• HylamidePhotography foundation 30ml – shade: transparent

This review is about a product I was incredibly skeptical about. A photography foundation in “transparent” (the other options are golden tan and dark tan.)

Lord knows what a foundation lover I am so when I swatched this, I looked and said.. no chance I will like this.

Hylamide photography foundation can be applies under or over foundation or on its own and I have tried ALL ways  (even mixed WITH foundation) and I have to say wow. This product is amazing with the no foundation option and I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised with the results regardless of how good/bad their skin is.

In this photo I am not wearing any normal foundation

I would honestly leave the house wearing this without added foundation. This product is amazing enough to be a standalone foundation and that is saying something.

I honestly cannot get over HOW my skin looks, especially the pores. The feeling of not needing to use concealer, blend and buff with layers of this and that is fantastic!

Let’s have a look at what the website says:

Clinically-advanced serum to target multiple aspects of under-eye

aging at once.

Contains a Flavanoid Glucoside Bio-active to reduce visible darkness under the eyes

Contains a Darutoside complex for a lifted upper lid appearance and reduced visible

sagginess

Contains a Waglerin-1 Peptide Complex shown to reduce the look of dynamic lines around the eyes

Nonapeptide-3 Retino-Complex

A novel technology that promotes better visible anti-aging results than Retinol with

less irritation

Fluorinated Perfluorocarbon Complex

An extraordinary technology that offers visible tightening of the under-eye area both immediately and in the longer term

Holy moly of the grails of foundations. Klara has struck yet again. This is one epic foundation and packs a more awesome punch than MAC does. If youre a MAC lover, just put it away and give this foundation a go.

Lets have a look at the 8X promises on the front of the packet. 

• 24 hour long lasting –
• Oil free matte finish
• spf 15+ protection
• Moisturises
• Evens skin tone
• Full coverage and lightweight

For this foundation, I’ve used both a beauty blender and  foundation brushes. I have to say, I prefer a foundation brush. The one I have been using lately is–> Sigma Flat Kabuki Brush.

This is absolutely at the moment one of my TOP 3 foundations and as you all know… I have so many foundations to the point of hoarding.

Well done yet AGAIN Klara 10/10

Jess Hart brings us the LUMA liquid foundation in the pump pack. This foundation is quite amazing in the fact it has a sunscreen in it (15+) but you cannot smell it.

I am a sunscreen smelling radar and you literally cannot smell it in this foundation. WIN! Jess Harts LUMA foundation is very lightweight. I would go so far as to say this is almost like a tinted moisturiser. This is ideal for anyone who doesnt need a lot of coverage to mature/ sun damaged skin.

It doesnt have that powerdery base that seeps into wrinkles and is light enough for those who dont need a lot of coverage just that right amount for an even tone.

Let’s have a look at the ingredients of this.

Enriched with nourishing Fruit Oils, Shea Butter, Wheat Protein Grapeseed Oil, and Vitamin A antioxidant to help strengthen and nourish the skin’s natural renewal process and continually protect your complexion against damage caused by free radicals and environmental factors.

This is a perfect foundation for those days where you’re going for that natural look. I would even replace my sunscreen for my face with it.

Price: $29.95 from LUMA 

All my life I have had a very deep fascination and fixation with foundation. Yes… I was a finger applying type.

I found so called “foundation” brushes leaving streaks all over my face. I tried sponges, beauty blenders and I have to say the Grand Champion winner of the foundation world is easily the Sigma Flat Kabuki Brush.

I have used so many brands of stippling brushes and this one…. Well I can tell you, the photos for “Look of the day” and nearly all other photos unless expressed otherwise feature this epic Kabuki Brush. I actually bought 2 of them (yes identical) because I love them so much. This brush makes even the most mediocre foundation apply flawlessly without streaks, stripes, messy hands and stained looking sponges.

yep! they ship worldwide. Insane bargain

Score: 10/10

I have been on the hunt for the foundation to trump foundations since I was 18 years old. Let me tell you Armani Maestro – fusion makeup is a masterpiece.

This silky foundation is dispersed via a truly magical way. It uses a built in eye dropper that sucks up the foundation, up inside and you can drop as much as you need directly onto your stippling brush or beauty buffer.

The texture is like lotion from the gods. Silky and applies so flawlessly, it will blow your mind.

The bonus with this item is that is has built in sun protection of SPF 15

This has been my staple foundation for the past few months and I am besotted by it.

It does not cake up and get caught in creases or wrinkles like many others so this is ideal for mature skin too. It applies quite thin but boasts excellent coverage.

Texture: Thin

Coverage: Excellent

Smell: I don’t mind the fragrance of it at all

SPF: 15+

Size: 30ml  / 1FL OZ
