My Make-up Bag by emilycourtright1
For years I only used Bare Minerals foundation, warmth, and whatever eyeliner and mascara I picked up at the drug store. I found that after awhile I wasn’t getting the coverage I needed (wanted) so I went scurried on over to Sephora and talked to the sales lady who helped me decide what I wanted and was good for me. I had heard that the Make Up Forever HD foundation gave really nice coverage so I opted for that. Unfortunately, they didn’t have in my shade (#115, for us pale folk). She gave me a sample of some of the foundation in my shade (from the tester) which actually lasted about six uses. Instead, I bought the Smashbox “Complexion Perfection Kit” which included their HD foundation, a travel photo finish primer, HD Concealer, and Halo face powder. After trying out both the Smashbox and Make Up Forever foundations, I liked the coverage the Make Up Forever gave me so after I ran out of the Smashbox (2 months!) I ran back to Sephora to buy the Make Up Forever. Luckily, they had it in my shade this time and I’ve been sooo happy with the results.

Ohh red lipstick! I love the look of red lipstick but I have a small fear of wearing it :X Haha I feel like it just wouldn’t look great on me – I guess I just need to find my perfect shade!
It depends on the skin tone ! Maybe this video will help you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd_Qgcue3lU
Ohh thank you! I will definitely make a note to watch that. Maybe I’ll do a post on my journey to find the perfect red lipstick 😀
That would be lovely! Looking forward to it 🙂
oh! And a funny fact! the best shade of red lipstick I wore was a gift from an ex !:D Maybe you should hear a man’s opinion on it too 😀
