Makeup Forever HD Foundation

Hey girls! I'm excited to do a review on this foundation that I bought about 2 weeks ago, and its the Makeup Forever High Definition Foundation. Their has been so much hype about this foundation, such as on youtube and magazines.  I truly believe this is a product that you will either completely love or completely hate. In my case its a Love. Anyways this is what it claims:

"HD Foundation combines flawless coverage and an

extremely natural finish. The Sericite contained in HD foundation

hightens the difussion of light and intensifies the glow of the skin.

Enriched with Relipidium, HD Foundation moisturizes and prepares

 the skin for makeup. Its unusually smooth and elastic texture makes it

easy to apply and a pleasure to wear. Skin texture is refined

to give a very natural complexion."

Well let me tell you that so far what it claims to do, it does! The HD part basically is meant to make your skin look flawless and natural in pictures. I found this to be true when me and a friend of mine were taken random pictures of eachother closeup we are both the same color complexion (MAC NC40) and her face was just coming out super ghostly white very unatural, when my face was smooth and true to color. The foundation contains no SPF, its medium coverage and my color is in 153. I have been wearing close to everyday and I really like it probably more than my NARS which I grew to like after sometime, but thats a whole other story. Anyway, I read in last months Allure Magazine that this foundation is a favorite of Kim Kardashian. True or not, being a fan of her skin it convinced me to finally get it. It goes on super light and smooth, very easy to blend. Will not clog your pores. It gives you a very natural make-up finish. Definetly this is a foundation to try so if your interested visit your Sephora and check it out. Runs for about ($40)

Favorite Foundations at the Moment

I first would like to say that in order to keep your foundation looking flawless for a longer period of time, it is best to use a Primer.This will also help fill in large pores (or any small craters if you had acne) it will give you a more smooth look. I will do a review on the Primers that I use on another post.

So I have many different foundations that I like to use. Right now I have 3 favorite that I use depending on what I feel like that day and how much coverage I want. I recommend any of these 3 foundations if you have oily to combination skin and if you would like medium to full coverage. The first being the Revlon ColorStay for combination to oily skin. This foundation has been compared a lot to the MAC Studio Fix, and I would like to say that they really are the same in my opinion. Only difference is one is $29 and the other about $12! They are both medium to full coverage.The only thing about this foundation is it drys pretty quickly so you must work in small sections in order to make it blend and not look "cakey". (I like to apply my foundation with my fingers, or a brush that has synthetic bristles) This foundation also does not come with a pump which sucks because you do waste a lot of product; but I heard their coming out with one that does have one so I'm sure I'll be purchasing that! The color I use is 330 natural tan which is the equivalent if your and NC40 in the MAC Studio fix.  
The next foundation is also a drugstore foundation and I like to use this one when I only want light to medium coverage, such as for the day time or when its hot! (when its SUPER HOT, I skip foundation and just do powder) but I'm really happy with this foundation, and especially for the price. I know its not more than $10 and its the: Rimmel Stay Matte. Again its also oil-free so it wont clog my pores. It also claims to leave your skin shine free for 12 hours but its not true, at least not in my case. I would say it stays shine free for about 3-4 hours. After that I do start to see some shine, but overall its a good foundation and I'm pretty sure I will repurchase it once I'm running low. The color I use is in 200 soft beige.
The last one I'm using alot is by Lancome and its the Teint idole ultra. This one is also medium to full coverage and I love love love the dewy finish it gives me! It looks very natural and I just feel like my face looks airbrushed. This one runs for about $40, but its definitely worth it in my opinion. I like to use this foundation at night or when I wont be able to retouch my makeup for a long time. This one also dries fast so I apply it little by little. My color is bisque 6. Its a little lighter than my usual color only because I bought this foundation before I got so tanned! But I find it still works for me. Remember the key is to blend, blend, blend!
