Then a year later before my son's birthday. I was planning his birthday, and looked in the mirror and I noticed I had brown discoloration in my skin. I had dry cheeks and an oily t-zone. Something that I never stopped and really paid attention. I stopped taking care of my skin when I was pregnant and sure did not start any skin care routine either.
Now I guess it was my skin telling me, payback!! So I decided to look for a light coverage foundation. I went to the mall I looked at mac it looked appealing but I didn't want to get into it again, so I passed it by... Then I came across bare minerals. I liked the way it looked on everyone I seen on the tv commercials. I decided to go to Ulta which is just like 10 minutes from my house. I allowed the makeup artist to put the foundation and just basically give me a make over. I liked the way that bare minerals looked on my skin it made it seem flawless. I was wearing medium beige. I liked the warmth and the mineral veil. I liked the fact that they said everything was made out minerals and it was not going to be harsh on the skin.
Well I started wearing it in march, I live in vegas so at that time it was not hot yet. Well here comes summer in vegas in June, and it's blazing hot. Well guess what every time I would sweat or heat would reach my face it would feel as if I just wanted to scratch my whole face off. I couldn't understand what it was I was using the same products for months. So I kept using it thinking that everything would just be fine if I just stick it out.
One day, I was just curious and I went on youtube and then I searched bare minerals. Come to find out a lot of women just like myself had the same issues. Well its an ingredient in the bare minerals that makes you have the itching sensation. So out on another adventure on the search for an additional foundation. While on YT, I swear the people on YT make you just want to buy everything. They rant and rave about the products and do several products reviews. You are convinced you like the product. Well I tried everyday minerals, I got the sample kit figured out my correct color then order the full size products. Well then guess what you put the product on with a primer, and it would just slide right off my face! Then again, a waste of my money...
I finally gave into mac, I purchased their mineralized skinfinish in natural. I liked it just for the fact that it was to powdery. I purchased the mineralized satin finish w/ spf 15 & it works great with the natural powder. This has to be my all time favorite. I currently use the mac 187 to apply the fluid foundation then use the 181 or the 150 brush to apply the natural powder.
I will post up some pictures to show the difference between foundations. And not to mention all the other foundations I have tried recently. So enough rambling, now yet again I into MAC!
