My Current Favourite Foundations!

 Favourite Foundations!



What happens when you start on a makeup journey?, Its usually means being confused to what colour matches as foundation and getting that completely wrong! wearing a dark lipliner with a light lipstick remember that phase in the 90's. I have long since moved on from this. I think reaching your 40's you finally get the right groove for makeup. Since the ample Youtube videos arrived I have managed to sort of teach myself the right look for when and how to apply, I love that this information is available so easily now! so believe me Im a beauty junkie for sure!

This is where my love for makeup especially foundations came from. My taste and favourites change all the time depending on mood the season and how my skin is feeling. 

I have a huge Muji drawer crammed full of foundations small bottles large moisturising colour correcting seasonal things! list goes on! and my current favourites are as follows:

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation





Its a long time  favourite for many bloggers and rightly so, this foundation is not dependant on seasons or how your skin may feel. Its a lovely thick creamy consistency that glides over your skin, it has a build-able type of consistency which is what I like it makes it much more versatile, lighter during the day and heavier in the evening. Works especially well with dry skin but I can't see it not working for someone with combination skin. Lots of shades to choose from.

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue 



Bare Minerals doesn't get the recognition it should . I came across this brand by chance one day and I swear by it for dry skin. This is my go to foundation for the summer. Its dewy, glowy, perfect for a sun kissed look, little concealer bronzer and you are good to go. People don't talk about this foundation enough  I wish they would. SPF 30 which is so good for being on holiday. I burn easily so for me good protection is key and at the same time a good coverage so this foundation is by far my holy grail during the hot months. its a light coverage initially but you can build up. 

Giorgio Armani Power Fabric





This is my new foundation, one that I have fallen in love with! I was always meaning to try the Illuminous silk foundation and never got around to it when I went to the counter and told them I preferred a fuller coverage I was pointed in this direction, I certainly can't compare, and one day will try the illumnious silk foundation but for now this Power Fabric is amazing its silky smooth very moisturising and cream like when applied. One pump pretty much gives you a good coverage but if you wish two pumps thats more than enough. Theres no dry residue left its a very flawless finish neither matt or dewy. I think this also can be used for any season and be used for all skin types. SPF 25 which is pretty good.

Mac Matchmaster 




Random purchase just because it was new a few months back and was really very impressed with the feel of the foundation and the coverage slightly lighter but can be built up, though only one issue blends better with a blending sponge rather than a brush seems to leave streaks! You need patience to work this into your skin so a quick application won't work. SPF 15 disappointing for me I wouldn't really take this on holiday especially if like me you are Fair and burn on your face it will not protect you a great deal. 

Tom Ford Traceless Foundation Stick




This purchase is perfect for nights out where your pictures need to be flawless. Its a stick with a creamy consistency yellow undertones so suits anyone with red pigmentation in their face. Apply in small amounts directly onto your face, trick is to not to over do it! otherwise starts looking little caky. As long as you get that part right its a perfect coverage for a special night out. Thats how I use it. I have hardly made a dent in it and have had it for over a year now. 

Thats pretty much my favourites right now. What foundations are you loving at the moment. Are you like me and change according to season or do you stick to what you love no matter what?

Clerkenwell Vinatge Clothing And Accessorise Fair

Clerkenwell Vintage Fashion Fair


For those you you that don't know, this is a fair thats been established since 2009. Its location is the wonderful and unique and very much vintage themed CourtHouse Hotel in Clerkenwell East London. Its in a great hip and trendy part of London.


Guaranteed to see slightly eccentric individuals with very much their own style and bespoke way of dressing! 

This fair was great for any people who like the 40's/50's/60/s and 80's. I didn't necessarily feel greatly inspired by all the clothes but the Accessorise were great and certainly got my imagination running wild. Hats, Old antique Jewellery fabulous shoes and not to mention the wacky and designer labelled belts fit for a lady with Ostrich sized legs!





I succeeded in purchasing a Coco Channel scarf that screams Designer exactly what I Like, tacky I know but I need people to know its designer no subtlety here darling! Sale price £55 I got her down to £20! bargain hey and a Lovely Cross body bag from the 80's, good hard and robust kind of leather mix colour of brown and black with a really unique clasp, its a golden running panther as you can see in the picture and I think thats what makes the bag! Sale Price £65 I got it down to £30!




Once you have shopped and quenched that need to be fashionable, wander into the lounge of the hotel and enjoy some live jazz music was so much fun great music good vibe loved it! Just a little bit of random Information, the hotel has been built where the courthouse prison was they still have the cells where the Krays brothers ( Eastlondon Gangsters of the 60's) were imprisoned, they have made it a part of the lounge area slightly creepy yes but interesting nonetheless. 

For those of you looking to go, this fair will be running throughout the year. Cost only £4 get yourself on the mailing list and when theres sellers you are interested in go and attend... Its worth checking out, its a great day out and why not check a different part of London out.
