Which foundation???

Hiya everyone, I get asked a lot which foundation is the best on the high street and to be honest the price of high street foundation is rising and rising and so it is worth taking the time to find the right foundation for you.  I use a lot of high street brands on a day to day basis and there are some amazing foundations out there.  Here are a few I've been testing recently.

There are a few more for me to review however I haven't used them enough yet to give totally useful feedback so I will do this in groups starting with the 3 super stay varieties and they are Maybelline super stay 24 hour, Revlon colorstay and Rimmel's lasting finish 25 hour foundion.

Firstly I don't feel any brand can say 24 hour stay foudation, however they aren't bad.

This is Maybelline's super stay 24 hour foundation and I have spoken about this before and how I love this!  I am quite a pale shade of this in the winter and even in the summer I only use their sand shade (I am not a fan of fake tan on my face so prefer the English rose look!!). 

This is a just under medium thckness in consistency and very easy to apply.

It blends really well and has an incredibly high coverage and really took me by surprise the first time I used it.  This foundation lives up to the super stay name on the packaging and did not budge!  I didn't reapply this at all during my day and I love this foundation. 
Verdict:  Great coverage, lasts really really well and has a nice variety of shades.

Next up we have Rimmel's lasting finish foundation.  This has a very clean pump on top and again is fairly blendable and easy to apply. 

It's a similar consistancy to the Maybelline super stay 24hr and again has a good shade range. 

Although this went on nicely, it didn't have as amazing coverage as Maybelline but still was fairly pleaseing, however it didn't last as well but still stood well throughout the day but needing slight touchups later on.

Verdict:  Nice pump, nice shades, medium coverage but didn't last as well.

Next up is Revlon colorstay for normal/dry skin.  I have to say I really dislike the top of this bottle as it has no pump.

It is also very thin in consistancy and so is very messy on the bottle top!

I liked the range of colours the best I think and it applied very nicely, however after a promising start I was dissapointed at it's lasting power.  It basically didn't live up to my (perhaps too high) expectations!  I really wanted this to last but it didn't last any more than any normal stay foundation!

Verdict:  Good shade range, awful bottle and a little dissapointing in staying power.

And the winner is........

I can't fault this as a day to day foundation, lovely coverage and staying power and if you are out looking for a new foundation I highly recommend looking into purchasing this.  It's brilliant!
