For the past year or so, I've been on the hunt for my perfect everyday face makeup. Meaning tinted moisturizer, foundation, or bb cream of some sort. Ever since I was about 15, I have been using MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation. It has always been great for me and I have repurchased it countless times...up until about 10 months ago. It has always kind of given my skin a bit of a dried out and flakey look by the end of the day. I never really paid a lot of attention to skin care or realizing my exact skin type. I figured out that I have dry, sensitive skin. Because of the dry skin issue, Studio Fix is not that great for me. I started a proper skin care routine and after that, it helped a lot. Anyways! The new products I have been going back and fourth trying are: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, Origins Vitazing Moisturizer, Chanel Tinted Moisturizer, Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer, and the new Origins BB Cream.
As you can see, I am a big tinted moisturizer fan. Foundation has never really been something I have gravitated towards because I really don't want my face to be a noticeably different color than my neck and chest. My favorite would have to be the Chanel one. It smells amazing and gives just the slightest amount of coverage and a really healthy glow. The only downside is that it's about $60. Ouch. I received the Laura Mercier one for Christmas and it has been really great, too. Since it's the only one i have the full size version of, I use it the most. The Origins Vitazing isn't a traditional tinted moisturizer, it basically just adds a little bit of sun kissed look to your face; I use it when I'm having a really good skin day.
I would highly recommend going and getting samples of different ones that you want to try before purchasing them. All of the sales people are really nice and helpful!
Hey sweetie! You have a very beautiful blog with a lot of inspiring posts! I'd like to invite you to be my friend and follow each other:)
ReplyDeleteI prefer tinted moisturiser to foundation as well since I've been living in a tropical climate up until last year. I used the Benefit Rebel one, the dark version though because the lighter one washes me out and kind of defies the purpose of a "tint". Cool post :)
