Top 5: Highend Foundations

Personally I like to wear foundation on a daily basis because I feel very uncomfortable with my acne scars and the pigmentation on my skin. So here are my Top 5 witch I use on a daily basis and on evenings.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk (shade: 5)

It's my favorite foundation of all time! This foundation reigns with the amazing semi-matte finish. It turns bad skin days into good ones. It looks glowy, non-sweaty and has a brightening effect on the skin. Medium coverage, incredible lasting power, photographs beautifully because there's no SPF in it- so it's perfect for the evening. 

Dior Star Foundation (shade: 021 Linen)

I’ve already mentioned it here. „As the name „Dior Star Foundation“ says – it really is a star! The coverage is buildable and it’s leaving a light sheen on the skin, which doesn’t make you look greasy even if you have oilyer skin like me (combination skin). It also lasts all day long and you don’t even need to set it with powder. Colour-wise there’s a good range. I have the colour Nr. 021 Linen. Well, the bottle is so luxe! You get what you pay for.“

The liquid formula almost like water. In addition to that it's so lightweight but it gives a light-medium coverage which is build able. It evens out the skin tone but it doesn’t really hide blemishes you need to use a concealer on top of it. You will be super glowing and fresh looking but oily girls will need a little bit powder. 

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solution (shade: 02 fresh ivory) 

This foundation is similar to the Chanel Vitalumière but it’s specifically for blemish prone skin. The lightweight formula is buildable and never looks cakey on the skin. The lasting power isn’t that great but even if it sinks into the skin there won’t appear any blemishes.

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick (shade: 02 sand)

It gives a medium to full coverage with a matte finish. I like to apply it with my fingers because I think it blends better with the warmth. You can also use it as a concealer to hide acne-scars, blemishes and discoloration. The finish is matte but it can look greasy after a few hours so you’ll need a little bit of powder in the T-Zone.

Favorite Blushes

All the blushes are perfect in terms of pigmentation, formula and colour - can you see the peachy-pink-theme? *hint-hint*

The Revlon Powder Blush in 010 Classy Coral is a matte peachy coral. Because of the amazing pigmentation you only need a tiny amount on your brush and just blend it on your cheeks and you are good to go. It’s giving a bronzy glow without actually adding any bronze. It doesn’t sit on top oft he skin like some powder formulas, instead it blends in flawlessly. Plus you also get a brush.

The Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush in „in bloom“ is also a peachy-pink. I’ve never had a blush before that you can grind by yourself. It instantly perks up your cheeks and gives lumnous and lit-from-within flush. In terms of longevity this little number really stands out, the color hardly fades after a long day and it’s super finely milled. Awesome.

The Clinique Cheeck Pop’s have such an unique formula. It’s a powder/cream texture that blends beautifully over the cheeks. The pigmentation is good you can wear it as a sheer wash of color or you can really build it up. The peachy-pink and the pink are my favorites of the collection. They were limited edition so I don’t know if you can still get them.

If you’re looking for a blush for summer look this way! Maybelline brought out two limited edition bushes last summer, but I think you can’t still get them somewhere on the Internet. There are a pink and peachy-pink. Because of the warm colors I think they’re more for a bronzy summer-look, but the pigementation is awesome and long-wearing.
