Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE® Anti-Ageing Foundation

Right now Elizabeth Arden is right up there in my must have, need to have product wants. I use City Smart every single day it is that good and I am close to needing a new tube. Then in comes the brand new PREVAGE® Anti-Ageing Foundation with SPF 30 and it wows me from the first use. 

We all know living in the UK we have unpredictable weather, it is part of the Great British charm and a reason I love having changeable seasons, knowing that it could be sunny one minute and then you'll be drenched the next. Add to that living in the big smoke, the constant pollution really does wreak havoc on the skin, so Prevage® has come to the rescue.

On the skin it is incredibly lightweight but gives amazing coverage. My preference when it comes to liquid foundations is that they are not too heavy on the skin and also not to feel as though I have caked it on. Designed to give a long-lasting and dewy look, this foundation creates a naturally luminous complexion with a look that lasts all day and it has SPF30 for extra protection. As the texture is quite lightweight, it blends onto the skin like a dream, infused with Idebenone which is the worlds most powerful antioxident and helps protect skin from oxidative stress and free radical assaults, a leading cause of the visible signs of aging. Other key ingredients include:

• Hydra-Pigments – Encapsulated, moisture-rich pigments meld with the skin creating a shield to help the skin retain moisture while delivering precise long-wear colour instantly blur imperfections on the skin, 
• Antioxidant Complex – A potent blend of highly effective antioxidants including Idebenone, Thiotane, Ferulic Acid, Carnosine and Green Tea Extract that help protect skin from free radical damage 
• Vitamin C and L-Carnosine – Boosts skin’s own natural collagen, increasing the skin’s elasticity, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving the clarity of the skin

Available in 8 different shades, I have shade 2 which is pretty near perfect for my skintone and I apply using either a beauty blender or foundation brush and thanks to a tip from Rebecca Restrepo, Elizabeth Arden's Global Makeup Artist I learnt how to apply PREVAGE® Anti-Aging Foundation properly - “when applying PREVAGE® Anti-Aging Foundation, begin at the center of the face, where the most discoloration occurs, and then blend outward to create an even and balanced complexion”.

If you havent guessed already, then I am a huge fan of this foundation, it is an absolute delight to use, I love how it feels on the skin, the coverage and that it lasts all day without the need to re-apply. PREVAGE® Anti-Ageing Foundation SPF 30 is available in eight shades from 1 September 2016 in department stores nationwide and online, priced at £45 for 30ml.
