With Spring hopefully making an appearance very soon – well it is April after all. I thought I’d share with you all my Spring foundation edit. As I’ve mentioned numerous times before I don’t like a heavy foundation and much prefer a lighter formula for my foundations, especially as we’re heading into warmer weather – well, fingers crossed.
Dermalogica Sheer Tint £34.80
The texture of this is incredibly similar to a foundation. And although it is a lightweight formula, the coverage is buildable. It’s also incredibly moisturising and brilliant at evening out my skin tone and keeping my skin feeling nourished. When wearing this my skin not only looks illuminated and healthy but it gives the appearance that you’re not actually wearing any foundation. It doesn’t create any unnecessary shine or oil, just a breathable, healthy glow.
Benefit Big Easy Complexion Perfector £28.50
This is so much more than your average BB Cream. It promises to balance, moisturise and control oil, which is just what I need when the weather gets a little warmer. This is one of my favourite foundations for tackling shine, minimising the appearance of my pores and covering redness. I also love that it’s buildable so you can use it to conceal your problem areas. And although it has a silky formula that slips onto the skin, it has a velvet finish.
Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint £22.50
I find this formula to be quite creamy and heavier than your average tinted moisturisers, but the finish isn’t heavy at all. In fact you get a dewy, sheer and ever so slightly illuminating finish. As a light weight skin tint, it doesn’t slide over your face and is absorbed effortlessly into the skin. I find that I do have to work a little harder with blending this in, but the results are lovely. It gives my skin a nice amount of warmth, which is perfect for these grey days. It’s made with Borage and Avocado oils which help to lock in moisture and has the added benefit of SPF 15. The finish is natural, long lasting and with it being from the skincare gods that are Liz Earle, I feel that it is doing my skin good!
So this has been my Spring Foundation edit, what are your favourite foundations to wear in Spring?
I can’t say I’ve tried any of these, but I’m going to need something lighter for summer. I feel like my NARS is pretty heavy!
I’m a huge fan of Liz Earle so will definitely take a closer look at that one.
