Skin Soul Drops - Rouge Bunny Rouge

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re always on the hunt for new and innovative products. Lately we’ve been eyeing the craze over customisable foundations because they’re perfect for those of us who can’t find our exact shade or preferred coverage. Luckily, we've found that Rouge Bunny Rouge has recently launched a product called the Foundation Essence Skin Soul Drops.

This Foundation Essence has the texture of a serum but contains approximately 36% pigments so you can mix it with any moisturising or priming products to make a personalised foundation. This super-blendable fluid has a pore-minimising demi-matte finish that lasts all day! Rouge Bunny Rouge suggests mixing one drop with any base for a tinted moisturiser-like finish, and five drops for a concealer-like finish. We prefer using around 3-4 drops for a natural every day look. No matter how many drops you add, it still has a natural appearance due to the Jojoba, Mimosa, and Sunflower waxes that mimic skin texture. So far only three shades are available, but mixing them with coloured bases makes them easily adjustable to suit your skin tone. These drops are also perfect for lightening or darkening a foundation that you already have!

Thalgo - Anti-Ageing Foundation Radiance Corrector

Here at The Amazing Blog, we want more from our foundations. The majority now give us SPF protection and flawless coverage, but as we're seeing more and more 'skincare' foundations, we want our foundation to treat our skin as well as making it look good. Thalgo have answered our prayers with the new Anti-ageing Foundation Radiance Corrector, it provides great coverage, colour correction and the benefits of anti-ageing skincare.

The three available shades are designed to correct and enhance the complexion. Whether your skin tone is fair or darker, the foundation will melt into the skin to provide a customised result. The silky formula combines the essential power of Marine Silicium and biomimetic pigments to reveal beautiful, youthful-looking skin. The Silicium is truly the hero ingredient; it not only encourages cell renewal but also strengthens and protects your skin. The result is smoother, firmer and even skin, just what every girl wants.

The make-up performance is equally impressive. The rose tint provides colour correction against dark spots, to give you a luminous look. The use of fine mineral pigments enables the foundation to blend naturally with any skin shades, and the addition of spherical powders enhances skin brightness by providing light in shadowy areas of the face. We were astounded by the lasting power of the foundation; even on oily skin, no touch ups were needed. It can be evenly applied with your fingers or a damp sponge and dries to a fine, almost powdery finish with a velvety texture.

The English Mineral Makeup Company - Mineral Foundation

When it comes to make-up, we always favour a flawless finish here at The Amazing Blog. However, we never like to look caked in foundation. So when The English Mineral Makeup Company  sent over their Mineral Foundation for us to try, we were happy to let our skin breathe whilst giving ourselves comfortable coverage.

 

One thing we found seriously impressive about the brand is the sheer range of colours to choose from. With 30 shades to choose from, whether you’re porcelain or ebony, their foundation shades literally have you covered. It’s so refreshing to find a brand that cater to every skin colour. The lightweight powder provides a decent amount of coverage, and buffs easily into the skin when using the brands super soft kabuki brush. Lasting all day, the foundation is also 100% vegan and 100% pure mineral, so it’s really pure enough to sleep in. Great for those who are environment conscious, or simply for those looking for a soft focus foundation, The English Mineral Makeup Company is certainly worth checking out.

Living Nature Foundation

We all know how difficult finding THE perfect foundation can be. With so many different foundations available and so many changes within our skin, it’s always a challenge. However, when Living Nature sent The Amazing Blog a sample of their foundation, we couldn’t wait to see if it was what we were looking for and it didn’t disappoint. Available in 5 shades ranging from pure buff’ to ‘pure sand’, Living Nature has a good spectrum of colours. We tried out the ‘Pure Buff’ shade here at The Amazing Blog and found it to be light and silky with buildable coverage. Unlike most foundations, it was not greasy, glided on easily and blended effortlessly into the skin. The foundation is full of natural oils and minerals, including Manuka Oil, which protects and provides a flawless coverage. Founded in New Zealand, Living Nature focuses on the healing properties of native plants to create gorgeous skin products that look amazing without being harsh on the environment or your skin.
