Foundation Cheat Sheet

Let's talk Foundation my friends! 

If you've been following me on Sparkle & Sass or Instagram you know I am a foundation fanatic. 

I LOVE when a brand comes out with a new foundation for me to try. 
Recently, I have had people ask me advice on foundation and I know how difficult it can be. 
So...I've put together a Foundation "cheat sheet" for you all. 

I separated the foundations by skin type.

Dry Skin

Smashbox - medium to full coverage [my day to day foundation]

Clinique - medium to full coverage, dewy finish

Laura Mercier - medium coverage, dewy finish 

Estee Lauder - full coverage [Love this one too!]

Airflash - ultimate coverage [Always my favorite for special occasions-worth the money]

Giorgio Armani - full coverage, luminous finish [new weekend foundation]

Combo Skin

Cover Fx - full coverage, natural finish 

Urban Decay - full coverage, matte finish 

MUFE - light to medium finish, natural to dewy finish 

Lancomé - medium to full coverage, luminous finish [I use to wear this religiously]

Oily Skin

Hourglass - medium to full coverage, matte finish 

MUFE - full coverage, matte finish 

Tarte - full coverage, matte finish 

Becca - full coverage, natural to matte finish 

I have tried every single one of these foundations, and even though I do not have combo or oily skin I will try the foundation because I want to see if my skin likes it or not. And I'll be honest, the oily skin foundations I cannot wear, my dry skin doesn't love them. But I have used them on my Mom [oily skin human] and they look fabulous on her. During the summer, when my skin is more hydrated I can wear the combo skin foundations as well. I say this because I want you to know I'm educated on all these, and have experience with them.

I hope this helps with your foundation needs. And there are many more foundations out there, but these are my absolute favorites.
