Makeup: The best 5 new foundations of Fall!
updated the 17 August 2015 à 11:25Some love it, others like less … but the new generation of foundations will certainly convert some BB cream followers for they are better than ever. We pick our favourites.
Season after season, even our basic makeup products (concealers, foundations, etc…) are getting better and better as new creations emerge to give us enhanced results.
When it comes to foundation, many might skip it in favour of the lighter BB or CC cream. But don’t be so quick to rule it out as the generation of foundations is worlds apart from that heavy and cake-y impression we seem to associate with fond-de-teint.
We break down the 5 best complexion innovations – conceived this season – which are synonymous with lightness, brightness and brilliance.
Let there be light!
the must-have in your kit
What about a little jar of happiness? Its creamy texture is smooth and penetrates well, its scent is pleasant (it smells like ‘Clarins cream’), and its concentration in organic Argan makes the skin supple and very soft. Its coverage level? It regulates shine and hides minor imperfections.
Extra-Comfort Foundation SPF15 (Clarins,approx. USD60 for 30 ml).
the best on the go
Make Up For Ever is primarily a professional makeup brand which has built its name being busy backstage at fashion shows where makeup artists sometimes (well, mostly) work in an emergency environment. That’s why it has launched a new challenge: ‘No more than two minutes work on the complexion!’. We say : ‘Mission accomplished!’
Dry or wet, with a brush or a sponge, the texture of this foundation is works very easily. The Nylon powder present inside operates as a micro-sponge absorbing excess sebum and also acts as a light reflector. And to satisfy all skin types, it contains Ximenia oil and aloe vera, two excellent moisturizers.
Pro-Finish Foundation Powder (Make Up For Ever, approx. USD55).
DRY SKIN’s best friend
Enriched with glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and muru muru butter, this foundation will delight dry skin! These moisturizing agents create a protective film to prevent the feeling of tightness and dryness. As a bonus, the formula was developed to capture the light to give a natural glow to the skin.
Luminous Moisturizing Foundation (Bobbi Brown, approx. USD60 for 30 ml).
long LASTING
You want more light, more brightness and brilliance while keeping matt finish? Sephora has got you covered! This foundation is your anti-shine ally. It hides imperfections without giving the impression of wearing a mask and it lasts the whole day with no need for touch ups.
10H Wear Perfection Foundation (Sephora, approx. USD22 for 25 ml).
extra SOFT and smooth
Chanel’s VITALUMIÈRE lightweight compact is a real smooth sailing on the skin. Its texture is light and very easy to apply. With extracts of peach pits, known for their moisturizing properties, this compact foundation leaves no tugging sensation on the skin.
Not to mention, we love the elegance of its black lacquered case with the Chanel logo, which we can drag incognito in our bag.
