Serum Foundation: Why You Should Try It

Two of our favorite products have combined, and we couldn’t be happier. Foundation meet serum, and serum meet foundation, making the perfect combination of Serum Foundations. Perfect…

As much as we love BB, CC Creams, and tinted moisturizers, we still feel the need to apply our trusty facial serums underneath to give our skin that health boost. Applying a daily serum gives our complexion that radiant glow, along with the benefits of deep hydration and a smoothing texture.

Most serums are packed with antioxidants and anti-aging properties too, so we generally get a whole load of benefits in just one application.

Serum’s also come with their own aims too, where you can shop for a dedicated serum for blemish clearing, pigment lightening or exfoliating. The below are some of our favorite one’s we’ve been trialing ourselves at the SkinStore HQ over the past month…

And then there is foundation. Who knows where we would be without it. It’s the holy grail when it comes to hiding those flaws, covering up those blemishes and brightening up our complexion. So combine the two together, and it really is a product made in heaven.

So which beautiful bottle of this magic potion do we recommend the most? See below for our favorite four and all the reasons why…

  2. Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Serum

    Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Serum

    So although this is called a ‘No Foundation’, it’s purely because it delivers that ‘no make-up make-up look’. Giving a fresh, matte finish, the liquid instantly softens imperfections and minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and pores with neuropeptides, without settling into fine lines. It’s loved for its luxurious fluid texture which feels softer than suede to touch, with a breathable second skin effect.

    Magically, it comes in one universal shade or you can customize to match your skin tone with No Bronzer Bronzer. Plus, this bottle looks super elegant on your dressing table!

    It’s glowing multi-reflective pigments play with light to optically smooth skin and instantly reduce the appearance of blemishes, pores, fine lines and wrinkles. A firm recommendation!
