What Foundation/Base Product Do You Use?

[SophisticatedSeagull]

Has anyone tried Huda Beauty Faux Filter???

Yes I found it oxidised very dramatically, it looked great when I initially put it on but it went orangey and patchy after an hour and that's with using her primer, plus it's got a very perfumey smell which I personally don't like, also got her pallet too wouldn't recommend that either

I tried Estee Lauder Double Wear and hated it was too thick. I use Mac studio fix I love it.

Mac Studio Fix is a classic.

I’ve heard the Revolution conceal and define concealer is also absolutely brilliant (some say even better than shape tape!)

I use that under my eyes and its really good for the price.

Oh really... Darn. I may have to try and get some samples.

There’s a ‘double wear lighter’ version that might be okay? Also for CT the flawless finish is really thick, like DW level thick. But the magic foundation I find quite light.

I really wasn’t impressed with Double Wear. It didn’t do anything amazing for me to warrant that price. My holy grail is good old Revlon colorstay. Can’t beat it.

Slightly off topic, sorry.

I have been watching insta's on eye make up, as I need to do more with my eyes but these grammars are all doing eye make up, then putting foundation on.

Is this right?

Another double wear girl I don’t have much left I’m tempted to try Charlotte Tilbury next, i always end up going back to double wear though

For the best dewy skin like look I would say Georgia Armani. Luminous silk
For my best light coverage foundation again is very skin like Lancôme 24 hour hour

Does anyone have experience of using Bobbi Brown foundation, ELDW and Charlotte Tillbury foundation? I have BB though find the mixture a little thick for my liking (I usually mix it up with a little illuminating balm to help the consistency) but looking for another option. Are the others the same or different?

I like IT Cosmetics CC cream but Make Up revolution do a good dupe for £20 cheaper. I also have the Beauty Pie foundation and really like that.

Spent a lot of money on a Huda foundation and it's awful!

I use max factor for everyday use and Mac studio fix for special occasions lol

I had the CT magic foundation it was ok but went a bit shiny on me after a few hours.

I hated double wear was so thick and fragrant! I am using Fenty at the moment which is good and would recommend. My favourite was Benefit Hello Flawless but it got discontinued

I've recently started using Trinny BFF & Miracle Blur. I love them , I'm in my 40s and I've tried quite a few things but these are the best for me and my awful skin type .

I've worn Double Wear in the past but it's too dry for my skin now. Used to love Lancome Teint Idole but I tried No7 Hydraluminous after Sali Hughes recommended it in a column and loads in the comments section said it was fab. I absolutely love it, the colour, Calico is perfect for me and it feels so nice to wear, so lightweight but good coverage. A really good value product, too.

I use Max Factor False Lash Effect and wouldn't change. I have long lashes that take a nice amount of mascara without looking clumpy to spidery, but the curl doesn't hold with anything else. It's £5 on Amazon and doesn't go dry, but I do place it between my thighs as I do the rest of my make up so maybe the heat helps?


Oh which YSL - the touche eclat one? I've heard good things about that.

Yes the touché eclat - I use their primer too which has shiny bits in, I don’t know if the shiny bits do anything but it does make my face feel glowy!

I’ve only used Bobbi Brown I’m afraid, but I know what you mean about the thickness - lovely finish but very full coverage. Currently using YSL which is a bit lighter - still enough coverage and build able if you need.

I'm tempted by the fenty foundation, unsure on the shade I would need though.

I tried that and did not like it. It really emphasized any dry spots that I had. It made my skin look awful.

For my best light coverage foundation again is very skin like Lancôme 24 hour hour

I did enjoy the Armani but I felt it was a very very light coverage and so expensive
