Perfect Foundation Tag



Hello Everyone!

Yesterday, I was browsing through different beauty blogs when I came by this really cool tag on The Make Up Chair. I thought it looks so fun so I figured I would do it myself! I also tag all of you to do it as well! I feel like there are so many eye shadow and lipstick tags out there but not as many about foundation so I'm really glad I came by this one. I own six foundations and one bb cream. Here we go! 

 Best Packaging
L"real Magic Nude Liquid Powder in 320 Beige
This one was hard for me but I really like the purple on this packaging and how the glass fogs up as you go up the packaging

Best Color Pay Off:
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation in Light Medium Sand

 Most Buildable
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation in Light Medium Sand
It is really easy to build this foundation up from a medium coverage to a basically full coverage with only about two layers and it looks amazing.

Best for Traveling:
Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation in "Warm me up" Toasted Beige
I love this for traveling because the tube in plastic so I don't have to worry about it breaking.  I am always worried that my glass ones will break such as my Rimmel or Maybelline ones!

 Biggest Regret:
Bare Mineral Original in Medium Biege 
I just don't like powder foundation. I don't feel like they last very long plus Bare Mineral is not cheap so I regret getting it.

 Best Color Names:
Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation in "Warm me up" Toasted Biege
All their color names are just so fun! My favorite is probably "I'm so money" Honey and " Cheers to me" Champagne

Least Used:
Bare Mineral Original in Medium Biege
This was also my biggest regret. It just sits in the back of my make up drawer. I only ever use it to set my foundation but I have so many other powders I prefer like the Rimmer Stay Matte Press Powder
 
 Most Used:
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 202 Nude
This is a great light weight everyday foundation. it goes on easy, looks really nice and lasts all day!


I tag all of you!
 Lots of Love,

Review: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation





Hello Everyone! 

It is impossible for me to go into Sephora and come out empty handed. About two weeks ago, I stepped into Sephora and came out with the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation. I needed a new winter foundation and I was looking for one with more coverage when I came by this one. It claims to be a full coverage, last 12 hours, be buildable and blendable. I was excited to see if it lives up to the claims. 

I have it in the color light medium sand. This is a perfect match for my skin tone which  made me really happy! It comes in 16 different colors. When it comes out of the tube it looks really thick however, it feels really light on the face and is really easy to work with. I apply a little on the back of my hand and then use my Real Techniques Expect Face Brush to apply and blend it on my face. It really is very blendable and nice to work with. I wouldn't say this is a full coverage foundation. It is more of a medium coverage. It covers mostly everything but underneath my eyes, around my nose and my chin, I still use a concealer. It is buildable though and you can definitely get it to a full medium coverage. Below is one picture of me without the foundation and the one next to it is one with just the foundation on. You can clearly see it is a very even medium coverage foundation.

I love the finish of the foundation. It is matte but not overly matte. It looks really natural. My powder, bronzer and concealer all sit really well on this foundation as well. I haven't worn it for 12 hours straight yet but with a powder, I have gone around 8 hours without needing to retouch. It is honestly a lovely foundation and I highly recommend it to everyone! 

What foundation have you been loving? 

Lots of Love,
