Wooo Hooo! Face Atelier (uh-ti-lee-eh) finally helped me end my search for a really great non-SPF foundation to add to my makeup kit. I was looking for a foundation without SPF because SPF is made up of titanium dioxide that can flash back in flash photos and white out your face (it doesn’t always happen because it can also depend on the camera settings/quality too). I am really excited about coming across Face Atelier because it just has amazing medium to full coverage and feels super light on your face. It’s silicone based, so it lays beautifully on top of your skin. No primer is needed & it sets on its own, so no powder is needed either! Also, if it’s good enough for Madonna and Lady Gaga to use on their face, I’d say it’s good enough for my clients! HA!

Side note…..some other non-SPF foundations I have used (but am not in love with) are: Estee Lauder Fresh Air, MAC Face & Body, & Makeup Forever HD. I really didn’t like Kryolan HD Micro Foundation Cache as a foundation (I will keep this in my kit as a concealer) – it’s an extremely thick coverage and has a very strong smell.
