Went to Sephora during the weekend to exchange some stuff that I wasn’t happy with.
First, sadly, it was my Illamasqua blush in Hussy that I bought back in January. It was a very pretty color but it just didn’t work with my skin complexion. I tried different color combos but I just couldn’t make it look good. booo
I ended up getting some Sephora mattifying foundation powder to play around with, since it was on sale at $5 so I bought two different colors, light and dark to use for a little of contour. Let me say that they are very drying, I tend to have oily skin but if you skin is not exfoliated well you can see the dry skin when you apply this.
Oh and don’t use it below your eyes, makes the eye skin area look super dry and wrinkly… not good.
Now the NARS sheer matte foundation is REALLY good. I tried it that same day and it hold up really well. My face didn’t get greasy at all, but again it’ll be a good idea to exfoliate well and maybe use a tiny bit of moisturizer before applying this foundation.
The only thing I did notice about this one, is that it is really hard to apply. It’s hard to get out of the bottle and then it just doesn’t spread well so you really have to work it. It’s also kinda sheer so you have to build up the coverage with 2 or 3 layers in some areas.
I guess it’s a good foundation for summer so that’s why I’m keeping it. I’ll still have my Make Up For Ever HD foundation for other times when I want a more dewy finish on my skin.
And to finish off a nice Saturday I went to eat sushi with my better half… This is just a bonus pic to entertain you lol. nom nom nom
Hope everyone had a fun Easter week!
