Dark Enough? | Do The Latest Foundations Live Up The Hype?

After Fenty Beauty came, saw and conquered quite literally with her inclusive foundations, we look at the darkest shades of other high street foundations

Many prayers were answered when Fenty Beauty’s inclusive selection of foundation shades hit our shelves. We take a look at other brands of foundation and how they match up to one of the most talked about beauty ranges this year

Clinique

Name: Clinique Matte Free Foundation Shade: Sienna

Verdict? This is quite light considering it is their darkest shade…

 

Becca Cosmetics

Name: Becca Cosmetics Foundation  Shade: Cacao

Verdict? Very promising and the name fits as it’s almost as dark as real cacao.

Fashion Fair

Name: Fashion Fair Foundation Stick  Shade: Teak

Verdict? YAAAS, Fashion Fair….like we would have EVER doubt you *drools*

 

NARS

Name: Nars Weightless Foundation  Shade: Khartoum
