Laying the Foundation.

I think I just might have found my favorite drugstore foundation.

I have been wanting to just splurge on a more expensive brand such as Bobbi Brown or Mac just to be able to get the ladies at the counter find me a good shade. However, on a recent trip to Walgreens, I bought two different types of foundation because their Maybelline products were on a "Buy one get one half off" deal. What do I have to lose, right?

I bought the new Maybelline SuperStay 24HR Makeup. It claims to stay comfortable, give a naturally flawless look all day, and withstand heat, sweat and humidity. My shade is Nude.

Verdict: Love it. I applied it with a flat, slanted foundation brush from E.L.F. I pour a little bit of foundation onto my brush and dab it all over my face. Then, I blend it out. I think it gives a medium coverage and my face looks pretty darn good! Hah! I think I hit the jackpot with the shade this time for drugstore foundation. It doesn't feel too heavy on the face and it appears to even out my skin tone and provide a nice cover without being too masky.

Another foundation I bought from Maybelline was its Dream Matte Mousse Makeup foundation. My shade is Nude (Light).

Verdict: Love it too. It is whipped and light and feels sheer and light on my face. For application, I have been using the E.L.F. foundation brush and dipping the brush in the foundation jar. Then, I dab the product on my cheeks, forehead and nose, and then blend it out evenly. It provides a light to medium coverage. I have been enjoying the product.
