Figuring out what foundation is right for you is the hardest thing a woman does cosmetically. No one wants to wear makeup and then look like a clown once they leave the house. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen a woman looking like Casper because she has on the wrong shade. My mother use to wear foundation that was too light and look a hot mess so I didn't intend on ever wearing foundation.

When I moved to Texas, baby.... this Texas water is KILLER on the skin. I look like a teenager again with all of the blemishes I have.

I have gone through so much foundation it's amazing. I have shades way too light to way to dark and everything in between. I have a couple of foundations that are right on target. Here is a video that shares some incite on what you should and shouldn't do when looking for foundation.

New foundation

I decided I need foundation. The water in Texas bites. My skin is red and irritated looking. I thought it was just a tan at first. I was reading about redness on the face and the article described my redness perfectly.
I recently visited a CCO and decided to try some Bobbi Brown foundation. I REALLY believe that more expensive makeup does a better job if you find the right shade. I can't find the right MAC shades... either too dark or too light.... But I think I love my Bobbi Brown foundation.
