The Foundation Series: Second (Cream) Foundation

I admit that cream foundations aren't my favourite and thus, haven't actually tried that many. Cream foundations are better suited to those of you with normal to drier skins because creams tend to be more emoilient than liquids.

I'm setting this one out a wee bit differently to my liquid one simply because while these are beautiful foundations there aren't any I'd outright say were amazing for oily skins etc.

So let's stop blethering on and get right into my 3 picks for cream foundation. All of these are medium to full coverage but can be sheered down if you so desire.

Graftobian HD Glamour Creme Foundation


This is probably the one I'd recommend across the board. Not perfect for oilier skins but this foundation has the most gorgeous, creamy texture and makes the skin look flawless. It glides on the skin and comes in loads of different colours so if you're willing to do the research for shades online then you will be pleased. Because Graftobian is a theatrical/TV makeup brand this foundation looks perfect on camera and in photographs so if you're wanting something for TV or photography then graftobian has you covered. You can order samples of this foundation online which is a huge bonus!

Mally Ultimate Performance Professional Foundation


I really liked this foundation, I really had to set it with a powder but I really loved the look on the skin. Great for anyone with normal skin/not too out of control combo skin. Like the Graftobian option this just looks like butter on the skin, however, the shades do run a tad orangey the darker you go and there isn't a great selection of shades. But if you can find a shade match this is beautiful. Mally Roncal's line is fantastic as a whole so you should check them out at QVC!

Sleek Creme to Powder Foundation


While you would think this would be great for oily skins because it sets, you'd not be that correct. Yes, it sets to a satiny, powdered down finish but it didn't last all day on my skin. That's not to say the product isn't lovely though. In line with the whole skin like thing creams have going on Sleek does a brilliant job. I do like this foundation but I'd recommend you work in smaller sections of the face when applying it and warm it up in your fingers first to get the best application. It sets so you really don't have a lot of playtime with it. But get it right and you're skin looks so lovely. This is a great foundation if you want a matter look to your face. Also, this foundation is available in testers on Sleeks website, but go a shade range darker than you think you are. Sleek runs dark because it is a brand that caters for women of colour.

And there we go! Next week (on time!) we will look at powder and mineral foundations!
