Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share my go-to foundation combination that gives a flawless, radiant finish every time.
This duo creates a full-coverage yet glowy look that almost mimics glass skin. Having a strong base is key to making any makeup look last, and this combo never fails to deliver that smooth, luminous effect I love.
1. e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter
This product has become a must-have in my makeup routine. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and gives the skin a beautiful, lit-from-within glow. I love that it adds a soft sheen without feeling greasy or heavy. It’s also super affordable at around $14 and can be found easily at Target. Whether used alone for a natural glow or mixed with foundation for extra radiance, it instantly makes the skin look fresh and healthy.
2. Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation
To balance the glow from the e.l.f. filter, I mix in this high-end favorite. It provides amazing full coverage while still looking natural and smooth on the skin. The texture blends effortlessly and doesn’t settle into fine lines or feel cakey, even after hours of wear. At about $57, it’s definitely an investment, but the long-lasting, flawless finish makes it completely worth it.
When these two products are combined, they create the perfect base—radiant yet long-wearing, full coverage yet breathable. The glow from the e.l.f. Halo Filter paired with the durability of the Lancôme foundation gives that dreamy, glass-skin effect. If you’re looking for a foundation combo that makes your skin look smooth, dewy, and camera-ready, this is the ultimate pairing to try!
