How to choose a foundation: photo, reviews

This is the most necessary tool in a cosmetic bag, but not all girls can choose what kind of tone they need. The editorial staff of Wday decided to test a variety of tonal means and tell the whole truth about them.

Skin Feels Good, Lancôme, 3217 rubles

The new generation of foundation is able to improve complexion due to reflective particles in the composition and provide the skin with a natural glow. It can be used alone or as a base. Most importantly, the composition contains hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture and restores elasticity, moringa extract fights harmful substances, and SPF 23 protects from the sun’s rays.

Olga Safonova, Deputy Chief Editor

Pros: the foundation has a very light texture and moisturizing properties. The presence of a protective factor is another huge plus. The novelty justifies all the declared properties: it cares for the skin, protects it and gives it a beautiful, maximally natural look and glow.

Cons: not found.

Derma-Cushion, Dr. Jart +, 4715 rubles

New foundation Dr. Jart + provides the perfect finish that can be varied as needed. The beige part of the cushion is a tone that creates a matte finish, and in the heart of the cushion there is a pink “plus”, it gives a natural shine and a fashionable gym skin effect. The composition also contains caring ingredients – calamine (relieves irritation), sea plankton extract (moisturizes, fortifies), calendula extract (has an anti-inflammatory effect).

Elena Karlina, star editor

Pros: it seems that the whole cushion is a solid plus. Firstly, it is convenient to carry with you, and it is a real salvation for girls with dry skin. I can’t use powders, but I still want to fix my makeup during the day. The coating is invisible on the skin, the face immediately begins to shine with health, as if I had been on vacation for two weeks, had enough sleep and ate only fruit. In general, love!

Cons: not found.

BB Cream, Garnier, 343 rubles

The product creates a flawless, even and natural coverage and masks all skin imperfections. The BB Cream is lightweight and easy to apply. In addition, it contains vitamin C, which has an antioxidant effect and charges the skin with radiance, while mineral pigments even out tone and do not clog pores.

Elena Novoselova, editor

Pros: the foundation has a translucent consistency that gives the skin the glow that is the makeup trend this spring. The product quickly and easily adjusts to the skin tone. In addition, it has a pleasant, subtle scent, which is very important for me as an allergy sufferer.

Cons: not found.

Le Privilège, Rivoli Geneve, 16 rubles

The Privilege, Rivoli Geneve

Multifunctional product gives the skin an even tone and hides all skin imperfections and even masks enlarged pores. But this is not all the merit of the product – it contains the UVaxine complex, which is able to protect the skin from photoaging and activate its natural protective properties. But the miracles don’t end there. Thanks to the RNOVHYA ingredient, the product improves the regeneration processes of the upper layers of the skin and renews the production of hyaluronic acid.

Alika Zhukova, beauty editor

Pros: the foundation has a weightless texture that is very easy to apply (I distribute it without a mirror, and everything is perfect). After application, the skin becomes radiant, healthy, even and very soft. I can’t help but mention the fragrance – unobtrusive, pleasant and very delicate.

Cons: high price, but if you take into account the fact that the product also protects against photoaging and helps to prolong youth, then it’s worth it.

Instant Radiance Booster, Retinol, price upon request

The new primer serum performs two main functions – it nourishes the skin and hides imperfections. Retinol renews the skin and improves its texture, peptides increase tone and elasticity. Also, the product is able to exfoliate dead skin particles, thereby providing a natural glow. The product can be used alone or as a makeup base.

Victoria Dudina, acting editor-in-chief:

Pros: perfectly cares for the skin, heals and moisturizes. Ideal as a base for a foundation.

Cons: serum is good for girls with good skin, pleasant to wear in the summer. However, those with enlarged pores and pimples can be disappointing. It is better for the latter to use funds with a denser texture.

Face Fabric, Giorgio Armani, 3100 rubles

Face Fabric, Giorgio Armani

When developing the foundation, the 3D-technology MicroFil texturizer was used – a special elastic polymer, thanks to which the product is distributed along the contour of the face, and the excess evaporates. The Face Fabric formula conceals all imperfections, tightens pores and mattes them.

Anna Nechaeva, editor of the section “He and She”

Pros: the tonal mousse has a pleasant powdery texture. After application, there is no shine, the skin is matte and even. The foundation has a fresh scent, and after application it magically takes on the desired shade, becoming invisible on the skin.

Cons: not found.

Cons: not found.

Invisible Correcting Foundation, EISENBERG, 5049 рублей

Invisible Correcting Foundation, EISENBERG

The tonal base hides all imperfections, evens out the complexion and “works” for 12 hours, all depending on climatic conditions. Thanks to its Trio-Molecular formula, it stimulates skin renewal and regeneration, while pomegranate and sweet almond extracts give it a radiant glow.

Elena Karlina, star editor

Pros: the product is liquid, before applying you need to shake the jar well, in which there is even a special ball. I love this structure, it is easy to apply and leaves small peeling invisible. Half pressing the pump is enough for the whole face. It does not clog pores, and it really lasts for 12 hours stated on the package. Another manufacturer claims that the cream protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation; here we will take our word for it. They also promise that the cream will take care of the skin of the face, which is also a huge plus.

Cons: after I tried Eisenberg, the rest of the foundation abruptly ceased to be in demand by me. Wasteful! (Ha ha.)

Pure Light, Yves Rocher, 970 rubles

The tonal fluid provides a perfect complexion and does not dry the skin at all thanks to Edulis cell water – a hydration activator. It contains more than 96% of components of natural origin, and the formula is absolutely non-comedogenic.

Olga Safonova, Deputy Chief Editor

Pros: a very light foundation that does not feel at all on the skin. However, it slightly evens out the tone and gives a slight shine.

Cons: it will not work to hide pronounced imperfections on the skin with its help (but it is not intended for this), for this it is not dense enough, but it is quite enough to give a good color and moisturize.

Advanced Lift Fluid, Pierre Rene, 1000 rubles

Advanced Lift Fluid, Pierre Rene

The liquid foundation creates an adjustable sheer to medium coverage. An exclusive formula based on acmella flower extract performs the function of natural botox, while vitamins A, E and PP improve the elasticity and density of the skin.

Natalya Lev, editor of the section “Children”

Pros: the foundation is lightweight, has a pleasant smell and is well applied. Her masking effect is quite good, however, severe inflammations will have to be masked with a corrector.

Cons: not found.

The long-lasting foundation lasts up to 16 hours and provides a perfect coverage that can range from medium to heavy. The Skin Optimizing Complex contains extracts of raspberry, apple and watermelon to help increase elastin production and improve skin texture.

Pros: The foundation is available in more than 15 shades, so choosing the right one is easy. I gave preference to a tone called Punjab and it was right. It merged perfectly with the skin and was completely invisible on the face, and even lasted all day!

Cons: To be honest, I did not find any shortcomings in the product. I will continue to use it.

Anna Nechaeva, editor of the He and She column

Pros: the foundation has a convenient applicator with a sponge, the texture itself is liquid, almost transparent. If you choose the right tone, then the product will be invisible on the skin. Perfectly masks skin imperfections and evens out its tone.

Victoria Dudina, acting editor-in-chief

Pros: I can say that this is one of the best remedies that I have ever tried. The product fits perfectly on the skin, hides imperfections, while a fairly light texture does not prevent it from hiding minor skin imperfections. Affordable price is generally one big huge plus.

Cons: not found.
