My Holy Grail Foundation
Foundations are something I have generally had a hate/hate relationship with in the past. With a clear, generally even complexion foundation doesn't really have much to offer, and in some cases it even made my skin look worse. My sister pestered me to try MAC's Face and Body and physically had to drag me to the MAC counter to pick up a sample because she knew it was exactly what I was looking for.
This is an ultra thin, yet very buildable, foundation. It's perfect for everyday wear but also, when layered and paired with the spot-concealing method, can create the most beautiful, flawless finish. It is a great one to have in your collection as it really is a foundation for all occasions and you don't have to think about it. There's no SPF, it's buildable and is as easy to apply as a BB cream.
What this foundation does so well is enhance the texture of the skin no matter what your skin is doing that day while also leaving it looking exactly like skin. Some foundations leave my moisturised and plump feeling skin looking dryer than it did to begin with, let alone when I have dryer areas. Because this foundation is water based, it leaves a really dewey finish that I usually like to powder down, and sometimes even add more coverage to with a powder foundation, but when I am feeling a glowy look I just powder the t-zone and it looks stunning.
I highly recommend this to anyone, except those who are really looking for that full, flawless coverage, as I do find my freckles show through no matter how much I layer this. This is the answer to all the BB lovers like me who haven't had much luck with foundation.
What is your holy grail foundation?
I bloody love this stuff! Wouldn't go without it! I don't wear foundation on a daily basis but when I do, I hate that my skin no longer looks like skin. With this stuff it does though! Love it!

Being able to cover imperfection while still having my freckles show through is clutch for me!

Definitely! This foundation really does just look like skin. x
ReplyDeleteIt really is amazing! x
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly why I love it! x
ReplyDeleteAw, your sister is awesome. I def have to check this one out, never gave it much thought before.
ReplyDeleteThat's the nice review. I haven't tried MAC foundation, but this one sounds interesting as I love light foundation and BB cream. Currently I'm using Le Teint Touche Eclat from YSL.
ReplyDeleteFirst time reading your blog and simply love the beauty review :) Keep in touch!

I've not tried this foundation yet but have been meaning to pick one up. It's on my wish list. Lovely review, I love a foundation that gives a full coverage so must treat myself to it. Thanks for the great review x

I've heard so many great things about this one, but I haven't tried it yet! Sheer and buildable sounds like my thing. I still can't get used to most full-coverage foundations. To be honest I don't think I've ever tried one on!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try this for SO long, really need to give it a go! Currently I'm loving the Clinique Beyond Perfecting foundation and it's fabbb!

I've been using Mac since three years but recently switched to L'oreal. Having different look now but pleasant as well. Both brands are worthy.
ReplyDeleteTry this one too:

I know she's a babe! x
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about it! x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment! This is very similar to a BB cream, but just that little bit more coverage. I definitely recommend it. x
ReplyDeleteNo problem! x
ReplyDeleteI can't get used to full coverage either! This one is a really great one because you can sheer it out for the day and get a medium coverage at night. x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a go! I'm sure you'll love it. x
ReplyDeleteMACs colour selection really is the best! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a go if you like the sounds of it! It's amazing. x
ReplyDeleteIt's so, so lovely! The sheer but buildable coverage is exactly what I was looking for. x
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should! There seems to be one for everyone, whether you want a sheer or fuller coverage. x
ReplyDeleteThis stuff was made by the angels, I'm sure of it!

I've heard so many amazing things about this! I have to go get colour-matched!

Such a lovely foundation, it was the only foundation I used to wear! xo
ReplyDeletefor all the people who have raved about this foundation, i've still never tried it myself. i think what happend was before i was ever into makeup properly i just used MAC studio fix and then when i discovered the big wide world of beauty and all the other options that are out there i decided i didn't care about MAC all that much, but i really should give some of their other bases a shot - more specifically this one, since i never really hear a bad word about it.

I have never tried any Mac foundation! This is something to look out for in the future! I have always been using my bourjois healthy mix foundation! :) x

I love this foundation, it's my go-to for clients and myself :)

I totally agree! The finish is literally heavenly. x
ReplyDeleteThis one is super easy to get colour matched too, it just sinks into the skin perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteI feel like it's going to be the only one I wear for a long, long time. x
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about MAC, I'm not really one to fuss over it, but the thing about this foundation is that there isn't really anything like it available at the drugstore so it is definitely worth picking up. x
ReplyDeleteI feel like this would be something you like then, as it's the same kind of texture just a little thinner! x
ReplyDeleteIt's perfection! x
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute! x
ReplyDeleteI love this foundation!!!

I've been in a desperate need of getting my hands on the MAC foundation but whenever I need a new one it just slips my mind! I must remember next time!
