C-THRU MY EYES

I’ve always been a huge fan of MAC, but recently I have switched my makeup. I remember when I first started off wearing Covergirl - when they didn’t have the Queen collection and their range of brown foundation was – let’s just say subpar.

I’ve switched up what I use – I’m not saying use what I use, but I’ve found Makeup Forever’s foundation to be great…and now I’m deciding to try something else new…so take a look!



PAST – I used MAC StudioFix in NC45 $26 – It’s oil free, medium coverage, matte finish. All that good stuff. BUT it does havE SPF – AHHHHH! Great for skin, but I don’t like. I didn’t forget that I’ll tell you all why…later.















PRESENT- Right now I use Makeup Forever HD Invisible Covere Foundation $40 – I use a sponge to apply it or a foundation brush I have from MAC. I like the fact it has no SPF and is used for HD TV so the coverage is crazy. It looks really natural and comes in a million shades!!












FUTURE - This is on my “Hit List” - Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturizing Foundation $45 – The reason being that I love my Bobbi Brown concealer so much and Bobbi Brown is the queen of flawless skin. Remember my post about them!?















Now that you’ve seen my past, present & future of foundation, experiment. Sephora is great because they have sponges out and makeup remover & a bunch of cosmetic lines in one place – except they don’t have MAC or Bobbi Brown

If anyone has a great foundation tip or line that they use tell me. Also, drug stores carry some great lines of foundation – they’ve done a lot of research recently to step their game up. I’ll have a drugstore spread in the future.

LINE LOWER RIM OF EYE WITH A WHITE LINER TO BRIGHTEN EYES & MAKE THEM APPEAR LARGER!

1. Use a liner that draws on easily

2. Try MAC Eye Kohl Liner in Fascinating $14.50

3. Try Makeup Forever Kohl Pencil in Matte White 2K $17

4. Try whatever brand you want – Covergirl, Bobbi Brown, Revlon, etc.

4. Use a nude colored liner for a less retro look.

5. Be delicate with the liner…too much white can leave you looking a little scary. Play around with it!

6. Recessionista: Use a white eyeshadow you have, wet a thin eyeliner brush and paint on your makeshift eyeliner!
