Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in no.3

 It's my birthday at the end of the month so my sister was asking me what I wanted. I've been wanting foundation for quite a while now and I've heard good things about Illamasqua who apparently do good foundation if you're a pale little snail like me. I've never worn foundation before since my skin's fairly ok, but I've always liked that ever so slightly caked-on, china-doll look (I think the natural look is overrated these days) so I went into Illamasqua in Debenhams to test some out.



The result looks… well, judging by the photos, exactly the same as the way I look without foundation! But in real life it’s quite spectacular, trust me. You don’t know what you’re missing.

Also I have fuzzy hair and still can’t take pictures of myself without a mirror.

    What does ir feel in the skin? Do you think is light, creamy, heavy...? I am also considering to get Illamasqua foundation for myself.

    1. I've not worn other foundations before to compare it to, but I'd say, compared to naked skin, it doesn't feel heavy at all! :) I was worried it might sting or make my face feel tight, but it felt very natural. It rubs off a bit if you touch it or rub it, but I think that's probably normal with any foundation.

      I did a slightly better post on it here: http://alisonlisahorn.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/showing-off-new-foundation-primer-and.html
