Looking to achieve that healthy natural glow with Foundation?
Then you're in the right place. It's really hard to find a good foundation that gives you:
1. Great coverage
2. A smooth complexion
3. A natural glow
I don't know many girls that are 100% confident with having their bare face on show and if you have crap skin like me then you definitely don't. But just because you don't have amazing skin shouldn't mean you have to cake yourself in foundation that ends up blocking up your pores and making your skin worse.
Two foundations that I've been wearing for the past 6 months are Boujoris Healthy Mix and Max Factor Skin Luminizer. I've found that they both give great coverage, blend really well and give you a gorgeous natural glow.
My favourite out of the two is Bourjois Healthy Mix. It smells good, stays on for longer and blends in well with your natural skin tone. It's currently on offer at Superdrug for £9.99.
Bourjois is one of the high street brands out there that really focuses on quality and I recently found out that the same company that makes Chanel make up also makes Bourjois make up which is interesting seen as though Chanel charge a fortune for their make up. Overall, I don't think I've ever had a bad Bourjois product so I highly recommend you check them out!

Make Up Must Buys
I've recently started a new job and I simply do not have time for liquid foundation at 7am. However, I've managed to find two make up items that provide great coverage and are quick to apply.
My first make up must buy is the Primark foundation stick which is only £2. It's great for covering up dark circles and redness. I usually apply this on my nose, forehead and under my eyes. I was really surprised at how good this was when I first bought it seen as though it's Primark but it's actually really good quality. I've used the max factor foundation stick before and I find it really drys out your skin whereas Primark's foundation stick is more like a concealer and gives that flawless look.
I then use the Gosh mineral powder (which is on offer at Superdrug just now for £6). I apply this with a powder brush and blend everything together. The Gosh mineral powder is amazing because it's so pigmented which means it gives you the same coverage as a liquid foundation. Literally this stuff is of the exact same quality as Bobbi Brown mineral powder. I love it.
