Urban Decay: Stay Naked Foundation
Urban Decay recently brought out their Naked foundation reformulated and rebranded. Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation comes in a whopping 50 shades. I thought the original was OK but I didn’t repurchase it. The same reason applies to the concealer of the same namesake. But then I was intrigued by the new version and my…

Foundation Files: The Ordinary Coverage Foundation
The Ordinary isn’t just about skincare. It also does make-up – namely foundation. There are two types to choose from: Serum Foundation (which I’ve not yet tried) and pictured above, Coverage Foundation.

Foundation Files: L.A Girl PRO Matte Foundation
Figuring out what shade I am in L.A Girl’s new PRO Matte Foundation was a challenge: no swatches online, no reviews, no help on matching it against my usual foundation choices on the matrix and the names do not correspond with their PRO.Coverage HD Long Wear Illuminating Liquid Foundation range.

Foundation Files: PS… My Perfect Colour – Perfect Finish Foundation
I’m wearing a £2.50 foundation and it’s by Primark. That’s right, Primark and it’s bloody marvellous. My opinion has changed with Primark’s PS… make-up range since Miss Beauty Adikt and Shahleena’s started singing their praises on a lot of their products. In fact it was Shahleena who tried and tested this foundation on her YouTube…

In 2013, I was introduced to EX1 Cosmetics’ Invisiwear Foundation (you can read my review here). Created by biochemist, Farah Naz specifically for olive and tanned skin tones, the Invisiwear Foundation was only accessible online and at Topshop’s flagship store on Oxford Circus.
