3 FULL-COVERAGE FOUNDATIONS I LOVE

I'm always looking for a new foundation-- it's one of my favorite makeup products to try out! What kind of coverage do you like? Depending on what look I'm going for or the time of year, I like both light and full-coverage. I'm also usually an all or nothing person when it comes to makeup-- either I wear none or I wear a ton! Lighter ones are great to do a fresh "no makeup" makeup look (which still usually requires a lot of makeup-- LOL!) but for "full glam" days I always go for a full-coverage look. If you're in the market for a new one to try-- here are 3 Full-Coverage Foundations That I Love!

**I have normal-to-dry skin! When I apply foundation, I always use either my favorite sponge or foundation brush. I love them both equally so I just switch back + forth. **


3 FULL-COVERAGE FOUNDATIONS I LOVE  

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation 

The Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation is so so good- definitely a holy grail for me! I have been wearing this one for several years now and it has rave reviews for good reason. It is very full coverage that gives a matte, flawless finish. It's marketed for oily and combo skin but I have normal-to-dry and still love it! If you're like me and like a matte finish, definitely give this one a try. The shade range they offer is also insane-- it comes in 55 different shades in all undertones (cool, neutral + warm). I have always bought 1C1 Cool Bone (light for cool/rosy undertones) which has always been just a tad too dark. It use to be the lightest shade so I made it work but now they have a few new lighter shades! Next time I re-purchase I will try 1C0 Shell!  

Lawless Woke Up Like This Foundation

Another long-time favorite of mine is the Lawless Woke Up Like This Foundation. This one also offers a full-coverage finish that I would say leans more towards the matte side as well. Something I love about this foundation is that it's full of antioxidants and clean ingredients that are safe for your skin. It has a luxe, sleek design (and pump!) with no silicones or harmful chemicals. I wear the color "Pristine" which is a VERY close match (just a tad darker than my skin). The color works but I would love to see some additional shades added to the line. PS-- also just spotted it on sale here for 30% off!

The Ordinary Coverage Foundation

I can't believe how good this foundation is for the price-- the coverage is amazing and it is under $7!! I have a harder time finding affordable foundations that work well and match my light skin tone. The Ordinary Coverage Foundation is the perfect color/undertone-- I wear the shade 1.0 P. It also really smooths out my skin and with a good primer is very long-wearing and stays put. There are about 21 total shades available here + the packaging has a pump! This one has been my go-to recently, I'm wearing it in the photo above!
