Bare Escentuals employ/utilized to be be my everyday foundation. I serene love it and would continue to employ/utilize it if I didn’t try to receive so many pictures of my face except the original formula doesn’t photograph particularly well (it has bismuth which shows whiter in photos). The new matte formula doesn’t have bismuth nonetheless I find the coverage not like good. This prompted me to poke round on the makeupalley boards and I picked up the best of Make Up Forever during the Sephora F&F sale as the set cost about as much as the powder alone. An awesome set definitely.

Then I went into my local Sepohra and got color matched for an HD foundation. I found the primarily sales colleague there that I absolutely loved – she gave me a sample of the foundation and recommended I employ a brush for it (no fingers no sponge – that’s how it can end up looking cacrucial). I said I had been thinking of picking up the Sephora professional brush #55 (also during the sale) and she said that if I had been thinking of that I should truly just get the Make Up Forever HD Kabuki brush since unlike #55 you can apply foundation (it has artificial bristles) and powder with it (can’t do powder with the #55 according to her). I waited until I used the sample for a week (and fell in love with it) then picked up the foundation and brush in the sale.

I didn’t realize she meant you can use it for the powder right behind the foundation nevertheless you totally can – the brush never feels wet. I use a Sonia Kashuk foundation brush for a rough request (I used it for my week trial run with more care) then I buff my face with the kabuki. Some Lift concealer under the eyes then a quick dusting of HD powder with the kabuki and my skin looks amazing. And after I sent a picture to a friend of me with a 25-year ancient co-worker she commented that I looked younger than him and what was I using? (I’m 30). Talk about a seal of approval!

All of my FOTDs have this as my base. I’ve got a bare-faced picture in this post if you intend to/tend to to compare.
