10 Best High Coverage Foundations



In the world of makeup, foundation holds an important place. We can’t expect a good picture when the canvas isn’t it good, right?
Different skin types require different kinds of foundations. If you have scarred skin and are in the healing process, then a foundation with high coverage is for you. Here I am listing some high coverage foundations from all over the globe. They are easily available via popular shopping sites. I myself don’t really use heavy foundations regularly, but these are raved and cult favorites among my family and friends. Having used each at least in 3-5 occasions, I am giving you my favorites!

The Best High Coverage Foundations

1. MAC Studio Sculpt:





It is a super popular high coverage foundation. It gives full coverage and doesn’t look patchy. If you feel it’s inadequate, you can always reapply.

2. Estee Lauder’s Double Wear:

t makes you look flawless and covers up the most notorious scars and gives you a flawless finish. this is one of the best foundations for sensitive skin. Also, it gives a very airy feel and you don’t feel it heavy and obvious. It’s like second skin.

This easily available brand is super trusted and is easy on wallet too. It feels like you are wearing nothing on your face at all.

7. Clinique Superfit Makeup:



Who else likes looking natural with lots of makeup on? ;) Me:D We all want to look pretty naturally but are smart enough to use what we need to, right Clinique’s amazing product is your best friend then. It’s a totally cool product and provides what it claims. Also, Clinique being one of the wonderful brands that also concentrate on skin care with makeup, this foundation helps you handle break outs.

8. Lakme Absolute White Intense Skin Cover SPF 25:

 
 
 This one product I have seen being raved up on by many bloggers and makeup artists alike. It feels great on skin, doesn’t break you out and stays put for long. True to its name, it sure is a silk creme foundations ;)

9. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation:

 

This darling foundation is one of the highly raved and loved products. Now double benefits it is! Use this foundation for high coverage and also a semi matte finish.

10. Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation:




t is one of the re-purchased high coverage foundations for a flawless finish.  Lancome is known to make the best of this foundation and it totally gives you a sheer glow ;) What are your favorites? Which foundation do you depend on for a good finish that lasts for a long time? Have you experienced any breakouts with certain brands? Let us know girls, shoot a comment ;)
Ladies, do keep in mind that having a good foundation alone doesnt help! You need to know how to apply foundation well too. Master that and nobody will ever know that you have a had a scar you need to hide!

Stay Beautilicious!

 

Quick and Easy sexy shimmery eye Makeup Tutorial


Hey guys, I've been wanting to do a tutorial for a while now and it really has been so long!

But finally I've got the chance to do a tutorial for a look that I did in one of the shoot I worked in.



                                                               All you need is:



  • A neutral palette for the neutral day look. (Maybelline Chai Latte or Revlon Copper Spice are good options.)
  • Any coloured long lasting eye pencils. I used Faces Longwear. (Colorbar I-Glides or Ikonic are also good!)
  • Black and white pencils if you want
  • Mascara and fake lashes (optional)
  • Smudger brush/ qtips  

Step 1:
Start with whatever neutral eye makeup you want, it can even be just a wash of a neutral shimmer or gold colour.






Step 2:
I applied a purple eye pencil from Faces to my outer V and lower lid.
 

 


Step 3:
Use a qtip or smudger/ pencil brush to blend out the edges. Remember to work fast since long lasting pencils set super fast! D:
 
 
 
Step 4:
Now, you can leave it at just one colour but for this look I used green as well on the upper lid.
 
 
 
Step 5:
Smudge it up GOOOD! Lol!
 
 
 
Just keep repeating the two steps till you have something you're happy with! ^_^
Final look:
 
 
 
 
 
 
I used a little white pencil on the inner corner too. ^_^
Easy eh?
I hope this tutorial helped you a bit, I feel like it is a bit redundant but I'm sure you'll be able to use it in a hurry.
 I also did this tutorial for girls who have a hard time with makeup and are just beginning. 
Most girls don't have colours in eyeshadow but are bound to have some colour pencils right? ^u^
