Perfect Foundation

Yes! The day has arrived! The day I've been waiting for all my life!!! Well, not really. But I'm really excited! I found, in my opinion, my perfect foundation. Every girl who uses make-up wants to have that one foundation that works best for that person. And I have found mine! So what is it, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya! Loreal True Match! In the shade N7 Classic tan. I've been searching Youtube like crazy looking at reviews and finally decided to give this a shot because I figured with 3 different undertones and over 30 shades to choose from, I had a pretty good chance of finding the right shade for me. And I did!

Because I've been working on the condition of my skin, and I've been seeing results, I noticed I don't need a very full coverage foundation. And I really thought that this foundation was going to be light, but buildable coverage. But I was afraid that the more I built, the cakier and faker it would look. But to my surprise, this foundation looked pretty natural, even with 2 pretty thick layers. Which is what I want. Who wants to look like they smacked a liquid mask on their face? Not me!

So I originally got this foundation in the shade C7 which is the cool undertone, because I thought I was very yellow. Probably because my sister always called me a "yellow baby" since I'm the lightest in the family. But apparently, just cuz I'm light, doesnt mean I'm yellow, because this was not my shade...
Thank goodness for the return policy at Wegmans, I went back and got the Neutral shade N7. And I'm so glad I did, cuz the difference was amazing!
Don't mind that random strand of hair on the side
The only thing that I'm not so thrilled about is that the spf17 in the foundation makes me appear ghostly in pictures. But I promise, it looks better in person. Here are some more pictures!

Just a reminder of what it is that I'm dealing with here :-)
whoa, close up! haha


So, I'm still working on my skin and getting rid of the spots, but until I get my skin in the shape that I want it, I'm happy that I can cover it up with this for now.
