Four Favorite Foundations

6:15 AM



Hey Loves,


I have to be honest, I'm coming into this makeup game super late. I never use to wear makeup, and if I did it was nothing more than lame eyeshadow and a REALLY bad eyeliner job. Even in my early years of blogging I NEVER wore makeup. Sometimes when I look back at my old post, I'm like OH GOD!!!! But the more I got into blogging I realized makeup is a must. It's about pulling my whole look together. My collection is growing. So for this post I listed my 4 favorite foundations.
Picking the right foundation for me starts with 3 main points.

1. It's really is all about coverage. That is my 1st question when choosing a good foundation. Having hyper-pigmentation, full coverage is a must. 

2. I look for the the "undertones". I have yellow undertones. (If you've all seen a picture of my mother you know it's true). Some foundations make me look a bit too red, which can be fixed with powders but I rather just get a foundation to match from the get go.

3. I look for finish, I get quite oily throughout the day so I tend to gravitate toward foundations that give me a nice matte finish. Sometimes I'll dabble with a dewy look (mostly in the summer time) but those days are few & far between.

I personally like liquid foundations because powder foundations just don't give me the coverage I desire. I also tend to stay away from cream foundations simply because they tend to feel heavy on my face & fall into my smile lines, even with primer! Le sigh!
My top 4 Foundations 

Covergirl Queen Collection 3 in 1 Flawless Foundation Q825 Golden Honey
This is my go-to all time favorite foundation! I literally swear by this one. Like I can never go wrong with this foundation. It gives me perfect coverage, it dries matte and I don't get shiny throughout the day.



Nars Sheer Matte Foundation Macao
My 1 & ONLY high end foundation. So I only wear it for special events & evenings. Even though the word sheer is in the name, there is nothing sheer about it. I get amazing coverage and it last all day without me having to use powder. It's a bit pricey, but it's totally worth it.





Revlon Color Stay 400 Caramel
This one grew on quickly. I wanted A LOT of Youtube video reviews about this foundation & when I picked it up, I was quite pleased. I literally last ALL day and gives me great coverage The only downside for with this foundation is that I seem to get extra oily with this foundation. But I love it so much, it's nothing a bit of powder won't fix.




Black Opal Foundation Stick Beautiful Bronze & Heavenly Honey
I do mix 2 shades of the Black Opal foundation sticks. When paired together it gives me the perfect shade. This is a cream stick so I don't wear it often, but when I do It perfection.
