30 Day Challenge - Day 04: Your Favorite Foundation

 

I never only have one favorite everything, as you can tell by the other posts… LOL!

Anyway… I would add MAC Mineralized Satinfinish to this photo, but I don’t have any right now :[ So, these will do. LOL

I love the ColorStay for its coverage & staying power. I even made a eyeshadow primer from it :D I just don’t like the weight of it. It leaves my face matte & I like that. Dusting a translucent powder over it & you’re good to go!  It just  needs to be lighter in weight.

The weight of the PhotoReady is amazing!! Totally buildable coverage!! It leaves your face look like you have a healthy glow. Now, if ColorStay & PhotoReady had a baby w/what I love from each foundation, it would totally be MAC’s Mineralized SatinFinish!!

I like this Smooth Minerals one from Avon b/c it feels light, yet it has good coverage, as well. Totally buildable, like PhotoReady, but doesn’t give off the little speckles of glitter like PhotoReady. Instead, it makes your face look dewy.

30 Day Challenge - Day 03: Your Favorite Brush

 From left to right in the picture above: 

StudioTools Dual-Finish Brush, mark Concealer Brush, e.l.f. Eyeshadow “C” Brush, 

MAC 224, MAC 217 & Avon Bent Eyeliner Brush.

I have more than ONE favorite brush. LOL!!  

I like my StuidoTools stippling brush better than MAC’s 187 b/c the white fibers are shorter & perfect for stippling. It’s much sturdy than the 187.

I’ve only used one other concealer brush than my mark concealer brush before & it’s the one in the Sonia Kashuk kit. That brush died sometime last year, but good thing my mom is an Avon rep! I got my hands on this awesome concealer brush! It packs on just the right amount of concealer when I dab the brush in my concealer.

The e.l.f “c” brush is PERFECT for using it as a highlighter under your brow bone! It’s super dense, but soft.

My MAC brushes… I just love them for blending. That’s all.. :D

The Avon Bent liner brush is the best liner brush ever. I bought 2 of them for $.99/each. Compared that to Sonia Kashuk’s bent liner brush at $5.99/each!!! It just sucks that Avon discontinued them. Well, that’s from what I hear. I use one for when I apply my false lashes & the other for gel liner.

What are your favorite brushes?
