Hunt for a Holy Grail Foundation
I've been on the hunt for a holy grail foundation for a while now. Although I love my L'Oreal True Match, there just isn't the perfect shade for my skin. So I'm pretty much looking for a similar or better foundation, just with my right colour.
I went to an Estee Lauder counter the other day and got them to try the Double Wear on me, and the colour was perfect! But as soon as I walked out of the store and into the sun I felt it almost melt off my face and my face started to sweat and become really shiny, which it's never done with any other product. So alas, that was not the foundation for me. Maybe if I didn't live in the Australian heat, but I don't plan on moving any time soon.
Next up I'm going to go to an Elizabeth Arden counter and get them to try the Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude Makeup. I've read a bunch of reviews and watched a few Youtube reviews/ first impression videos and it looks like something I'd like, so I'm really excited to see how it goes.
If that one doesn't sit right with me either, then next on the list are Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, then MAC Studio Fix Fluid, then Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. Hopefully I'll find a winner somewhere during that process.
I'm loving just getting my makeup done at different makeup counters for free though, and then seeing how it goes on my skin in different environments and photographs for the rest of the day; it feels like I'm doing little science experiments!
If you have any holy grail foundations that you would recommend me trying, I'd love to hear about them!
