Holy Grails: Top 3 Foundations.

Hey lovelies! 
I just thought I'd do a post on a couple of my holy grail beauty items, these are all things I love and will continue to repurchase.

I started these posts with foundations because I think if your foundation looks shit, guaranteed the rest of your makeup will look shit and these three always make sure I definitely don't have that problem.

I'll start with the high end one..


So, this is Illamasqua Skinbase in shade 5, I am probably a 4 or a 3.5 but I was a lot more tanned when I bought this! This is very yellow based which is perfect for counter-acting my redness - which I absolutely love. It's also very full coverage without being too thick or heavy on your skin and I think it's amazing. Always use a good moisturiser beforehand though or it can make your skin look a wee bit funny, haha! 

Next is the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation..


I'm in the shade Ivory and this foundation is a medium coverage but definitely buildable. It's really dewy and pretty once it's on but it definitely needs set, which is probably the only thing I don't like about it.

Lastly is Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation


I've lost the lid for this so I do apologise! I'm in the shade Vanilla. This is a gorgeous foundation, very very dewy (which I love) and you don't necessarily need to set it as it does set but still looks dewy. I love it though as I love the shiny disco ball look, makes my dry skin look a LOT better. It's quite a light coverage but can definitely be built to a medium coverage. I use it whenever I feel like I need that little bit more dewy-ness on my face! Absolutely love it.


What are some of your holy grail foundations/base products? I'd love to know!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

My New Holy Grail Foundation.

Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend, I have fallen in love with this perfect, perfect beauty product.




So if you haven't guessed - this post is about my new "Holy Grail" foundation. For those who may have never seen me without any makeup, my skin is not the best, it's very red in the cheek area, my skin tone uneven and I do get quite spotty. This is Skinbase foundation by Illamasqua (I am in the shade 5) and it covers up EVERYTHING I am insecure about. It's amazing and all I've ever wanted from a foundation.

Illamasqua do a wide range of shades - going from literally white to very very dark. I love this foundation so much that the price (£32) doesn't really bother me. It's a dewy finish and you do have to powder in the centre of the face to save yourself from being a bit too oily but other than that it's perfect and it stays on all day. Doesn't budge. Everything goes on top of it beautifully and I cannot fault it. This will hopefully be my holy grail foundation for a very, very long time. Can't see me changing my mind anyway! :)
