I have been wearing foundation since way back when I was introduced to makeup.  Since that time I have dabbled in differing brands and formulations. I do, however, have one complaint, and that is the type of coverage.  Some of the foundations on the market are too thick, while others lacked enough coverage.  But, after much reflection, I was able to narrow the foundation universe to three top choices.

TOP FAVORITE FOUNDATIONS

1. Fenty Beauty Pro-Filt’r – The foundation, created by the singer Rhianna, focuses on a large list of a hard-to-match skin tones, incorporates formulas for a large variety of skin types, and finally pinpoints universal shades.  The Fenty Beauty foundation comes in a 50 shades and provides medium to full coverage.  It may be purchased at Sephora for $35.00.

2.  Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Foundation – This particular foundation is not new to the market, but it has withstood the test of time.  The 24-hour foundation is flawless, natural, has a matte finish, and hides imperfection with buildable coverage.  The foundation is fantastic for uneven skintone, and it covers imperfections.  The Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place foundation retails for $42.00.  You can  find it at Sephora, Macy’s and www.esteelauder.com.

3,  Bobbi Brown Long Wearing Foundation – This foundation offers 16-hour wear time, complete coverage, and a natural multidimensional matte finish that is comfortable, breatheable and completely weightless.  The foundation is completely and totally perfect for oily skin.  It is a fantastic foundation that was tested in extreme heat and humidity.  If you live in the deep South, this foundation is perfect for you!  The Bobbi Brown Long Wear foundation retails for $46.00, and may be purchased at Nordstrom, Macy’s and Sephora.

These are my picks for top three foundation picks.  I tried to make sure the foundations were under $50.00 and could be found at most major retail outlets.  What is your favorite foundation and why?

You’ve hit that age.  The age where fine lines begin to appear.  What can you possibly do to help get rid of these lines from hell?  Introducing Instantelixir Proactive Repair cream.  This product plumps and hydrates your skin for a more smooth appearance of firmness.  Not to mention the fact this cream is cruelty-free; something which is very important to me.

The Instantelixir Proactive makes many claims such as its product provides firmness and replenishes necessary nutrients.  Not only that, it brightens, renews and rejuvenates you skin to help make it glow.  But wait there is more, with this new cream you will notice your skin being softer, cleaner and smoother.

The Instant Elixir Proactive Repair cream utilizes powerful ingredients, such as collagen to expose essential nutrients into your skin.  The Instantelixir places other drugstore skin creams to shame.  You are getting natural nutrients such as vitamins, peptides and antioxidents, which protect and beautify your marvelous skin.

Instantelixir Proactive Repair Cream contains too many benefits to list. It firms skin structure, increases collagen, reduces lines and wrinkles, enriches skin hydration, etc.  If you are in the market to transform your skin, you are going to have to try something more than what is available at your local drugstore or dollar market.  So go to the computer and search for the Instant Elixir Repair Moisturizer.

It is priced at $24.96 and may be purchased through www.amazon.com.
