your best face forward




i can't say enough about bare escentuals, literally. whenever the subject comes up, i always say, "i can't say enough about bare esentuals" and then talk about how much i love their products. it's like my mission to convince everyone i know to use their products (slowly but surely, i am getting there). i've been using the foundation for about five years and i will never use anything else. i dont even try other foundations--and that tells you how much i love this because i am always trying something new. i can't imagine anything being better than this. it never feels like i am wearing makeup; it feels so light. plus, it delivers amazing coverage and blends flawlessly into the skin so it looks like you're not wearing anything.

i am always on the hunt for a better concealer. i've tried everything--or at least it seems that way. i will use something for a few months because i want to make it work, but the reality is that it's not working. well, just recently i decided to try the foundation as a concealer. honestly, i dont know what took me so long--i think i worried about the powder sitting under my eyes, where there is no moisture, and looking cakey. let's just say, i regret not trying it earlier because i wasted so much time looking like i've been awake all night (and what's the point of that?). my little secret: after i apply this, i use the white shade of the well-lit/back-lit in the corners of my eyes and the area closest to my nose (this duo also doubles as a great eye shadow). i just started this new routine last week and i am really satisfied with the results.
