Foundation & bbcream review 

Collection 

lasting perfection

60 kr

 review: I bought this foundation because i was extremely pleased with their collection concealers. This foundation is reasonably priced and it has decent range of colours and it has a pretty good coverage. my foundation colour is usually ivory in the whiter and beige in the summer, i bought this in the palest shade they had and it still looked slightly  orange on me which i found a bit strange when  it looked so pale in the bottle. I wouldn't say this foundation lasts for 16 hours, but have combination skin and this foundation had a tendency to look oily around my t zone, and sometimes i would get break outs. 

conclusion: if you are looking for a cheap foundation and have dry skin i think this would be a good foundation for a reasonable price. This is a foundation for the summer time, whit its slightly orange tint this will not be suitable for whiter pale skin. this foundation looks great whit a glittery bronzer as a contour to give you that proper bronze goddess look.

How to apply to achieve best results: this foundation is best applied whit the real techniques makeup sponge, apply a few dabs of it on your face and blend it out whit using small gentle dabbing motions and use the pointy tip to get it properly blended around nose and eye area. 

Remember! after using makeup tools on your skin its important to clean them or have an anti bacterial cleansing spray to spray on your tools after  use. if you use your hands make sure to clean them whit anti bacterial to prevent any contamination so you don't break out next time you use them!

Rimmel 

stay matte

60kr

review:This foundation has a mousse texture and great coverage, and a decent colour range for a high street foundation. Boots and Super drug has often offers on this foundation.  However i would say this foundation is for someone whit oily skin because mouse foundation has a tendency to dry your skin out. If u do have combination skin it can still work if you scrub and moisturise your face before applying this foundation. If you have dry skin this is a foundation you should stay clear off. This foundation can also be quite tricky to blend in to your skin. but again if you have oily skin and love a mat duvet finish whit a full coverage then this is the one for you. 

conclusion:this is definitely a whiter foundation, gives you the flawless porcelain look and it looks great whit a strong highlighter and red lips for a whiter look. 

How to apply to achieve best results: For this foundation i would just use my fingers to apply, since this is a foundation that is hard to get even and blend out. The heat of your fingers will melt the foundation in to your skin making it look more even, use the real technique contouring brush to get to the creases of the nose and eye area to blend it out. 

Garnier bbcream

70 kr

review:This bbcream is probably Norwegian womens favourite as it was one of the first bbcreams to hit the high street over here and was massively hyped up. I bought this as an easy quick cream to slap on my face when I'm in a hurry or when I'm just home and feel like not looking like an absolute zombie. This again is something that suits me more in the summer as it has slight tint of orange in it and my skin has more of a yellow tint to it. i personally feel  that i need to add some high lighter under my eyes and sometimes a concealer and powder to cover up blemishes as this is more sheer.

conclusion:this is more suitable for girls whit dry skin, it can get a bit oily around the tzone and you need to reapply powder often. this is a good foundation for a quick fix for a more even skin tone(not for any coverage) to use in the summer for days where u want more of a natural look like on the beach.

How to apply to achieve best results: This foundation is good to apply whit the real techniques buffing brush to proper work it in to your skin for a natural finish. you can get a great brush set from real techniques  whit all the brushes you need for 220 kr. 

Rimmel wake me up

70

review: i know this foundation has had mixed reviews in the beauty world, but Oh my goodness i love this foundation so much.  The colour for the first time ever, actually suits my skin perfectly. It gives off a glowing refreshed youthfull look whit tiny particles of glitter and shimmer. It also has great coverage and it hides away pores and blemishes and leaves your skin looking picture perfect. basically what the foundation says it will. Another bonus whit this foundation is that it has spf 15, which is great for the summer so you don't have to worry about applying suncream before foundation. 

conclusion:If you are sensitive for scented stuff, this might not be your cup of tea as it has a slight perfume scent to it. I personally like that smell because it makes me feel even more refreshed, it also has a bit of shimmer so if you are looking for a matt finish then this is not for you. This is a foundation you can get away whit all year a round and it has a decent price and easy to get a hold of. This foundation looks great to use whit the sleek contouring palette which has a matt finish to it, use some of the highlight in the pallet on your cheek bones and nose bridge for a even more glowing look. 

How to apply to achieve best results: Whit this foundation i would use a stippling brush for a light even foundation. The consistency isn't as thick in this one so you only need to use a light hand to get an even glowing look. I got my stippling brush from elf, cheap and it does its its job. 

Bourjois happy light 

100 kr 

review:i bought this foundation after hearing so much about it on youtube and people talking loads about their lip products so thought i would give it a go. i was originally going to buy the healthy mix foundation they have but then i saw this, after being so happy whit the rimmel one i thought this was worth a try.  i usually use this whit their happy light primer. it has a nice coverage and it blends well in whit your skin, after being exposed to oxygen this foundation changes colour and adapts to your skin but just as u put it on it might look a bit off but that changes quickly, it also has a pleasant scent and it stays on all day. 

conclusion:for me this is probably as pricy i would go in a foundation since I'm an every day user but it does give your skin a youthful glow, probably not as much as the rimmel one but this has more of a matt glow to it while the rimmel one has more shimmer and sparckles. its not my favourite but this one can suit pretty much any skin type and it does what it says.

How to apply to achieve best results:

this one i would use the real tecnuiqes makeup sponge to create flawless looking skin, this sponge is great to get in to creases and corners to blend out if needed.

whipped creme foundation

150 kr

review:i came over this foundation when i did a spot of shopping at H&M, and they gave me a sample of it. As soon as i got home i tried it on and it was just my skin tone, as i often struggle to find on the high street. It also did not get oily at all after a full day of usage, which is another thing i usually struggle whit when it comes to mouse and cream foundations. They have a big range of colours and it had a full on matt finish.

conclusion:This is probably the foundation whit best coverage out of all of the foundations i have reviewed. It stayed on all day and suits all skin types. The only bad thing i would say whit this foundation is the smell, it has a weird smell i can't put my finger on...slightly marzipan smell to it which i don't perticully want to smell it on my face all day, but the smell fades after a little while. Other than that i love this foundation. This is a foundation perfect for clubbing, stays on all night even if you break a sweat and its pretty much smudge proof. 

How to apply to achieve best results: This foundation is best to apply whit fingers as u would whit a moisturiser. just remember to have clean hans to avoid any bacteria.

the body shop 

all in one bb cream

225 kr 

review:This product has a ridicules price, but i was intrigued, so i bought it on a half price sale. Its not much product you get tho, for the price you pay. Its one of the better bbcreams i have tried, and it gives a medium coverage. It comes out as a white cream and as you rub it in to your skin it adapts to your skin tone, it has a pleasant smell and gives off a slight glow so u look refreshed, and its no need for powder whit this one. If you want more of a full coverage then i recommend it whit a matt powder from body shop. 

conclusion:I feel like after using it all up i could see a difference in my skin and i had less breakouts after i stop using the cheaper foundation, i guess you get what you pay for? all skin types can use this bb cream and its a all year around one for days you want more of a natural look like maybe for school,work or if you are in a rush. 

How to apply to achieve best results: This i would apply gently whit the tips of my fingers in a circular motion to work it in to the skin to achieve more of a natural to medium coverage. 

all these foundations are bought in england except the body shop bbcream and the max factor wipped cream

so the prices that are listed are based on uk standard
