The foundation of the day, begins with my foundation. Duh.

I've been a religious Bare Minerals user for quite some time now, I think going on 5+ years, and after reading Kardashian Konfidential they revealed the like to 'shock' their skin and hair by switching up the product every so often, being that these women are probably a few of the world's most popular fashionistas for valid reasons my mind was set upon embarking on a new, slightly frightening journey, finding a new foundation. As you can see I'm a firm believer in if it works don't change it, but time was against me as my skin has changed since I was 16, unfortunately...until now I've never had a blemish or dry spot in my life. Which is a different story now, with the of school, work, hormones and Southern California weather I had gotten myself some unwanted visitors on my face...pimples and dry spots. Now, nothing against B.M. but using a loose powder with dry/flaky skin is just asking for people to notice it all the more, so this change was necessary. I began my journey on a website called makeupalley.com, a site a friend from class recommended to me, it's a wonderful site with the option to post wanted make-up to 'swap' with someone else if you have a piece they want and a forum containing all things beauty. I was advised via google.com ( I usually go to google to ask my life's vital questions ) that I needed a liquid foundation, a heavy cross for me to bear as I have always been one who hasn't had to wear much make-up at all, but...the time had come. This, however, did not change my previous opinions on people who use liquid foundation incorrectly, lines separating their fake skin on their face to their completely different colored necks and so on, so I promised myself I would use sparingly whatever my final choice was. ( it'll last longer that way too! ) So I posted my question up on the forum and within ten minutes I had received about seven replies, all recommending Revlon ColorStay or Maybelline FitMe. Revlon ColorStay was the senior of the two considering Maybelline had just released their FitMe line so people didn't have much to say about it, so I went with the one with more reviews, after all, their both around $9 each so if I didn't like one it's not like my wallet would be dented but too much. I Had my lovely boyfriend take me to the local WalMart and purchased the ColorStay for normal/dry skin in Medium Beige. It blended great, I used a mac foundation brush ( I'm not too familiar with the brush numbers yet but will be soon ) and upon leaving for school my boyfriend commented that I look "radiant", WOW, this is one of the best compliments I've received, who doesn't want to be told they look fresh and glowing, it started off my evening lovely as I'm sure you can imagine. So, there I was, all radiant and blemish free on my way to school. This was the real test because my instructor is one who doesn't know boundaries very well, she always is sure to mention to me how pale or tired I look, but she never said anything. Fortunately, Revlon passed all tests and so, there is it, my NEW ol'reliable...Revlon ColorStay in Medium Beige.
BUT...the skeptic in me won't let me finish this post without mentioning it's only been one day of wearing this, so we'll see what time brings.
