Foundation- My Trial and Error

I've always had good skin.. I don't have acne or 

pimples etc. Its generally soft and red lol but it can get really dry from time to time.

Nothing Serious. 

That being said, i never really had a reason to buy foundation. Until 

i found a love of Cosmetics. 

The reason why i wear foundation now is because i love the finish look. 

It makes an ordinary person look like she just walked off a movie set 

or something lol which i love and i just think it makes one look beautiful 

anyways

It took me FOREVER to find the combination of items that work for me.

What works for one person may not work for you!

Even if they are the SAME complexion of you.. the brands and/or products

they use MAY not look the same on you.

Before you purchase any item, in my opinion, do your research first!

The product you choose should be based upon YOUR skin type.

You could be a yellow base tone or red. You can have oily or dry skin.

You can want light or full coverage, liquid or powder etc.

So its unique to the individual.

My Trail and Error!

My first time experimenting with foundation was a total #FAIL 

I recall trying use a "healthy" skin product and it 

turned out awful. It was a drugstore foundation, i believe i 

picked it up at a Walmart. Ummm  it was Maybelline Mineral Powder

Anyways, it was awful.. i hated it.. Blah

Then i tried Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse in Caramel (Dark 2)

Kay, at first i loved it of course. I didnt know that the lighting in one room 

can make you look totally different then what u really look 

to the human eye... or even outside lol

Soo... turns it photographed well however it totally flushed my face and i looked

super pale... and thats not cute...

at all

I then used, Revlon ColorStay for Normal/Dry Skin in 400 Caramel 

After the application, i realized it was wayyyyy lighter (not in color) but 

the weight of it was lighter than the Maybelline and it can onto my skin much easier.

Another thing is when applying it the color was closer to my skin tone then the previous 

products. For a while i used this alone but i realized that

I still had a yellow base but MY face isn't. So

instead of getting a WHOLE new product, i obtained a powder that

was red based. The powder I bought was IMAN Second to None Semi-Loose Powder

in Earth Medium.. and Now my face looks amazing.. Inside and outside of my

bathroo mirror lol Just apply some blush, eyeliner and mascara and your good! 

Thats All... Heres pix!

Later Loves

Hair was Nappy, but u can see the makeup well lol

****NOTE... FOUNDATION OXIDIZES MEANING WHEN YOU FIRST PUT IT ON YOUR FACE IT MAY BE A LIGHTER COLOR BUT WITHIN SECONDS/MINIUTES IT WILL DARKEN TO FIT YOUR SPECIFIC COLOR! 

THE TRICK IS TO FINE A FOUNDATION THAT COMES CLOSE!
