The Search For The Perfect Foundation Shade.....

So today I was on the search for the perfect foundation.. We all know that finding the perfect shade of foundation is like going on a hunt for the lost city of atlantis sometimes... Well anyhoo... I decide to play a little Find Waldo with foundation colors... I used Avon Extra Lasting Foundation in Sable, Soft Honey and Caramel...

Sable



Soft Honey



Caramel

On My Forehead I am wearing Sable, the left side Soft Honey, the right side Caramel

So below I blended together all three colors I tried on to add a flawless look to my face.

My Stamping Attempt :( Fail

So I attempted another time to do learn how to stamp... It didn't turn out as well as  I would have liked but I am learning and it should get better with practice..

I used the colors from the wonder woman collection that came out from Mac the red is Obey Me, the blue is Spirit Of Truth, I then used the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Silver... I free-handed it but because I didn't get the stars right I wiped it all off, but I'm going to try this one again for the fourth...

Thoughts:

Although I don't care for the price it is $18.00 plus tax per tube.. I am going to recommend this as a must have product... I had my makeup on for over 15 hours and at the end of the day it looked as fresh as when I put it on in the morning... I like the packaging as it is a tube so nothing can get wasted...


Grade:

A+
