So recently I had been looking into buying a new foundation but had NO idea what to get, there's just so many hyped up foundations rotating over social media that it gets really confusing. I decided to purchase the Too Faced Born This Way foundation as it has tonnes of amazing reviews, especially from those with tanner skin like myself. It was Ramadhan so I couldn't be bothered to go all the way to town and get shade matched so I took my chances and guessed (please don't do this LOL). The worst bit was that it arrived on Eid day when I wanted to wear it, but thankfully 'Warm Beige' was a perfect match for me (about NC35 for reference). It has just the right amount of peachiness for my summer tan.
This foundation retails at £29 at Debenhams where I purchased it from. The packaging is so cute yet feels very durable as most Too Faced products feel. You get a standard 30ml of foundation which typically lasts me well over 6 months.
Claims by Too Faced:
'Coconut Water helps delicately replenish skin's moisture levels without over hydrating'
'Infused with the resilient Alpine Rose to brighten the skin's appearance and promote elasticity'
'Hyaluronic Acid provides long-lasting, skin-balancing hydration for a smoother, more youthful appearance'
And I completely agree. It's a semi- matte making it perfect for all skin types, but it makes my skin immediately look radiant which I hadn't found with other foundations unless they were dewy. One pump is more than enough to get a medium coverage, but it can be built up without looking or feeling cakey. It almost feels like a CC cream when blended out with a Beauty Blender. This foundation lasted on my skin flawlessly for the whole of Eid day which was about 12 hours.
Overall, I love it. So much. It's my new holy grail foundation as it flies way past Nars Sheer Glow which I used to love. I literally can't fault it apart from the brand not accommodating to very tanned skin which I hope they do soon! Give it a try and let me know what you think! xxxx
