The Foundation of my Dreams!
I have used BM original foundation throughout my twenties and only BM foundation. When I hit thirty my skin changed, became dry, more fine lines showing all that great stuff. I then began experimenting with other brands because I felt I needed more hydration and coverage. Mac was ok, M.U.F.E was better, and in the summer I would wear a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. I hate looking like I have foundation on as I am not a heavy handed makeup wearer. Bare Minerals launched this Ready foundation just in time adressing all my specific needs. It doesn't look like you're wearing a thing! It's hydrating & gives you a very natural finish, it's not as glowy as the origional I wish it was but it is not a matte finish either, it's somewhere in the middle. This is also full coverage, I barely need concealer and I love that. If you do choose to give this a go make sure you are following the new instructions with this foundation, first of all go to a boutique and get matched as this foundation runs a bit lighter that the original, use the proper angled brush made specifically for this foundation, and use long strokes when applying instead of the old buffing technique. Also make sure you are priming your face with BM prime time I noticed other primers don't work that well with BM's foundations as well as prime time does. I highly recomend trying this out if you don't like the look of cakey makeup face, if you suffer from dry skin, have some discoloriing and just want that naturaly beautiful look. I am deep in love with this foundation and will probably use it as long as I can as an everyday foundation.
Contouring at it's most decadent.... Chiseled in Chocolate!
We love makeup... We love chocolate... Now put the two together and you get a Too Faced genius invention! Contouring has become my favorite step to applying makeup, yes of course for the color tone and shade of this specific bronzer (I love how it's not too reddish and is very complimentary for my olive/tan skin) but even more so for the real cocoa powder in this stuff! You can actually taste it as the particles leave your brush and find their way into the air hitting your lips... Yum! It smells divine and tastes how it smells. I also appreciate how this doesn't have mega sheen, which is not a good quality in a contouring product. There is just a hint of sparkle peeking throughout the pan here and there. Just enough but barely noticable when applied to the face. I don't think I will ever stop using this product... I will forever remain chiseled chocolate :) Do try ladies you won't be sorry you did.
