Smashbox’s new Liquid Halo foundation gives the skin a heavenly glow.

One of the hardest makeup items to switch is your foundation because it's such a personal cosmetic, and once you've found that perfect texture and colour, you never want to switch. But as it is the new school year, it is always good to have a fresh start, especially because the new foundation launches this season have been absolutely amazing; it is all about the extremely lightweight texture.

Smashbox has once again revolutionized the foundation by introducing Liquid Halo. If you have ever used the Halo mineral powder, you will understand how exciting this new launch is. This new liquid foundation is the lightest (texture) foundation I have felt in such a long time. It has a beautiful, radiant finish that allows for the natural beauty of the skin to shine through. That being said, it has sheer coverage but is very buildable, especially if you layer the Halo powder on top.

Lancôme has also created an innovative foundation that combines the power of their Visionnaire serum and a lightweight foundation with a cream corrector that is attached to the lid of the product. This foundation also has a very sheer, radiant finish but since it has the innovation of the Visionnaire added to it, it instantly helps improve the look of your skin texture (pores, fine lines and more). Even though the foundation (Teint Visionnaire) has a sheer coverage, you can easily blend the corrector on top of it which will help give a fuller coverage for those nights out. Another tip that is an extra bonus with this product is that you can remove the lid and take it with you for touchups throughout the day because it basically acts as a mini compact (corrector and a mirror).

On the contrary to the other newly released foundations, Clarins has launched their Extra- Comfort foundation that is perfect for those with a drier skin type (especially as winter quickly approaches). It not only has argan oil that nourishes and moisturizes the skin, but has an SPF of 15 as well! Even though this foundation has a heavier texture then the other two mentioned, it doesn't crease or “cake” up in expression lines, it actually does the opposite. With Clarins' exclusive Global Age- Defying Complex, it helps plump and smooth the skin.

Even though foundation is one of the hardest cosmetics to change from your daily routine, these exciting, innovative launches should make the switch much easier — you never know if there is something better out there for you unless you try new things.
