Foundation No Nos...

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.

Hot Pink

This is the first time I've worn my Ralph Lauren collared shirt in so long. I thought I would celebrate with a nice eye look. I started to go super dramatic like the looks I see on the net but then I remembered I had to go to work.

This is the one you guys liked. Hot pink is something I usually don't wear clothes wise but I love the makeup color. This is hot pink and black. I've learned that when you mix colors you get weird combinations. The hot pink comes from (what else) my Sugarpill palette. I figure I can get some good wear out of the colors while it's warm. The black is Wet n Wild panther. I love this little black eye-shadow.

Well... If I get some serious readers I will start making videos or something. You can comment and I will respond if you have any questions.
