Ive been using full coverage foundation for years, but always felt that its was too heavy during the warmer months. So I decided to venture into the world of Beauty Balms. Having been a big fan of MUA cosmetics, I decided to try their Beauty Balm Foundation, £4, in shade medium. I love MUA for the fact that they provide good quality and good value, and with their beauty balm they did not let me down.
On application, the BB Foundation provided the coverage it promised, skin tone and blemished were evened out and covered. The BB Foundation felt lightweight on the skin, for a dewy look the foundation was best left on its own, or for a more matt look a loose powder applied on top was suffice. The only negative point I can raise for the BB Foundation is that the staying power on the face is not as long as my usual full coverage foundation. After a few hours wear, my skin felt greasy to the touch, with patches appearing upon my face.
After reading many positive blog post about the BB Foundation I can only conclude that this greasy effect can only be down to my skin type, combination skin. For my foundations I opt for oil free products, as to minimise the greasy effect, if MUA could make their Beauty Balm Foundation oil free, then I'd most certainly be a convert.
