Beauty Bazaar: The Ace of Base


Napolean Perdis China Doll
This product was absolutely awesome! It has a simple application method, much like other foundations, but it was more smooth than most. When applied to the skin it was easy to rub in and left a streak-free finish. I found that although it was smooth, its coverage was great, and there was no need for concealer. It also had an oil-free appearance, and left the skin soft and natural looking. Though it may cost more than others, it is well worth it!

Good match to skin tone, blended in very well and evenly without using too much. It lasted well throughout the night, and felt smooth and nice. My absolute favourite as it didn't feel heavy and was very natural looking People commented on how great my complexion looked when I used this foundation.

Artistry Abolute Oil Control
What’s worse than being cursed with an oily face? Being cursed with those annoying lumpy bumps, of course! How would you describe pimples? Squeezable? Lumpy? I would personally describe it as annoying and a DISASTER (especially when it comes around to a hot date or an A-lister party)! That’s where Artistry’s Absolute Oil-Control Foundation steps in to save the day (not to mention your reputation)! It’s great for oily complexions, and covers up pimples evenly leaving a natural, non-oily and pimple-free look (whilst leaving any signs of those humiliating foundation streaks). It also blends in well with any skin type, and lasts quite a while! Additionally, I have discovered another plus side… it rids your face of oil after being removed! How totally fab is that! Nevertheless, for people who are fortunate enough to not have been cursed with an oily face or lumpy pimples… it does a divine job in giving you a more or less flawless complexion and natural tone! Whoever said heaven didn’t exist must sure regret it now!

The name says it all! No shine whatsoever. It is extremely lightweight so you hardly notice it is on. A little bit goes a very long way!

Designer Brands Oil Free Foundation
This foundation does match my colour and is great! Because it is oil free it is thin and the coverage is awesome! It looks almost invisible. I like the fact that it is oil free because thick, gluggy makeup is what you don’t want. I don’t love the packaging because when you pump it you might want only a small amount and it squirts out a large amount. However, this is my favourite among the three.It’s not like other foundations that come out too quickly or runny. It went on smoothly and stayed on all day. It didn't look blotchy and looked really natural but still covered blemishes and gave a nice colour tone to my face. I didn’t feel that this one was as thick as the others, which was good. I’d be sure to use this one again.

Rimmel Cool Matte
Rimmel Cool Matte was my favourite foundation. It gave a good natural finish and pretty good coverage. It feels really light on the skin and wears well. It may be a bit hard to blend well but has a nice smell. Try not to apply to thick.

Physicians Formula Mineral
The sponge top made this foundation easy to apply, but it does take some getting used to. The colour and coverage were good once you work out the sponge, but it did leave me a little streaky and you could tell where it didn't work right. It is good if you’re sensitive to make up or got acne prone skin. It lasted a fair while and it wasn’t very noticeable. This is a nice light foundation, that’s good if you’ve got bad skin.

Body Shop Moisture Foundation
This foundation felt more like a moisturiser. It didn't cover up as much as thick foundation would, but was nice and light and moisturised my skin. It would probably last you a while because only a little is needed to cover your whole face. It's also SPF 15 so it's great for everyday wear.

Benefit Some Kind of Gorgeous Foundation Faker
This would have to be one of my favourites mostly because it had such a soft feel to it. The coverage was excellent and also looked very natural. Very cute packaging – looks like an old record player - and it came with a sponge. This product was very thin so you needed to apply a lot to get the desired look. Overall, fantastic.
