I hope you all have had a great day! Today's post is dedicated all to foundations and some of my favorites and some I didn't like so much and since I have used several foundations before finding what works best for me I feel I can help some of you out who may be looking for the "perfect" foundation.
First you need to know what undertones you skin has, some have cool shades like reds and pinks while others may have warm undertones such as yellows and olives.
Next determine what your skin type is; do you have oily skin, dry skin, or combination, which is just a combination of both. Foundations come in different formulas for different kin types, oily skin are going to buy foundations that are oil free because lets face it no one wants there face to look like they put oil on it. Dry skin ladies are going to purchase foundation that say "dry skin on them" these may be a bit more dewy or have ingredients in them that don't necessarily give you a matte face because again you don't want to leave the house with your face looking dry, you want to look refreshed with you makeup looking like YOUR skin.
Here are some foundations that I have tried that I either loved, hated, or didn't care to use it because i just was not "feeling" it.
