Favourite Summer Foundations...

Hey everyone!

So today's post is about the three foundations which I am currently loving for the summer months! With the weather being slightly better than usual in the UK at the moment, apart from a few rainy days still, I prefer to go with foundations which are much lighter on the skin, but which can be built up if necessary. When the weather is particularly warm, I find that I don't use as much foundation as usual, so they also last a lot longer, which is a huge bonus for my bank balance... 



Rimmel | BB Cream | Light | £6.99


So, this foundation is the latest one which I have purchased and I absolutely love it! Out of all three in this post, this foundation gives the lightest coverage and is perfect for those days where it is too hot for a lot of makeup but gives you a nice, healthy glow (even though it is a matte finish!) It is classed as a BB cream and claims to be a 9-in-1 skin perfecting foundation, with qualities such as minimizing the appearance of pores and concealing dark circles along with many other things and I do actually agree with every single one! It is an all round excellent foundation which would be perfect for any skin type! It also has SPF 15, which is always a plus! At only £6.99, it is the ideal foundation and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Rimmel | Lasting Finish 25 Hours | 100 Ivory | £7.99 


Now this foundation, out of all three, is probably the highest coverage and the one that I find gives my skin the air-brushed look! It is quite a thick formula, so I would use this on the days where I am wanting to cover any blemishes straight away, without having to pile on lots of concealer, or if I was going out somewhere special! This foundation claims to last for up to 25 hours, and even though I've never kept it on for that long, it definitely does last all day! It is extremely hydrating, however it is not a matte finish, so I would not recommend this one to people who have particularly oily skin, but other than that it is a great foundation at an excellent price!

MAC | Studio Fix | NC15 | £21.50


Well where to start with this foundation! It has been one of my favourite makeup products to use since the beginning of the year and I am pretty obsessed with it; it is my every day go-to foundation! It gives the perfect amount of coverage, but can be built up as much as you like, to achieve the look you want. It applies to and blends into the skin so easily, covering any blemishes! It also has SPF 15, which is great for this time of year to help protect your skin from the sun. This foundation has a matte finish and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Even though it is a little pricier than the other two foundations, it is definitely worth the money!
