Purchasing foundation.

I love finding name brand products at the dollar tree and .99 cent store. you know that. You just never know what name brand goodies you might find. I personal can use cheaper brands and still make them look good. You don't have to spend 65.00 on foundation. buy the 35.00 one and use a good brush to apply. I even use my finger. that way you can push it into the skin more. Just remember if your going to do that don't drag. pat and press. *wink .To be honest , i do not get foundation from drug stores dollar trees, or 99 cent store. finding a good foundation is really important. IT CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOUR LOOK GIRL! So don't play play... this is real real. lol

 I would really require anyone looking for foundation to go to stores like Sephora or MAC. Sephora has many brands you an sample and a range of different prices from around 20.00 and up. All you have to do is ask an employee that your looking for a foundation, tell them what kind of coverage your looking for, and your price range. I haven't found a single rude unfriendly, or unhelpful employee at Sephora. They are so nice and can really give you great details about each product. plus they can even apply a little on you. but wait they have this little device they use on your skin to find the perfect one. so wait time is no wait time at all. Ever trip i make to Sephora i leave with more samples than items i purchased. lol.

I get samples of liquid lip colors, primers, foundations, ect.... and don't be shy, if your iffy on buying a product. ask them for a sample.  I even had an employee who was so determent not to let me down. she seriously took three colors and mixed them into the shade lip color i was looking for. it's doesn't get any better than that. they go above and beyond.

I use the clinique even better spf 15.

This one in Amber 13

I purchased it 3 months ago and use it on almost every look i do. Plus i still have half a bottle left. a little goes a long way. I use my altair beauty brush to apply the foundation and it comes out smooth and soft, almost natural. I love how light it feel, it a medium coverage, it doesn't look dry or makes me look pale. will cover dark sports. and no harsh smell. i love it. I paid 27.00. which is a good price for a good foundation.  If you happen to visit stephora ask them about the clinique even better foundation. find your right shade they have a wide range of colors. ask for a sample and do a look at home. don't make any quick decision. Foundation is a big part of your makeup. I hope this was helpful. and you find the perfect foundation. and as always stay beautiful, stay creative, stay you.
