Cheap VS Expensive

Foundations.
MAC Studio fix fluid SPF 15 - £19.50.
LOREAL Paris Infallible makeup lasting perfecting foundation - £10.50 ( ish.)

Foundation is one of the main and essential parts for most people in their makeup routines. In my personal opinion everybody's skin reacts differently to makeup, so where one foundation is amazing and gives such a flawless finish for some, may give the oposite affect to another. This is an important factor when i am comparing these products :)

I have been using both of these products for quite some time, and i still use and buy them both.
The MAC Studio Fix Fluid provides a very medium coverage which can be built upon to a full coverage. It has a very yellow under tone, but overall works well with my skin. It does have an unpleasant scent, which i would say could be affensive, however i can get past this!
The LOREAL Paris infallible foundation has again a medium to full coverage. Its very easily applied and blends into my skin a lot easier than the Studio Fix Fluid. The scent is very light and only a fresh hint. When applying the product, you look flawless, however after letting it settle into the skin and by the time i have finished my other makeup i find that patches can apear, and this worsens the longer you have the product.
I do recomend both products, i tend to use the LOREAL foundation for work, and the MAC Studio fix for nights out, or socialising. You can save a good £10 if you opt for the LOREAL infallible, which lasts for long time, however has mixed finishes.

I will be doing a lot of these cheap vs expensive blog posts as i own a cheap and expensive version of all of my makeup.
What are you experiences of these foundations?? Positive or negative?

  1. I really like the L'oreal foundation, but I can't find my shade;/ It's so frustrating, because the product has a really good quality for reasonable price.
