30-Day Beauty Blog Challenge: Day 04 — Your favorite foundation

Here are my three all time favorite foundations. Again... there are reasons why there are three on here. One for a different occasion. Now for those who are M.A.C. literate... I'm in between NC42 and NC45. I'm the cocoa butter shade hawaiian.

MUFE HD Foundation - Shade 173
Perfect for the nights out foundation. Doesn't give me a white cast at all when I take pics with my bitches and gives my complexion a satin perfect finish. Costs ~$40 but definitely worth it. I only use it when I'm going out at nights.

NARS Sheer Glow - Tahoe
Now I have crazy Oily skin... so why did I choose the sheer glow?? Well... it's the perfect winter foundation for me. My skin gets dry in some areas but the main reason is that I JUST LOVEEEEEEE the glowyness this foundation gives. I know people compare it to the Revlon Photoready... but I don't think it is even comparable. The revlon photoready makes me look like a drag Disco B-pall. The NARS makes me look dewy and healthy especially on the dry winter months!

MUFE DUO MAT - 214/209
This is my failsafe everyday foundation. It used to be the MAC studio fix powder... but when this baby came along... I put the studio fix on the back burner. I apply it using the basic sponge and only a little gives you a nice medium coverage. Keeps my oily face under control during the day as well. Again... just for a face powder for $32 is a lot of money... trust me I know... but man oh man... it is worth it!!

I'd like to note that I do NOT wear foundation everyday. Maybe once in 3 days or when I have meetings or just wanting to feel that extra pretty. Also would like to add that with ALL my liquid foundies I apply them all with the Sonia Kashuk Sponge. The BeautyBlender dupe. The first time I used the beauty sponge to apply my foundie... I fell in love and it is my holy grail applicator. Never goin' back!!!
