The freshly launched NARS All Day Luminous Weightless foundation has come to be known at the "one drop wonder."

One of the hardest cosmetics to switch from your beauty routine is your foundation. Once you find that perfect shade, texture and coverage, it’s difficult to let that foundation go and find a new one.

However, as you all know companies discontinue or reformulate products, and sometimes it’s just a good change for your skin to try something new. With 2015 comes a whole bunch of new complexion cosmetics that are definitely worth trying.

NARS cosmetics recently launched a brand new foundation called All Day Luminous Weightless foundation, which is one of the company’s biggest launches ever. It is a full but natural coverage foundation that has a 16-hour wear. The foundation is so pigmented it has come to be known as the “one drop wonder” as you literally only need one pump of the foundation to cover your entire face. And to NARS lovers’ excitement, this foundation comes with a pump and is oil free.

With over 20 shades, the All Day Luminous Weightless foundation is perfect for anyone, especially those with an oilier skin type. Even though the foundation is pigmented, it is essentially weightless. Another great benefit to this foundation is that it incorporates green and gold pigments to counteract redness as well as bring that luminosity to the skin.

Clinique has also recently launched a new foundation called Beyond Perfecting, which incorporates a foundation and concealer all in one bottle. This super pigmented product is moisturizing, lightweight and gives the skin a flawless finish. Since it has a concealer built into it, you can pretty much skip the entire concealing and correcting step in your beauty routine as this foundation does it all.

An exciting launch that has just happened in the complexion category is the Biotherm Total Recharge CC Cream for men. Yes, men.

It is not necessarily a foundation but a daily moisturizer that contains micro pigment technology. Its lightweight gel texture not only hydrates the skin but also gives the skin a healthy glow. It is sheer in colour so any skin tone can use, and men don’t have to use any proper technique to apply it properly. For the men who feel that their skin is looking dull, this product is definitely made for you.

Although it can be tough to switch out your regular foundation for a new one, change is always a good thing. Cosmetic companies are constantly researching and innovating so that products suit your needs even better.
