Born This Way Natural Finish Foundation

#CherieChallenge 🐬Dolphin Glow!!! 🐬 This was my first time trying this Instagram trend and I think I did ok. Definitely need more work but I’m getting there. Tbh, because my skin is oily and kind of textured I usually stray away from super highlighted looks because I’ve noticed they sometimes bring out my texture a little too much. I noticed that that still happened but it wasn’t too bad. Fa$t Facts about Dolphin Trend Goal is a super glowy, lit from within type look. Layering highlighting products onto your skin to really make your skin glow. Also, you can go for a dewy look as well to really get that wet dolphin look. Here’s a list of the products that I used and in order. ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Pomade -Ebony L.A. Girl - HD Pro Concealer - Fawn L.A.

First thing first, the skin is the realest. I have fair skin tone and my skin type is combo. I just got this born this way foundation of Too Faced yesterday, and tested is hype real without touch-up early today.  The texture of this foundation is not very fluid, and according to my personal feelings, this kind of texture works well on coverage most of the time. Though it’s easily blended, my skin looks a bit fake while I add 3rd layer on. The color shade that I got is vanilla and it match with my skin pretty well. All in all, my face looked beautiful both on the mirror and in photographs while I just finished: softy matte, natural and with a nourishing glow. I finished my makeup at 10:55 this morning, then went to work. Except for a 30 mins coffee break during 15:30 and 16:00, I spent most of my time in the office. After I get home, I checked my look and I have to say this foundation do works wonder! You can see from the photos that after 8 hours wearing, my pores appears a little bit, and nose area also become a bit messy. Other than that, my face still looks pretty good. I do not have any break out or looks extremely greasy, I can see my face looks healthy and radiant after this long-wear test. This foundation is $39, and I am truly satisfied with the price and how it works. It has 35 different shades which is perfect for every skin tone. So if you are combo skin and need a long-lasting foundation, this foundation may be a good choice !

If you’re wondering whether we have the same skin tone, here’s 3 foundations I’ve more-or-less matched with: L'ORÉAL - True Match Super-Blendable Foundation Makeupin N2/N3 Too Faced - Born This Way Natural Finish Foundationin Vanilla PHYSICIANS FORMULA - Super BB All-In-1 Beauty Balm Cream SPF 30 in Light Aaaaand through trial & error, I’ve learned the best colors for my skin tone are: Peaches Salmon tones Rosy pinks The last of which is the tone of today’s product! L'ORÉAL - Visible Lift Radiance Cheek Duo in Romantic in Rose. Their website says the product is discontinued, but it looks like Walgreens still carries it. And I hope it does, because I really like this product. 🌺 PRODUCT REVIEW 🌺 This is a very pigmented blush and highlighter duo. Both have sparkles in them~ But the blush’s finish is like satin, while the highlighter is somewhere between metallic/ natural. The product is easy to build up for maximum pigment. In my swatches, I just circled my finger on it for a few seconds and THAT was the result. It lasts pretty much all day, though someone with more oily skin may want to blot off excess sheen. It’s definitely not a matte product. Easy to blend, easy to match for any occasion- I keep it in a bag in my car in case I need to stay the night at a friend’s and need a back up makeup kit for the next day. 🌺 HOW I APPLIED IT 🌺 I put the blush on my: Cheeks Undereyes & in the crease Since peach and pink cancel out blue under eye tones, I applied it there. I was partially inspired by Momoko makeup from Japan, where blush tends to go near the eyes! I brought it up to my eyes and crease, where it was pigmented enough to double as eyeshadow. Which I love to make the look cohesive. Keep in mind that I applied with a heavy hand in these pictures! You can use a lighter hand to look more natural. 🌸 COMPARISON TO COOLER-TONED BLUSH 🌸 Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with using colors outside what anyone recommends for your tone. Actually, sometimes “unnatural” colors are the best for experimental, creative looks. But I put the blush MAKE UP FOR EVER - Artist Face Color Highlight, Sculpt and Blush Powder in S214 to compare because it’s noticeably more cool-toned than the L’Oreal product. Sometimes, I have trouble telling if something is cool or warm toned alone. But when you put them next to each other, you see the difference. I still love this blush for more metallic, goth-ish makeup! But still, it can help you notice the colors that may be trickier to pull off on us like Mauve or Fuschia. What recommendations do you have for finding good blushes?

✨What are the claims? A oil free foundation that masterfully diffuses the line between makeup & skin with coverage so un-detectable, you’ll think you were born this way. It is a medium-full coverage natural finish foundation that is perfect for all skin types. It is hydrating, long wearing, non-comedogenic, AND doesnt cause flashback! ✨Key Ingredients: coconut water; aids in delicately replenishing skins moisture levels. Alpine rose: helps support skins health & resilience. Hyaluronic acid: gives a smoother appearance & draws in moisture up to 1,000 times its weight. ✨Texture/Consistency? It is a medium consistency liquid foundation that is easily spreadable & blendable. ✨My thoughts? This is my third or fourth time purchasing this bottle! I absolutely love this formula! My skin is very dry & pale and this doesn’t look fairy or dry on my skin & matches my skin tone perfectly! It is in the shade Snow, and I use this every day when I know I need a full coverage foundation that isn’t dewy and is more on the matte side. I wouldn’t say necessarily this is matte but more of a smooth, natural finish with no shine in it! It stays put on my face and covers all of my acne scars. It doesn’t crease or get oily on me, and it’s looks bomb with any concealer or powder I’ve used. I’ve truly never had an issue with this and when they launched more shades a year or two ago I finally found my favorite shade & became even more obsessed! Now I never go without this foundation. Defiantly a must when it comes to My glam routine. I would totally recommend! ✨Price Vs Size? It is $39.00 for 1oz and i think that’s pretty standard when it comes to high end foundations! It is worth it because it works, it lasts, and this bottle lasts me several months! I personally like the glass frosted packaging as well. Too Faced - Born This Way Natural Finish Foundation

Here's a rundown of every foundation I have and my rating/opinion on them (the ones I've owned for quite a bit)! Enjoy :) MAYBELLINE - Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation in 112 natural ivory - moves around a lot and isn't good for oily skin, since I found it to need lots of powder Glossier. - Perfecting Skin Tint in shades G10, 11 & 12 - they're tints, so don't expect full coverage - more like light-medium, you can build it up. I give them 4/5 stars bc they need to expand their shade range and bc I found I needed lots of powder to set this one. Rare Beauty - Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation in 140C - I'm so impressed by this one and I love it. So worth it and the shade range is really good. A good long wearing foundation and I didn't have any issues. Too Faced - Born This Way Natural Finish Foundation in seashell & cloud - I mix them together to get my perfect shade, since cloud is too light and seashell is too dark. Def one of the best foundations (if not the best) ever made. COVERGIRL - Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation in 510/porcelain - too light but not a bad foundation, more of a skin tint and the smell kinda bothers me I have yet to try all these in a wear test: DIOR - BACKSTAGE Face & Body Foundationin 1 cool rosy ARMANI beauty - Luminous Silk Foundation in 3.75 HOURGLASS - Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stickin vanilla ESTĒE LAUDER - Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation in 1C0 shell beautyblender - Bounce Liquid Whip Long Wear Foundationin 1.50 cool Charlotte Tilbury - Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundationin 2 cool Next up to try: Fenty pro filt'r soft matte foundation and YSL all hours foundation - I have samples of both and I'm excited to try them
