The best foundation compacts
There’s something very elegant and ‘old skool’ about a foundation compact. Neat, clicky and portable, compacts feel decadent and grown up, but that doesn’t mean that the product within them need be old fashioned. Within modern day compacts you’ll find the latest and greatest foundation formulations and options for every skin tone and type out there. Compacts allow you to cart your favourite cream or powder foundation along with you wherever you go, do your makeup on the go (most have mirrors), eliminate the need for fiddly brushes, minimise the potential for spillage (nothing irks me more than a £40 foundation all over the floor) and do away with heavy, clunky packaging. There’s literally nothing not to love about this lot…
