PRO: Foundation
Face Atelier Foundation + Primer
My foundation holy grail. My god sent. My angel from above. You get the idea. After seeing what it did on my shoot for Harper’s Bazaar, in one close up shot, this stuff makes skin look like velvet. Like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I can literally see the difference, transforming right in front of my eyes, and this is on model’s skin, who most of the time is pretty dang perfect to begin with. This foundation makes me look soooo good. And the best part, it’s liquid. Not thick, not heavy. Just plain liquid foundation. Apply with a foundation brush and you can see it glide on the surface of the skin and stay there. An almost mask like effect, but with a sheen, a glow and with their beautiful shimmer liquids in gold or pink/pearl, you can customize the skin to look even more reflective. Seriously, if they ever stop making this foundation, I would sob hysterically and quit this business.
PERSONAL:
Well, it depends on what kind of a day I’m looking at. Elke’s overslept, gotta run to the market, run errands, or an early 5 am call time for a shoot? I throw on the bare minerals. Covers my uneven skin tone, makes me look rested, glowing and no worries of breaking out. Especially after a long day and I get home at 9-10 pm and all i want to do is fall into bed. (Yes, I know, sleeping with my makeup on….. sigh.) buff, buff, I’m done.
But if I have a meeting, interview, gotta look great day, then it’s Maybelline’s Mousse Foundation. So far the best covering foundation I’ve seen to cover my uneven skin tones and makes my skin look perfect with no feel. I just blend on with my fingers, or foundation brush, buff a bit, powder and set. I do have to be careful not to wear this every day, or the whiteheads will kick in, but this is for special occasions gotta look good mode. Love it.
