The product I reached for most last week is the Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation. I love this foundation because it gives me a natural finish that lasts through my long work days. Long lasting foundations are usually matte, so I like that this one lasts and gives me a more natural look. This foundation has a medium coverage, but you can layer it and build it to a slightly more full coverage. It layers beautifully and will not look cakey.

I prefer to apply this foundation with a brush. Since it is already a medium coverage foundation, I feel like a damp sponge sheers it out too much. The brush that I have been reaching for most to apply it is the Target Up & Up Complexion Brush. It is a very soft brush that is still very dense. It maintains the amount of coverage I want but still blends the foundation in seamlessly.

 I will usually pump out a little less than two pumps of foundation on the back of my hand, use my finger to dot it all over my face, and then use the complexion brush to press/blend it into my skin.

I love the packaging of this foundation. First, it has a pump which makes it very easy to control the amount of product you want. Second, it comes it a sleek plastic plastic bottle which makes it great for travel.

I think this foundation works best for normal to dry skin. Oily people could still wear it, they would just need to use a mattifying primer or blot through the day. This foundation comes in in 40 different shades, so if you have a hard time finding a foundation in your color, this is definitely a line you should check out.
