Oh, Shades of U SOOOO gets our Post of the Day…. just read on…. elke

I’ve been getting a lot of questions as to what my number 1 favorite mineral foundation is. I definitely have favorites, but I don’t have a number 1 ultimate best HG foundation. So the next question would be - why? The answer is because I use different brands of foundations to suit my different everyday needs. Some brands work best under the heat of the summer sun, some work best for me during winter, some work best to conceal my imperfections, some look best at night, and so on. Note that the operative words for this review are “for me”. These observations were culled from my own experience with these brands, and what works for me might not work for you, and vice-versa. I will also not include brands I only tried once or twice and didn’t like. For reference, I have combination skin - oily t-zone but normal to dry cheeks. Also, although I am covering a lot of brands in this review, this is by no means an in-depth review. Over the months I have put up many posts featuring reviews on these brands. You can access them under the Labels tab to the right-side of your screen, or you can do a site search for these brands. So let’s start.

1. Monave (Full-coverage)

Pros: Amazing creamy finish, the ultimate KING of staying power (outlasts any mineral makeup I’ve tried when it comes to staying put). It lasts a whopping 12-16 hours on my face without any need for touch ups, coverage is amazing and covers all imperfections. Beautiful for night/evening looks; great for fall and winter.

Cons: Heavy feel especially for summer; a little more expensive than other brands, hard to apply if you don’t know the technique (I apply it with a dry fluffy brush and I set it with hydrating mist afterwards). It also gives a whitish cast in photos if you use a slightly lighter-toned shade.

2. LaurEss (Light, Medium-Full coverage, depending on the formula)
