Would you recommend Elizabeth Arden flawless finish foundation?

I personally wouldn;t go for it,





For expensive foundations, I highly recommend:





Girogio Armani Luminous Silk foundation: gives you a lovely glow, looks natural %26amp; doesn't clog pores %26amp; blends in well. It's one of my top favourites. It has buildable coverage (I'd say medium).


Available at some House of Fraser stores, Harvey Nichols, Harrods %26amp; also Selfridges. (I think about 拢27)

Also, Giorgio Armani Face Fabric. This one has won the Marie Claire Prix D'Excellence Beauty award. It is superlight %26amp; looks flawless %26amp; natural. I'd say coverage is light (definitely less then the Luminous Silk); it is invisible makeup with a 3D Micro-fil鈩?technology.


As described on Marie Claire: ';...'Part cream, part powder and part tinted moisturiser, it鈥檚 whisper-light and goes onto the face invisibly creating a perfectly uniform colour that lasts the day.鈥?I think that's quite accurate when I tried it.

Another one which is also excellent is Chanel Pro Lumiere. Looks beautiful on the skin. (I think about 拢30)





For cheaper ones which are also very good quality:





Myface Mymix foundation (featured in Daily Mail; see below for details). It is excellent value for money, looks beautiful on the skin %26amp; as mentioned on Daily Mail: ';..looks as if you have had a facelift..';. Also, gives you a lovely glow %26amp; what I noticed it doesn't sit on the skin but blends in really well %26amp; also doesn't get into pores.


Only available at some Boots stores, please contact Boots to find out(拢12).

(scroll down to middle where it says in big letters in pink box: They Say, I Say)





Revlon Colorstay: excellent quality %26amp; lasts a long time. I'd say quite matte on the skin, fairly medium-high coverage.(拢12)





PS. With the more expensive ones, go to their counter, ask them to match your skin for the right colour, %26amp; to give you a small sample to try at home to see if it suits your skin %26amp; colouring %26amp; if you like it. That way you won't waste money.





*****TIP: Make sure your foundation matches your skin tone exactly, otherwise you'll end up looking orangey/fake.To find the right colour, use the samples and put it on your jaw line on bare skin and blend it in. If (in natural light) the foundation blends into your skin, making it look natural and not noticeable, you have your match!








*****TIP: Always wear moisturizer about 5 minutes before applying foundation. It makes your foundation go on smoother %26amp; more evenly.A really good one that moisturizes well is Boots Traditional range Moisturizer with Vitmian A%26amp;E





***TIP: If you want to achieve a natural look, only apply foundation to those areas of the face that actually needs coverage; such as redness,uneven skin tone etc..This will avoid the cakey look %26amp; gives a really natural look!Would you recommend Elizabeth Arden flawless finish foundation?
Flawless Finish is one of the name of their collections. It has many different types of foundation in the collection. Check this out

I have Flawless FInish Mousse Makeup. It comes out like a hair mousse-kinda cool and I found my shade which is also great. BUT, it is extremely oily. I got shiny within an hour. It gives almost no coverage. So you will benefit only if you have dry and perfect skin. I give it thumbs down.Would you recommend Elizabeth Arden flawless finish foundation?
Personally, i find it too heavy and greasy, but my mum has used it like since she was born or something and she swears by it. It's very thick, if thats how to like it. I find that the mouse ones are much better (especially the dream matte mouse) or mineral foundations.
it's a good make and the girls at their counter are usually well informed.
