Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, Full Coverage, 27ml, Fair

Product Information

Powder compacts also make great alternatives to traditional liquid foundations for oily skin and acne-prone skin types, largely thanks to their oil-controlling and shine-reducing properties and non-comedogenic formulations. But if you’re team dry or combination skin, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t dabble in powder foundations. Rest assured, there’s plenty of options on the market that aren’t too drying; and if you’re not a fan of the matte look, you can simply use them strategically and place the product on areas that could benefit from some mattifying (think your T-zone and your under-eye area). It gave my skin a really nice glow considering it had a matte finish, and the shade 'Cashew' matched my skin tone perfectly. I do think the foundation was extra effective because I blended it with other Collection products, so that might be something to bare in mind before purchasing.

A good, dependable foundation should be great at covering blemishes, easy to blend, and able to last well past your workday. But the (unfortunate) fact of the matter is, just because a label says long-lasting, doesn't necessarily mean it is. That's where we are here to help. We interviewed several celebrity makeup artists to find the best foundations that truly last. With its buildable coverage, skin-like finish, and wide range of shades, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation took our top spot. Shade 6 Cashew - For light skin tones with a golden neutral undertone. Previously named 1A Cool Fair.Shade 4 Extra Fair - For fair skin tones with a warm neutral undertone. Previously named, 0, Extra Fair. As we add more shades to our Lasting Perfection ranges, a few shade codes/names will change. During these changes, no change was made to the shade colouring, the only change is the shade range.

But in under a minute the brand's app scanned my face and, sure enough, two days later the product hit my doormat. I wore this foundation for around six or seven hours whilst visiting a theme park. Although after the seven hour mark there were a few signs of smudging around the nose area, it stayed put pretty well.

For me personally, summer is all about the dewy lightweight foundations, and as it gets colder I want something a little more longer lasting. The problem with full coverage foundations is the fact they can look and feel cakey, so it can be so hard to find the perfect one. I tried Lancôme's red carpet bundle and there's one product I didn't expect to love (Image: Jada Jones) I've been wearing this foundation for a full eight hours at work without having to touch it up once, which means it could be perfect for the Grand National. If you want to completely make sure there's no risk of shine on your chin or forehead, just touch it up with some powder and you're sorted. Complete with Lasting Perfection Concealer 1-4 shades lighter and darker to highlight and contour the face For a foundation that claims to last 16 hours, I was pretty dubious to say the least. Even something as pricey as the Estée Lauder Double Wear starts to separate and go a little shiny after a full day of wear, so I was intrigued to see how this foundation worked. The foundation

Shade 8 Beige - For light to medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 1B, Warm Fair.

The vegan formula is buildable, blendable and effortlessly covers and conceals blemishes and dark circles for a flawlessly smooth base. The lightweight liquid concealer glides onto the skin easily with a doe foot applicator. Once your skin is ready, Amos suggests starting with a primer, setting with finely milled powders, and using a good setting spray to ensure your foundation lasts all day. And remember, less is more. The medium to full coverage foundation seamlessly blends for a flawless complexion and is now specially formulated to perfectly match all shades of Lasting Perfection Concealer, making it easier than ever before to shop your base.In addition to a matte finish, it's best if the foundation is oil-free to prevent the foundation from breaking down and looking shiny on your skin. You really have to get used to the consistency and work out what products work best with this foundation for the best results. As a whole though, I was pretty impressed.

While it might be tempting to apply your foundation with your hands, if you really want to make it last, it's best to apply it with a clean brush or sponge as the oils from your hands can break down the foundation. And read the emphasis on a clean brush. A dirty brush can harbor as much oils as your hands and lead to a streaky application. I've tried a lot of foundations over the years in my quest to find something that looks natural while providing decent coverage on the horrendous and painful spots that often pop up on my chin ahead of special occasions. Shade 4 Extra Fair - For fair skin tones with a warm neutral undertone. Previously named, 0, Extra Fair It's officially reached that time of year where I'm on the hunt for a long lasting matte foundation to keep my face looking flawless. Shade 9 Light Vanilla - For medium skin tones with a pink undertone. Previously named 2, Cool MediumThe foundation is said to have a 'skincare infused formula' formulated with Glycerine, Matcha and Niacinamide for 'visibly even' and 'radiant' skin. My skin has a tendency to look dull, especially in the morning, so these ingredients sounded really appealing to me. Shade 10 Buttermilk - For medium skin tones with a yellow undertone. Previously named 3, Warm Medium It also began to cling to my dry skin around the nose, and soak into my fine lines. Perhaps it was my powder of choice, or the fact I was wearing the wrong primer, but this ones a bit of a risky move if you don't want your foundation to budge.
