REVIEW
The Celebré PRO-HD Makeup Foundation by Mehron describes itself as 'an oil-free and fragrance-free cream makeup that delivers satin-smooth, buildable coverage that is non-greasy and great for all skin types'. I came across this foundation whilst watching a Youtube Video from the makeup guru Wayne Goss, who raves about this product. It was most recently used in a tutorial posted to the Kylie Jenner website by makeup artist Hrush Achemyan, and Kylie's skin looked incredibly airbrushed.

I ordered the foundation from Amazon, as there are a lot of skin charts available in order for you to work out your shade. I estimated I was a 'Medium 1', as I googled what colour foundation I would be in the Mehron if I used MAC NC20, and this is what most people suggested. However Amazon sent me the wrong shade (#annoying), which was the Medium Dark 1. I decided as I had already swatched the foundation I would also order a very light colour in the hope that I could mix them together to create my perfect shade (or contour with the incorrect colour if all else fails). The foundation was pretty reasonable, similar to 'drugstore' prices. The first one I ordered was £6, and the second £11. I am assuming the change in price is due to the increase in demand because of the Kylie Jenner tutorial!

Skin without any foundation

Light 4 ended up being a pretty perfect match for my skin tone, but I like to go a bit warmer most of the time especially if I have fake tanned, so the addition of the darker colour worked out well. I have combination skin (some parts are very dry and some oily), which is generally clear with the occasional blemish. I used E45 Cream and Nip+Fab Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Serum to moisturise, and as a base for my makeup. I then used my finger to apply the foundation to my face, mostly Light 4 with a few dabs of the darker shade Medium Dark 1. I blended it all out with a beauty blender, adding extra dabs until i was happy with the coverage. Once I had achieved the look I wanted, I applied the rest of my makeup. At first, I was not crazy over the way the foundation looked after I had just applied it. However, by the time I had finished the rest of my makeup I had changed my mind. The foundation itself was very blendable, providing that airbrushed look to your skin.The texture is very creamy, so did not cling to the dry patches of my face. I would say the foundation is generally a medium coverage, but is very build-able, so you can really choose exactly how much coverage you want. The finish of the makeup is neither completely matte or completely dewy, something that I like in a foundation, as people with combination skin can often look too oily with a very dewy foundation whilst completely matte foundations often accentuate dry patches. Overall, this foundation is also long wearing - it lasted all day. The results were impressive considering the price of the product, and I was happy with the look achieved. However, I would recommend bringing some powder out with you because it does go a bit shiny.
