| I will definitely try both of those soon. I remembered hearing Makeup Forever HD was really good! I need to mark that down somewhere. :P
Exactly. Makeup is so fun. I buy a whole bunch. I work at the offices in Avon, so I tend to just buy my makeup from there since I can get it cheaper. Every once in a while they give us these boxes for $8 that have tons and tons of products in them and I am in heaven. I usually go for their "mark" brand. Sometimes drug store brands like Revlon or Cover Girl, and every once in a while I splurge on something like Bare Escentuals or MAC.
The foundation I'm using now is the MAC Face & Body foundation, but the one I was previously using (in my pic anyways) is MAC Studio Fix Fluid. I loved the coverage but found there wasn't a shade light enough for my pastiness. It always had a kind of orange tint that I had to really blend in... eek.

| Hello lovely! Pretty lady?! What are you talking about... you look freaking gorgeous yourself : ) . I'm still learning with the whole make up thing, but i'm glad you enjoy it. We'll have more coming.
On myself, I've been using Everyday Mineral Foundation in the matte formula for a long while now. My skin is actually pretty bad. I get pigmentations, unevenness and break out easily. I find that this mineral foundation doesn't break me out and provides light to heavy coverage depending on how I use it. For me, I usually spray my brush 5 times with water and twirl the powder in the cap and apply it on one side, same for the other side. With the high water content, It almost turns into liquid foundation. I just buff and stipple it in with a flat top kabuki brush and i find that it gives a nice coverage. Using this dry will even your skin out but with far less coverage, which works for people who have pretty good skin to begin with. I have to admit though, the 'wet' method takes a little bit of practice, but this is pretty much the only foundation I use. The price on these foundation is also really cheap, so i love it.
When I do makeup on other people, I use MakeUp Forever HD Foundation quite a bit. The coverage is on the heaver side but it doesn't feel that way. It also looks amazing on camera. Use either a sponge like the beauty blender, a buffer brush or a foundation brush to achieve different coverage. Giorgio Armani Luminous silk is also a great one. They're both quite pricey, but go to a counter/sephora and ask for a sample to see if you like it first.
Haha, yea i get the whole make up thing. I'm quite a make up junkie too. I don't think i'll ever finish all of them in my life time. But since ChickAdvisor, I haven't bought as much. It's like a makeup heaven here. What brands do you like the best? Which foundation are you using currently?
