Which Foundation should I choose? It’s really a matter of personal preference. When I select a formula I take into account some important questions. Do I want light, medium or full coverage? Do I want a formula that is moisturizing, or do I need something to help control oil? Do I want something that helps conceal experience lines?
With so many formulas available from Avon, I found it a bit confusing, so I did some research.
Light Coverage
If I want just a hint of color, then the Magix Tint Tinted Moisturizer, is a perfect fit.
This tinted moisturizer brightens skin while blurring imperfections for an instantly better-than-bare look. It’s a “no-makeup” weekend makeup to enhance skin without hiding it and showing off a naturally radiant complexion.
As an added bonus, it is paraben-free and contains botanical extracts to help soothe and calm skin with antioxidant benefits.
BENEFITS
• Instant moisturization
• Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles
• Radiant, sheer coverage
• Won’t settle into lines and pores
• Infused with passion fruit, chia and sunflower seed
• Vitamins E and B5 keep skin hydrated
• Flexible shade range
• Lightweight, breathable feel
• Paraben-free, sulfate-free, talc-free
• Hypoallergenic, dermatologist- and allergy-tested
• Vegan
Before using a tinted moisturizer I allow time for my morning serum, treatments and primer to properly absorb before first. I apply a small amount onto my fingertips tips then blend on my face.
Medium Coverage
When I’m looking for something with a bit more coverage.
Magix Wand gives medium Coverage, and I can use more for a fuller coverage. It’s so versatile, it can be used for full-face coverage or on-the-go touchups. I particularly like the small, purse-friendly stick that lets me conceal, highlight and contour, due to the 16 flexible shades. What’s the secret? Magix Wand has high-pigment, and a light-as-air formula to create a smooth canvas. It perfects tone and blurs flaws with a soft demi-matte finish.

The Ink Lasting Slim Foundation
From THE FACE SHOP is a full coverage foundation. It imperative to shake this formula before using it. I didn’t the first couple things I tried, and my face felt really greasy and heavy. I liked the full coverage that made my face look flawless. The formula felt a bit heavier on my face than the medium coverage formulas. The innovative formula creates a smooth, natural matte finish, and it didn’t settle into my lines. And it is available in 18 shades

To watch the video I created as in try on each formula, jump on over to my you tube channel.
After all my research, and trying each formula, I discovered both pros and cons of each formula. Bottom line, I think the best way to determine which formula is best for you depends on the type of coverage you desire. The great thing, you could give one a try and if you not satisfied, take advantage of our (limited time) satisfaction guarantee.
