Foundation is one of my favorite products has to be foundation and I have to admit that the last few months have been packed with some good ones! This one right here is my most recent fave I have to say. Let me introduce you to Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation. Check it out…….
The color I wear is 340 Medium Cool and it is a perfect match. What I noticed is that the foundation runs the opposite of what it says. For example, this foundation says that it is cool but it really has warm undertones. The way they classify this foundation is similar to MAC. If you can go into your local Sephora to get matched I would advise that you do so.
This is a great hydrating foundation and perfect for the cooler months so if you have oily or combination/oily skin like me you will be just fine. In the summer you’ll probably have to adjust your primer a bit to continue to wear this one. Overall, this foundation is beautiful and wears well throughout the day. I can easily get eight hours with this one!
I know you want to pick this up so head on over to Sephora to pick this up!

It’s summer and let’s face it, we all want that bronzed effortless, easy glow. An easy way to achieve the bronzed look and work the look several ways is through your makeup, specifically your eye makeup. Take a look at the ‘of the moment’ eye shadow palette you may want to add to your collection this summer!
Yessss! Here she is! The new Natasha Denona Bronze Palette. I think this palette is stunning and is perfect for the beginner to the advanced artist. It has not only bronze shades but peach tones and a few neutrals so all the bases are covered.
This palette is smaller in comparison to her other palettes (midi-palette) but so is the price. Think $65 vs $129. If you’ve never tried this brand before I think this is a good start. $65.00. Sephora.com
Ever wonder how you can stop your makeup from turning into a shiny mess one, two or three hours after you’ve applied it? Imagine your makeup staying put at least 8 hours with almost NO touch ups (I’m talking to you oily girls). Interested? Read on…….
If you have combination or oily skin, run, don’t walk to pick up this setting spray. Once you’ve applied your makeup, set it with this setting spray and you’re good to go. One tip, make sure you hold the can 6-8 inches away from your face to avoid droplets of spray from falling on your face and be sure to shake the can before using. Remember, read the directions first please (smile).

This is a weekly series where each Friday I will share with you one product that I am simply loving and cannot get enough of so let’s get this party started…..
NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. Color: Tahoe. $49. www.ulta.com
Why didn’t you guys tell me about this??? Ok, so I may be a little late on this one but this is my new jammmmm! Granted it is a smidge on the pricey side but I feel that it is worth every penny! This foundation is the perfect color and undertone (important) and it lasts all day! I would say the finish is medium to full. Well done Nars!
So I used to think that wearing primer under my foundation did not make a difference in the way my foundation looked or how long it lasted on my face, that is until I started wearing primer. It TRULY makes a big difference, however, you must choose the correct formulation in accordance to your skin type to get the best possible results and always……… read the directions. Primers can help fill in pores, smooth the skin, help extend the life of your makeup and a host of other benefits. Here are a few of my besties!
