Today I am bringing you what I think is the most absolute, flawless foundation and application method. For those of you that have been following me for a while now, you will know that the Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ foundation is kinda my HG (holy grail) foundation since I am very oily, and it is very matte. However, in the summer, I think it is okay to look a little more dewey and natural. I really love the Loreal True Match Lumi, but it can be a little hard to work with a times because it is "luminous". So I set out to find the perfect foundation that I could wear on days I want to look more flawless, than matte. Hopefully that makes sense. Little did I know, the foundation I'd been looking for was right in front of me. While I was in San Francisco last March, I took home a very generous sample of the Dior Forever Flawless foundation. I fell in love. But what I didn't fall in love with was the price tag. Time passed and I forgot about the amazing foundation I had once tried. Upon cleaning a couple weeks back, I found the sample container, used the foundation that day, and had a light bulb moment that this was the foundation I had been searching for. Ok, so maybe this is a little dramatic sounding... BUT I promise you, this stuff is like gold...or cocaine...how ever you want to look at it ;) I find it funny that I had set out to find a "flawless" foundation and flawless is in the product name of this one. That must mean it's meant to be. Can you pick up that I'm obsessed...? Good.
Now, on to the application. I almost always use my Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush for foundation. It's the best brush I've found, and I love it for the Dior as well. However, a few months back, I picked up an original Beauty Blender. Let me tell you, these two go together like peanut butter and jelly. No joke. The formula of the "flawless" foundation combined with a damp applicator creates the most beautiful, almost airbrushed look. The best thing about both of these products is that while the Beauty Blender applies a very sheer amount, the foundation is build-able to your desired coverage.
If you have been looking for the perfect natural foundation, I would recommend you this! And yes, I realize Dior is a little on the pricer side, but if you get color matched and find the perfect shade for yourself, you will be pleased to see that this product will last you a very long time. The bottle is 1.0 fl oz, contains SPF 25 and has a pump, which is always nice! (I am shade 032 Rosy Beige (warm medium beige/ for medium complexions with pink undertones) in the DiorSkin Forever Flawless foundation.)Do you have a secret application method for getting a flawless look?XO, Carrie
