Dear Carissa- Foundation Advice; BECCA Cosmetics

Dear Carissa,

I am trying to find a foundation that is natural looking and easy to apply. My current foundation, I love the way it goes on and the look of it but it just doesn’t last. I want a primer too that makes it last a little longer and also helps my shine.

Do I have unrealistic expectations that foundation should last all day?

Thanks so much!

Calling the creme rich isn̵… Read More…

Maybe it’s because Urban Decay is changing the packaging for their legendary Eyeshadow Primer Potion from a wand to a tube (good call btw), but I don’t care. I picked one up today at Nordstrom Rack for just $9, a good deal but not as good as this trio at Sephora for $22. If the ‘vintage’ (as they call it) packaging with the wand doesn’t bother you, stock up on a few of these silky shadow primers while they last.
