Fenty Pro Filt’r Full-Coverage Foundation Vs Sleek And NYX – Review

In Spenny vs Penny we compare the products we love, with those following in their (sometimes pricey) footsteps. Are they worth the cash? Here, we try to find the best full-coverage foundation, seeing how they compare to Fenty Pro Filt’r. 

Full-coverage foundation is a daunting concept, isn’t it? With the promised benefit of covering pretty much anything you wish to cover, as well as producing potentially glowing, valiant club photos; if it’s done incorrectly, you might be left with a cakey situation, or a look that only lasts a couple of hours, or a spotty t-zone, or, my personal nightmare: an obvious, orangey case of a mismatched shade.

My medium/dark skin (the description shifts depending on how inclusive the brand is to people of colour) changes from summer to winter, and has a yellow undertone that a lot of brands just don’t seem to cater to, so I’ve mostly steered clear.

But when looking for full-coverage, is dishing out the big bucks a sacrifice makeup-wearers like me will just have to make? I pitted the top-of-the range against a couple of high-street alternatives to find out.
