I, probably like many of you, have faced the battle of finding the perfect drug store foundation, the one that gives perfect coverage and is long lasting while also not doing too much damage to the bank account.
Maxfactor's Miracle Match foundation has come to the rescue! It is literally perfect, in every way, if it was a man I would consider marrying it, it's that perfect.
It's not thick in consistency so it doesn't feel cloggy (does that make sense?!) It gives even coverage and it doesn't wander off throughout the day it stays in place! YAY! I have oily skin so it's been hard for me to come across a foundation that doesn't make me feel like I have just dipped my face in a deep fat fryer but this one doesn't make my skin look, feel or appear oily or greasy in any way! Although it does have a subtle dewy look too it :)
Now before you jump to conclusions that this could be because of a primer that I'm using you are wrong, I don't use a primer, just my daily moisturiser and that is Garinier Skin Naturals Moisture and Matte. Now I have to be honest, I was using this moisturiser before I switched foundations and I noticed a massive difference in the lasting effect of my foundation however even on days when I have changed my moisturiser the foundation has lasted all day! I should also mention that the colour is amazing, it matches my skin tone perfectly, which is hard since I am extremely pale, in case you are like me and also of pale skin, the colour foundation I use is Light Ivory 40 .
How do you apply your foundation? Well I'm glad that you asked that.
Until recently I was using the Real Techniques Finishing Brush to apply my foundation and it was amazing but as the weather has got colder I've been get drier patches on my skin and so blending in my foundation just wasn't happening, it was looking streaky and just plain awful HOWEVER thanks to Zoella I was pointed in the direction of the beauty blender, the holy grail of applying foundation!

Until watching Zoella's video I was completely baffled by the beauty blender and was just not sure how to use it, seems silly now!! Most people dampen their beauty blender before using, however, as advised by Zoe, I use mine dry!
Three pumps of foundation on the back of my hand and then dab the beauty blender into the foundation dab onto face and carry on until you have full coverage. The wonderful thing about the Miracle Match foundation is that it is completely buildable and the beauty blender helps you do that so effortlessly, the combination of the two is just a dream and leaves you with a completely even coverage.
The before and after picture above is pretty self explanatory but please note in the after picture there has been no primer, concealer or powder used, that is just the foundation, amazing, I know.
The beauty blender that I am currently using is the one from Primark!!!! It is only £1!! It doesn't absorb too much product and is perfect if you are looking for something cheap to travel with so that you don't lose your more expensive one or if you are just looking to try one out!!! I have been so impressed by the beauty blender I will be upgrading to the Real Techniques one which you can get here -----> https://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Miracle-Complexion-Sponge_1389470/
