My number 1 favourite foundation

**HONEST DISCLOSURE** – I am a Makeup Artist who doesn’t like wearing makeup…well, foundation.

It has taken me literally years of trying different bases and coverage types that I personally like on my own skin. It is a fine balance between the “no makeup” look and having some coverage that doesn’t make me want to scrape it off my skin.

A couple of weeks ago, I tried a new foundation and it’s everything I have been waiting for. I’m so happy! It is PERFECT for minimal makeup wearers like me, mature skin, dry skin and will enhance those with perfect skin already.

Here are 2 close up unedited images showing how natural it is.

So which foundation is it?

Over the years, I have tried all of the “natural” finish foundations and most recently I particularly liked Charlotte Tilbury’s “Beautiful Skin”. All of my clients know how much I absolutely love Charlotte Tilury products but honestly, I have always struggled with liking the foundations. The Beautiful Skin foundation was a nice surprise and I have used that in my own personal kit for around 6 months. However, my new holy grail is Charlotte Tilbury’s “Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint” stick.

What are the benefits of using this foundation?

  • The reason this product is so nice for mature skin especially is that it smooths and blurs fine lines to give a soft focus effect.
  • It is buildable, meaning you can control how much coverage you actually want.
  • It is super quick and easy to use as it can just be applied directly to the skin from the skin.
  • The ingredients contain Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E which are great for hydrating the skin and giving it a gorgeous, healthy glow.
