Illimasqua's Product description 

Inspired by the cult Asian market Beauty Balm creams, Skin Base Foundation is a brand new, refined formula unlike anything on the UK market. Easily blendable, it effortlessly creates a perfect complexion, and like the entire Illamasqua foundation range, is undetectable in a professional HD environment. Suitable for all skin types, it smoothes, softens and conditions your skin whilst providing natural, buildable coverage.

In my opinion Illimasqua skin base is one of them foundation you just have to try. 

there are 26 shades ranging from White ( 01) to a deep chocolate (18) there is even a shade called AU the chemical symbol for gold, and theses a reason this shade has tiny participial of gold shimmer which looks stunning as a bronzer on light to medium skin tones and a great highlight for beautifully deep skins.

The shade Au is also a great additions to any make up artist kit as it can be used in loads of different ways.

I have even used it as an eye shadow base.

the packaging of this product can be a little troublesome at first as the tube isn't that easy to squeeze but this stops you from using to much product. You only need the smallest amount and it covers everything.

the tip of the packaging is rather unique as it has a very small opening to allow the smallest amount of product out.

The foundation its self is amazing you can build full coverage but still allow the skin to look natural.

you can even build light to medium coverage allowing the skin to glow though.

i have dry skin but i've used this on many people with oily and its looked just as perfect on both. you might need to use one of illimasqua primers if you want a matte finish all day but its not a necessity.

skin base is amazing for brides as it photographs beautifully. it doesn't contain any SPF's so that you don't end up with a bright white face under flash photography.

It even works in HD which considering most high end phones and cameras have HD capability its perfect for everyone.

The only down side i have found to this product it the application.

applying with your fingers isn't the best way to a great finish but i love to use the Real Techniques expert face brush

*

The Real Techniques Expert face brush with its Ultra-plush taklon bristles allows you to buff and blend the product into the skin, if you need a little more coverage in an area try dabbing the brush over the area instead of swiping.

Illimasqua skin base retails for £27

You get 30ml of product and with the amount you actully need to use its going to last you a long time 

I truly love this product even when i try new foundations skin base always finds its way back into my make up bag.
