As far as make-up and i are concerned, I dont claim to be any sort of expert, I know how to do somethings and others I leave to the makeup artist of the world. But what has gotten me COMPLETELY stumped is finding a foundation that works best for me. I have normal to dry skin and the one thing that I absolutely hate is the look and feel of cake face. I thought the idea of wearing foundation was to even out your complexion or give your face a finished look, not scream to the high heavens "I HAVE ON MAKEUP!!" I happen to be a lucky since my skin is pretty even, so when I wear foundation I'm not really looking to cover up anything, I'm simply wearing it to give my face a complete look. I often go looking for my holy grail of foundations, the one that feels great on my skin, looks good on my skin, complements my skin, and doesn't dry me out. It seems however, that those expectations are hard to find, especially since I'm dark skinned.My foundation search has taken me from drug store make up to department store makeup and everything I've tried has never perfectly matched my skin. Its either too yellow or too red. I've tried liquid, powder, foundation sticks, foam, tinted moisturizer and never has it done exactly what I wanted it to do. So I've decided to settle. My settling combination is MAC's Studio Fix Fluid in NW55 and MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Deep Dark. On Summer days, i'll conceal under my eyes and simply use the Mineralize Skinfinish, and on nights out, i'll conceal and then use both. This combination works for me for the moment, but I'm still looking for my holy grail of foundation. Have you had any foundation drama? Whats your favorite foundation? Why?
