Good afternoon!
When I give makeup tips specifically, I like to give you two
options; the affordable and the expensive. It is very important to me that
every single one of my viewers can relate and have access to the products that
I post and review on my blog. I personally have a more expensive taste in
makeup (usually with good reasoning) but I also enjoy the cheaper products that
are out there and love to experiment my looks with all kinds of different brand
names. Also, all reviews that are made here are strictly mine and mine only. I
will not shy away from giving a bad review either.
A topic/question that girls just find themselves talking or
asking about way to often is… (Drumroll)… What foundation do you use?
This is such a highly talked about makeup product that women
just can’t get enough of! I only recently started wearing foundation, which
covers up blemishes and evens out your skin tone. To be honest, it took a lot
of patience, testers, and money to finally get it right. What a process! Hopefully
for you newbies, this will help you get past what I went through and get you
straight to the good stuff!
I have two recommendations for foundations. One is a very
affordable, easy to apply foundation that can be bought at any Pharmacy or drug
store and the other is a high-end, expensive yet impressive foundation.
Rimmel: Wake Me Up Foundation
This is my first foundation that I have ever purchased! I
have tried dozens of other foundations since then and yet I still carry this
around in my makeup bag. It has a moisturizing texture and is very light on
your skin. It doesn’t have that thickness that most foundations possess. It’s
more of a light foundation meaning it doesn’t give you as much coverage as most
other foundations. If you’re going for a more natural look then this is a
product that you should try. I have very clear skin with blemishes sometimes
appearing around my nose/cheek area. I don’t like to put makeup where there
doesn’t need to be any so on those days when I’m having a good “skin day”, I
will apply this foundation and go on with my day. Because it’s so light
however, it doesn’t last all day. I would give it maybe four to five hours of
coverage at most. But, I also don’t apply any kind of setting powder
afterwards so that may make a huge difference for you! Unfortunately, the
packaging is glass, which is no bueno for someone like me who travels a lot
with their makeup. I have cracked a few of these bottles already and have had
to go buy new ones. So if you’re as clumsy as I am, fill it into a plastic
bottle once you get it!
Welcome to my every day foundation (for now)! Like I mentioned
before, I don’t use any setting powder for my foundation – I like to use as
minimal of makeup as possible. Instead of powder, I put on bronzer to contour
my cheekbones and I find that helps with making my foundation last a bit
longer. I wouldn’t say this lasts a full 24 hours but it definitely lasts up to
half a day (12 hours). This foundation is so smooth and has amazing coverage.
What I mostly love about this foundation is knowing how much work it took for
this company to perfect it. It took the Lancôme company up to eight years of
research before unveiling this product. If there’s one thing I love, it’s hard
work and dedication. I feel comfortable and natural in this foundation
therefore it was worth every penny!
I apply all of my foundations with a Chanel Foundation
Brush. This is the easiest technique for me and I know for many other women as
well. The Rimmel foundation can also be easily applied with your fingers (make
sure you wash them first!).
Until next time dolls,
