If you've been reading my posts recently, you know I'm a makeup junkie.
I love it... and I'm a tad obsessed.
For the past month or so, I've been wearing pretty much the same thing everyday, though. I've been trying new products and I've found my "Go-To" look.
I've been trying new foundations for the past few weeks. I've been doing some research on different brands and types (since I ran out of my Merle Norman Aqua Balance and Long-Lasting). So, I've been trying to find something comparable in coverage, but cheaper in price.
After reading about Revlon's Colorstay, I decided to try it. It's been getting a lot of hype from beauty gurus that I follow. I also bought Maybelline's Superstay. They both are good. However, they are a tad heavier in consistency and coverage than I was hoping for. My skin is pretty clear, and I don't really like a heavy foundation on a daily basis.
So, after seeing someone compare Maybelline's Mineral Power - Natural Perfecting Foundation - to MAC's Face and Body foundation, I had to try it.
And I LOVE IT!
It's very light-weight... almost like a tinted moisturizer. But it's also build-able in case you need more coverage. It took me a few tries to get the shade right - the first one I bought came out a little too orange - but I finally found the perfect shade! I DO wish it were larger, since it's pretty thin, and I can imagine I'll go through it pretty quickly. But that's my only complaint.
Dusted with my new favorite powder, Revlon PhotoReady, it's a great combination.
And lastly, I found an eyeshadow quad by Revlon months ago called Colorstay Sandstorm.
I. LOVE. IT.
I love shimmery shadows, and this is definitely that. But, it's not overboard. It's light, but enough color to make your eyes pop.
It's a great everyday look for me!
I found your blog when I finally wandered over to mine! Very cute. I never wear base but I was forced to buy foundation for Falan's wedding two ro three years ago and I still have the SAME base (as you have) and I do use that powder! it's great. Have you tried the photo finish foundation? I'm maybe going to venture out and try it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! No, I sure haven't tried that one... but I've heard a lot about it. I was going to buy it recently, but read a lot of reviews saying that it was pretty "shimmery". So I just never could talk myself into it. I've been trying a lot lately, though, and have found several that I like!
