Foundation Showdown 2016

2016 saw a huge boost in cushion, stick, and matte style foundations. If you follow any beauty bloggers, you’ve probably heard about the Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation. With a price tag of just $10, this product boasts incredible coverage and a decent shade range. Similarly, the L’Oreal Pro Glow Foundation offers long wearing coverage for many skin types and is available in a variety of shades for just $13.

Everyone on the foundation stick train will tell you that all the buzz in the beauty world has been about two brands: Anastasia Beverly Hills vs. Hourglass. While the ABH Foundation Stick is nearly half the price of the other, both offer a wonderful choice of shades and many have said that the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is longer wearing and better for certain skin types.

For those looking for full coverage, try the MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Cushion Foundation  for $38. With 7 shades from deep to fair, the coverage is build-able and lightweight! If you really want to splurge on a new instant classic, the MAKEUP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation will definitely become a top-shelf foundation for many makeup mavens.
