Foundation Files; This is where I test out different base products, from concealer to powder, tinted moisturiser and foundation etc, over a period of 7-14 days and post my findings. (Follow me on Instagram,Twitter and Bloglovin so you don't miss a post) So let’s get started!!!

First off some information about me; Skintype: Combination (leaning dry in winter and Oily in Summer). Shade Reference:in between MAC NC45-50/NW43. Undertones: Yellow/Neutral.

Fashion Fair True Fix Foundation

Brand: Fashion Fair

Name: True Fix Foundation*

Coverage: Medium - Full

Shade: Divine Chocolate

Swatch:

What The brand says: These two complementary cream shades are smooth, easy to blend and provide maximum coverage. This foundation creates a semi matte finish to minimize imperfections, promote even skin tone, and conceal problem areas. The cream shades leave a semi matte finish. Available in 30 shades in 15 compacts.

Wear time (with/without primer): The wear time on this is great on my combination skin, while not beeing heavy or cakey and still looking like skin, although you can build this total coverage if needed.

Price (ml): £23 for 14.5g

Pros: 2 shades in one compact

good shade range
Travel friendly
Adapt it to your shade all year round

Cons: UK accessibility

Suitable Skin Types: All (extremely dry may need to prep skin accordingly)

Ingredients:

 

Oxidation: None

Any Other Information: This foundation is housed in a mirrored compact with a puff included, I tend to use a damp beauty blender to apply or a buffing brush, you can find Fashion Fair in select Boots stores, boots.com and debenhams.com.

Conclusion: This is a great cream foundation, that can be built from light to full coverage, or used as a concealer. Having 2 colours in one compact is genius, as most women of colour have at least 2 different tones on their faces, plus it's adaptable to the seasons. For the price of this foundation you get a lot out of it for your money.

Ingredients:

Fashion Fair True Finish Refinning Mineral Foundation Ingredients list

Oxidation: Adapts to your skin tone in a good way

Any Other Information: When I look at the bottle, it looks like it's got shimmer particles, so I thought this would be too luminous for my Combo skin in summer, however that does not translate on the skin and after powdering I'm left with a gorgeous demi-matte finish.

Conclusion: My first foray into Fashion Fair, like most, is from seeing it on my mum's dressing table in the little pink compacts and from time to time being allowed/sneakily using it. I think for this reason it has a nostalgic notion for me in a good and bad way, but Fashion Fair have truly brought the brand up-to-date, while holding onto the ethos of the brand. I was truly spoilt for choice when I went to get colour matched, almost overwhelmed even, can't remember the last time that happened. If you struggle/are tired of struggling to find your shade, I cannot recommend this brand enough, high quality good performing make-up that caters to brownbeauties.
