“One of my fave foundations and so affordable! My skin looks flawless when I use it.” – Charleen Murphy, creator and co-host of the podcast Hold My Drink

Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation, €56.50
“There are so many foundations out there but at the moment because it’s practically winter, I need that extra hydration, so if you are looking for a luxury high-end foundation then Dior Forever Skin Glow is my favourite.
