During this festive season, the traditional work Christmas parties may be on hold, but there are still ample opportunities to enjoy gatherings with loved ones. Amid the flurry of December festivities, I seized the chance to put a new foundation to the test.
Opting to trial a new foundation amidst socializing may seem daring, but I viewed it as an ideal scenario to assess its endurance through hours of revelry and merrymaking. The foundation that piqued my interest was Charlotte Tilbury’s renowned Airbrush Flawless Foundation, lauded for its flawless finish, making it a fitting choice for the celebratory season.
As a seasoned beauty writer, I have sampled numerous foundations over the years, with the challenge of accurately matching shades, particularly when buying online. However, Charlotte Tilbury’s online shade matching tool proved to be one of the most reliable I’ve encountered, delivering a shade that closely mirrored the online representation and complemented my skin tone effectively.
There are specific criteria I prioritize in a foundation: seamless blending, sufficient coverage without feeling heavy, and long-lasting wear. Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation excelled in meeting all these requirements effortlessly.
The recent reformulation of the foundation’s shades and formula aimed to enhance hydration and reduce weightiness while maintaining full coverage, prompting my interest in trying it out.
Similar foundations boasting skin-smoothing properties include Lady Gaga’s HAUS Labs Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica and Laura Mercier’s Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation. Both offer extended wear and buildable coverage while imparting a smooth, airbrushed appearance that still looks natural.
A little of the Airbrush Flawless Foundation goes a long way. Initially, I applied too much, resulting in a slightly heavy feel. Adjusting the application to a small amount and layering gradually produced a lighter, more comfortable finish on the skin.
Notably, the foundation blended seamlessly, effectively concealing redness and pigmentation without requiring multiple layers. Furthermore, it served as a suitable base for other makeup products, such as powders and creams, facilitating easy application and blending.
Despite its full coverage, the Airbrush Flawless Foundation offers a skin-like feel akin to a tint rather than a heavy foundation. Lightweight and non-creasing, it maintains a comfortable wear throughout the day, leaving the skin hydrated and smooth without any dryness or cakey texture.
The foundation’s longevity is a standout feature, enduring extended periods without significant fading or patchiness. While a slight touch-up with powder may be necessary to combat shine towards the end of the day, the foundation remains resilient, particularly for individuals with dry skin, as it does not settle into dry patches.
Wearing the Airbrush Flawless Foundation garnered numerous compliments on my skin’s radiant appearance, with many remarking on its luminosity and natural glow, attributing it solely to the foundation without the need for additional facial treatments or highlighters.
In conclusion, Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation is tailored for real-life wear, ideal for evening events due to its full coverage. While it may be too intense for daytime wear for those preferring lighter coverage, it is undoubtedly a go-to choice for the party season.
