Lumiere Foundation is also available in 20 shades, so more likely than not, they have a shade for you. This is a long-wearing foundation, but if you have oily skin, you may find this not to be so. This foundation doesn’t stop your face from being greasy. So if you have normal to dry skin, we think this is truly an amazing product! Also remember that department store makeup counters are happy to give samples (which is last for a few days to a week) so you can be completely sure before buying. If you have oily skin and want full coverage that lasts all day, we recommend Estee Lauder’s Doublewear foundation. The only thing that stops it from being perfect is that it’s a bit drying, which is a good thing for oily skin.

L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle
Thursday, August 25th, 2011
If you like Maybelline’s Dream Matte Mousse foundation, then you’ll also like L’Oreal’s Magic Smooth Souffle. Similar in texture, it gives the same full coverage. Our favorite part about this makeup is that it makes your skin look flawless, but it actually feels light on the skin. And since this foundation has a great matte finish, you don’t have to worry about using a powder to set it. If you like a more natural coverage, then this foundation isn’t for you. For something lighter, try their True Match Super Blendable Makeup. It’s one of our favorites and you can start out light and build coverage to your taste.

Almay Wake-Up Makeup
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011
If you have dry skin you may shun powders. But Almay’s Wake-Up Makeup is a powder that is ironically hydrating. This mineral foundation uses technology to infuse encapsulated water in loose powder. The formula also contains cucumber, minerals, aloe vera, and green tea extracts to condition the skin. Best of all, this formula is talc-free, so your pores will be safe. We loved the feel of this powder (it has a cooling sensation upon application) and found it to be very similar to Revlon’s Color Stay Aqua Mineral Makeup. If you’re trying to decide between the two we would say choose Almay if you have sensitive or dry skin; and choose Revlon if oily skin is a concern and you want more staying power.
