The truth is that most women need more coverage than a BB cream. It's great as a primer, but personally I don't love the feeling of having 17 layers on my skin for every day makeup! Enter the happiest chain of accidents that's ever lived.....
A few months ago I was in the market for some new foundation because the ole complexion just ain't as radiant as it once was, and my Maybelline Age Rewind, while it's the perfect color, just wasn't impressing me. I went into Wal-Mart originally thinking that I'd try some new concealer, since it's usually cheaper than foundation, and yours truly is DEF on a budget, per the usual! I'd been searching around and after a friend's recommendation of Kat Von D's concealer, decided to try the drugstore dupe, Hard Candy's Glam-o-flage. (Have I mentioned I have some serious circles?? Yeah. It's like that. I ain't 'shamed!)
While in the Hard candy section, I stumbled across their "Just Face It" foundation, a primer, concealer, and foundation all in one, it's bottle claimed! Ok yes, I'm a sucker. I instantly grabbed it, hoped it would be a miracle worker, but after all the promises that makeup companies usually make and fail to deliver on, was definitely skeptical. But hey, it was 7 bucks, how could I say no??
Well of course, I had to try it on as soon as I got in the car and let's just say that the glam-o-flage did not impress me. (I hung in there with it for a couple more weeks just to make sure, but if you have anything, even slightly resembling an undereye wrinkle, it will settle in there. ew. nope. bye) but then I tried the foundation.
Oooohh Glorious perfect foundation! It was everything it promised and more. My skin looked damn near perfect. and that was JUST ONE PRODUCT. I tried it again the next time I got ready to see if I'd have the same result and I did! This time, I finished it off with concealer,powder and bronzer because it was date night but my gosh it takes my face from "EW" to "ohhhh she has great skin"! It is a $7 miracle and I don't know how I lived without it. I apply it with a big, slightly rounded brush from my coastal scents brush set and it just looks amazing and melts right into my skin! I could ramble on about it for hours, but you'll just have to try it to believe me :) I do still need to apply a tiny bit of concealer to blemishes and my undereye circles because my skin is particularly ew from time to time, but I would imagine for anyone who had just normal discoloration, that one coat of foundation only would do the trick for a natural day look.
And, As if I was even close to done raving about this foundation, I've found that in the summer months I mix it right into a little bit of my moisturizer for an AMAZING sheer look that STILL COVERS!!!!!!!! If you hate thick foundation, this will definitely be the route for you. One morning while in a rush I put my foundation on immediately after I'd moisturized and it just blended into the softest, sheerest perfection I could have ever thought about! Like a BB cream on steroids!!
Please go out and get yourself a bottle of this wonder-potion. It will NOT disappoint!
