Beauty | The perfect base



I have ventured into the world of high end foundations, and I can't see me leaving this beauty behind any time soon. 

My sister has been working at Selfridges, and before Christmas I was dying for a new foundation, absolutely everything was drying out my usually oily skin. Which was really strange for me, but I am putting it down to the terrible winter weather. I begged my sister to tell me which foundation I should buy, and she recommended a million and one.. But she had been working on the Dior counter, and said that their Diorskin Star Foundation was worth the money.. 

I toddled off to Selfridges, and got a full face of foundation done, miles better than a shoddy colour match on the side of your jaw like I've had at other beauty counters. The woman applied the foundation with a beauty sponge, which is very reasonably priced at Dior (cheaper than the Beauty Blender). The foundation feels so lightweight and settles beautifully on the skin. And the coverage can be built to quite a high coverage, it covers my redness and blemishes really easily. It honestly doesn't feel like you're wearing foundation at all.. It has a finish that isn't matte or dewy, I find that a slight brush of powder finishes and sets the foundation perfectly.

What's your favourite high end base? Will you be heading to Dior anytime soon..
