This week I'm obsessed with... Smashbox Liquid Halo HD Foundation!

Smashbox Liquid Halo HD Foundation - 30ml - $48 - in a wide range of 10 shades that work with all undertones and an oil-free, long-wearing, moisturizing, buildable formula with sheer-to-medium coverage, a natural, luminous finish and sun protection with SPF 15. All thanks to an innovative liquid light technology - 100% gel-covered pigments that mimic photo filters that blur imperfections giving your skin a lit-from-within glow, providing perfect coverage while still letting your natural skin tone come through which keeps from having that mask-like look that some foundations can give you.

I've been a BB and CC convert for awhile now because I was tired of heavy foundations and how fake they look. When I read about Liquid Halo immediately liked the sound of it - I could totally go for something that would give me more coverage without looking it!

What makes it great is you really get everything from a sheer to a medium coverage just by adding layers. One layer is sheer, two is light and three is medium - I go with sheer all over, light on my chin and nose to even out redness and a little extra under my eyes on those mornings when the night before has caught up with me! And because it works with your natural skin tone there is some flex to what shade you can use - I tried both the 1 and 2 shades one each side of my face and couldn't tell one from the other, the colour just melts into the skin so as long as I stay with a light shade the colour is very adaptive.

As an added bonus it comes in a pump bottle which makes it less messy and easy to control the amount used - a new favourite foundation is born!

Available at Sephora, sephora.ca and smashbox.com.
