Wedding Make up..... Foundation

When choosing your Foundation for your Perfect Day there are a few things you need to consider, it needs to be natural looking, have good Longevity, be a perfect match to your body.... Don't be shy go to a few department stores & ask for some samples (That's why they have them) and test them out over a day or two, take photos of yourself outside in natural light to make sure you don't get flash back from the SPF or that it doesn't oxidise throughout the day... as I'm sure no one wants to look like a Casper the Ghost or an Oompa Lumpa in their Wedding Pictures!

There are so many different foundations all offering something different, just sample, sample, sample until you find your perfect texture, cover & result! But If your not a fan of medium to full coverage foundations try a BB or CC cream I love Pür minerals CC Cream, Dior BB Cream & Liole BB Cream the provide lovely coverage that will even out your skin tone whilst still looking very natural.

Also like I said in my Primer Post, if you splurge on a great primer you could get away with wearing a Drug Store foundation as there are some fantastic ones out at the moment that are under £10.00!

My current favourites are: Bourjois Healthy Mix, Rimmel wake me up, Revlon Coverstay.
