Photo: first foundation I tried on my quest to find the best skin-finish formula was the Il Makiage Woke Up Like This Flawless Base Foundation. Keep scrolling to see 10 skin-finish foundations that meet my strict and unbendable standards (hint: the best one is at the very bottom). The products that fall into this category do all the things they're supposed to do without screaming "foundation." They provide a flexible, natural-looking finish, and they're perfect for daily wear. That's why, as you can imagine, I'm absolutely loving the rise of "skin-finish" face makeup. The only way it stays is if it looks almost undetectable and gives a my-skin-but-better effect. If I decide it looks too apparent or the focus falls on the makeup rather than my skin, I wipe it away. It's for these reasons that I often remove a fresh coat of foundation halfway through the day. On the other hand, I hate the way it can feel tacky, look powdery, and exacerbate my pores and fine lines. On one hand, I love the way it can disguise my rosacea, even out my skin tone, and give my complexion a certain luminosity. The quality of this new drugstore foundation is comparable to high-end formulas and it’s definitely worth considering for its silky, lightweight formula that covers well.I have a complicated relationship with foundation-a tugging back-and-forth, love-hate kind of thing. I think it is more suitable for dry skin (it doesn’t accentuate dryness) and normal/combination skin types. Overall, I really like Natureluxe silk foundation because of its soft, natural finish and hydrating formula that wears comfortably throughout the day. SPF 10 is a nice touch but that’s certainly not enough, so a higher SPF would have been better. Here it is swatched and blended in on my hand. Covergirl has also done a good job with the packaging design and I like the squeeze tube that dispenses just the right amount of product. It has a light fragrance that doesn’t stick around. As for the staying power, it stays put for a good 5 – 6 hours on my skin before it starts to wear off slightly. It doesn’t cover up all your imperfections but evens out skin beautifully for a fresh, polished look. The coverage is medium and that’s what I prefer since full coverage foundations often feel heavy on skin or tend to cake up. It has a satin finish with a touch of “dewiness” and looks very natural on skin. This liquid foundation has a creamy texture that goes on smoothly and blends effortlessly. I was not sure about the shade when I signed up but luckily got a shade (Chamois 330) that is a really close match to my skin tone! As stated in the description, Natureluxe silk foundation does have a lightweight feel and feels hydrating on my dry skin. With a touch of cucumber water and a hint of jojoba and rose hip extracts, light yet luxurious COVERGIRL Silk Foundation exchanges select heavy synthetics for carefully-chosen natural ingredients. Redefine natural beauty with our lightweight silk foundation. Product description (from Covergirl website) Luxury touched by Nature I have been wanting to try out the Natureluxe Silk foundation since the time it released and recently got a chance (as a Bzz agent) to review it. Covergirl’s new Natureluxe Silk foundation has been touted as luxury makeup with quality ingredients to provide “flawless, luxurious coverage with a barely there feel”.
