Best Foundations/Tinted Moisturizers

Here is a quick review of some of my favorite foundations, as well as tinted moisturizers if you're looking for a little less coverage.

First is Mac's Studio Moisture Tint with SPF 15. This is pretty light coverage since it is a tinted moisturizer, but it is good for just simply evening out your skin tone. It comes in a number of shades from Light to Deep Dark. It has a smooth application and a nice clean scent. The scent is actually one of my favorite parts because it just smells clean and natural. I like this in the summer when your skin feels good enough where you just need tinted moisturizer and not so many layers. Also, its good for people just starting out with makeup who want a natural look that still does the job right.  

Next is Neutrogena's Skin Clearing Liquid Makeup. This also gives a natural look with a bit more coverage. This foundation is formulated with salicylic acid which will work towards clearing your skin while you wear the makeup. This is also good for people who may not neccisarily have an acne problem but just want a liquid makeup that isn't going to break you out. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality drug store foundation that does wonders for your skin. (And yes, it actually works like it says it does!)

Next is Bare Minerals and there is a lot of speculation about this system because many people don;t believe that a powder foundation can offer you the coverage you need. Bare Minerals does offer a fairly good amount of coverage without looking like a powder face. You begin with the foundation powder, then finish with the mineral veil. The mineral veil is the real secret weapon of this system because while it wasn't made to offer any real coverage, it is applied to eliminate any excess oil. This allows your makeup to stay much longer then it would have if you just used the foundation. The system can be a bit pricey, and it's definitely one of those things where either you love it or you hate it. I think the best part about this system is how good it is for your skin. It's so light on your skin and doesn't cause you to break out. 

Finally, is Maybelline's Dream Liquid Mousse. I personally agree with Maybelline's statement that it's like airbrush perfection. This foundation comes in a glass pump bottle and in my opinion it's absolutely amazing. I find that it really does perfect your skin and feels fairly light on the skin. It's very easy to get, and not too pricey. It's a great drugstore foundation.

That's all for now,
