Drugstore Picks: Foundation "Ok ladies now let's get in foundation...." I've never been prouder of these words that just came out of my husband's mouth. A Beyonce-lyric-pun about my favorite makeup product ever created?!? My heart could burst. We have taken a long road through the ins and outs of Drugstore makeup all month long. I fell in love with so many products this year, but none that I looked forward to more than foundation. It is my first makeup LOVE. My first "Ohmygod

While I LOVE my full coverage foundation 95% of the time, some days I want to give it a break. Don’t get it twisted…I’ll always love it and I’ll never forsake it. Many DON'T want the full-coverage look every day, and if that's you, listen up!! I’ll give it to you straight: I have been super skeptical of BB Creams since day one, solely because it seemed to be a product that's been on the market for years, but with a trendy new name. <Ahem…tinted moisturizer. > Seeing every cos

Estee Lauder Double Wear is easily the one foundation that I’ve had the longest love-affair with. We are talking years. It’s sheer, lightweight and fresh but still blends out imperfections like nothing else. I will always have one (or five) bottles in my bathroom, will ALWAYS use it on brides, and will use it for just about any photo-shoot that I’m ever involved in. It looks good on everybody, it looks fresh, and it stays put for 15 hours or more. So, ALL DAY. It’s literally

I can’t tell you HOW many times I’ve shocked people with the tip that I’m about to fill you in on. I’m talking gasps….clutching of the pearls … Ok. This isn’t a horror movie from the 1920’s. But still. This one might shake up your makeup-routine a little. Start your morning routine with your eyes FIRST, clean up underneath with a makeup wipe or makeup remover and then do your skin/complexion/concealer last. For many, this could be old news. (And good for you. Here’s a gold s

While I LOVE my full coverage foundation 95% of the time, I haven't wanted to use it much for the last week. Don’t get it twisted…I’ll always love it and I’ll never forsake it. But when I’m out in the sun all day, it’s hard to want to apply a normal face of makeup. With fresh summer skin in mind, I began to explore my options and am still so surprised by what I fell in love with. I’ll give it to you straight: I have been super skeptical of BB Creams since day one, solely beca

Foundation is personal. Let’s be real: your complexion takes up like 75% of your face and your face is the first thing people see when you greet them. The majority of people don’t greet you and stare at your elbows, (Creeps.) They look right at your face. So finding a foundation to compliment, celebrate and enhance your complexion should definitely be a top-priority. With a billion options and combinations, words like SHEER-COVERAGE, FULL-COVERAGE, GLOW, and LONG-WEAR appear

I lovvvve a good foundation. Like, reeeeeally love it. When I started getting serious about my own makeup, I was SO THANKFUL for a friend to tell me what Dept. store foundation would work best to cover up all of my discoloration and acne spots. I found a full-coverage foundation that was easy to work with that would last for 16 hour days!! Ding ding ding ding ding. I've worn it for YEARS and I will always love it and recommend it to many no matter what else comes along. So wh
