My all time favourite foundation.

And the winner is ... - Laura Mercier silk crème foundation. In my long 15 years of life on this planet, I have definitely used a LOT of different foundations, from everybody's favorite - mac to essence (i know, i know!)  but never have I found a foundation that made me actually like the way my skin looked and the only way to cover my diabolical face was layers and layers of foundation which just looked well, cakey to say the least! I could never ever find a full coverage foundation that looked NATURAL ! Until I found my one true love - Laura Mercier. Laura mercier's silk creme foundation is just - WOW. A rich and luminous foundation offering full coverage while hydrating and protecting the skin. But do not be fooled any skin type can use this, I myself having oily-combination skin find this perfect as it's oil free (bonus!). You can completely build what coverage you want using this foundation and it will in no way look like your wearing layers of foundation - completely natural but still FULL coverage without actually looking like it's full coverage if you catch my drift. Amazingness in a bottle. A little bit really does go a long way with this foundation and it lasts ages. This foundation is an investment (Well for me anyway!) at € 48 ($42.00) but trust me it is completely worth it as i said a little goes a looooooooong way.  I personally like to use my mac 148 brush to apply this but it's so blend-able and easy to apply that using your fingers will also do just as good of a job, if not better. It comes in 10 different shades ranging from soft ivory to hazlenut beige. I have the medium ivory but at the time i bought this i had a tan (might have been from a bottle, might have been from the sun) so this is slightly off my skin tone but i still can't help myself from wearing it everyday!  This is most defiantly long wearing and with a bit of powder it will last through the whole day/night. It's perfect for hard to cover skin pigmentation and acne. The average over all rating of this foundation is 4.8 stars although, i would have to give it the full 5 stars. All in all i would recommend this to anyone searching for a full coverage foundation.
