Nars VS Charlotte Tilbury

I am often getting asked about what foundation I use so I thought this would be very helpful for some of you. As I am absolutely obsessed with buying and trying new products and as a make up artist I thought I would do a review on my favourite foundations. I have tried so many different brands and types of foundations to suit my skin and these are my top 2..

Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

Okay so let me start with my all time favourite.. Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. 

I have nothing bad to say about this foundation. I have been using this for about 6 months now and still obsessed. With other foundations I have experienced it going very cakey as the day goes on and when I've been wearing the foundation for a couple of months it starts reacting differently with my skin and goes 'mouldy'. 

Nars is very light weight on the skin, It doesn't even feel like I am wearing foundation. It enhances the natural contours of the face and doesn't make your face look one dimensional and one flat colour, just looks very skin like. 

I would say its medium coverage but can build it up to a full coverage. Its has a dewy finish so I wouldn't recommend this foundation for oily skin types. I like to wear this one in the day with just a little concealer and some highlighter on the high points of my face to create the 'strobing' effect. 

The formula is a very thin and a runny consistency. A little goes a long way so I personally only use 2 pumps in the day time and if I'm going on a night out I would use 3 to to build up the coverage so I can layer other products on top. 

I have olive skin so I use the shade 'Punjab' which has a yellow undertone. 

I have recently started trying Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation for the past month or so as I have been hearing good things about her products. 

This foundation is a very full coverage which I don't normally go for. The foundation is a matte finish which again I don't normally go for. When I first applied it I didn't really like the finish it gave to my face, it was very matte and my face looked very flat and one colour. 

As I played around with the foundation a little more I started to love it. The foundation is very long lasting and I loved the fact I didn't have to powder my shiny areas! 

This foundation is amazing for nights out because you can layer products on top and everything blends in amazingly.

The consistency is very thick so I only use 1-2 pumps. I recommend this foundation for both skin types as it is mattifying so perfect for oily skin. The product is also moisturising so is good for dry skin types too. Its just a matter of what finish you like best.. Dewy or matte. 

I would only recommend this foundation to those who like to wear a lot of make up on a day to day basis. 

I use the shade 'Medium' which is a little pale for my skin colour so contouring so a must!  

It has a very neutral undertone so would suit any undertone wether pink or yellow.  

I hope you found this helpful, If so please share my blog post to others.
