It's kind of funny how I navigate between the superradiant and dewy skin and then go craving a complete matte and full coverage look. I am sure the last one had a lot to do with the fact my skin took a bit of a downfall recently and I wanted to revive it and make it look as flawless as possible.
I never was really a fan of the matte finish, but now I do understand why so many people love it - the longevity is quite impressive! Also, the thing with wearing full coverage matte foundation is that you don't necessarily have to go for the whole flat no glow look. You can still have a nice clean, matte looking complexion and add your favorite highlighter, lipgloss etc. which is my favorite way to do it right now. I used to have combination skin but as I got older it's more on the normal-dry side during cooler months of the year and then it switches to normal-combo during Summer.
Today I want to talk about four foundations that are my go tos when I want full coverage, matte finish that stays on an entire day. Three of them are considered high-end but I also made sure to include my drugstore favorite (just as a side note the entire L'Oreal Infallible foundation line is absolutely fab! I have them all and love using them but I picked the one with the most matte finish for this post).
TOP 4 FAVORITE FULL COVERAGE MATTE FINISH FOUNDATIONS
Drugstore
L'Oreal Infallible ($12.99) - I've written about this foundation before in my Best-Selling High-End Foundations Dupes post if you want to read a more in-depth review, but overall it is a fantastic foundation that gives my skin a flawless, matte finish that stays on the entire day. The only downfall to it is that I have to be very quick with blending because it dries fast.High-End
Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF15 ($46) - It feels very lightweight on the skin yet it provides full, matte coverage. It blends effortlessly and the finish is matte but not flat. I used it with their mattifying primer and really loved how it makes my skin look! It's definitely more on the pricey side, but I believe you can get 20% off when you subscribe to their newsletter.
Inglot HD Perfect Coverage Foundation ($37) - I've received this foundation as a part of my MUA online makeup course starter kit (you can check the posts here & here) and it wasn't until recently that I noticed that not only this foundation provides a fantastic coverage but it also photographs beautifully! Inglot products are one of my favorites especially since the brand is from Poland (my home country) so I used to buy a lot of their stuff back in the day but never got around their foundations, so I am glad I got my hands on this one because it's amazing (just like their concealer from the same line).
Rodan + Fields Radiant Defense SPF30 ($66) - I've received this foundation as a pr and I remember giving it a shot not really expecting anything full coverage but oh wow, it offers beautiful full coverage and you only need a little bit of product to use. I remember I applied it the first time and sealed it with my Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Mist and it stayed untouched for hours!
So here are my favorite full coverage, matte finish foundations.
