Foundation... Maybe review?

     My skin type is combination oily, sadly yes with a T-zone. I found out after trying make that my skin is sensative and smacking on any foundation regularly would likely break me out.

     My first foundation was the cover girl powder foundation, which i thought 'hey I don't need too much coverage' but later found myself wanting more, powder foundation was not too good for me considering when I put it on I looked like i can't blend in baby powder so it made me look unnatural... Not that flawless look like Michelle Phan would have, so I decided for a change... (Plus I think the powder didn't match me anyways... till this day I still have it and use the container as a mirror, much of the product still remains sadly)

   The second foundation that I've tried is the cover girl liquid foundation. which I loved the package. The pump part of the package is absolutely a brilitant consideration when buying foundation, however the quality of the product was not amusing to me. I felt that it didnt provide enough coverage that I wanted for all my pimples... and scares.... Plus finding the right skin tone was very difficult. I've recently realized it doen't cater too much for yellow skin tones...

    The then I saw great reviews from different beauty gurus online about the revelon color stay liquid foundation, so I thought hey why not? they had a great color selection for yellow people, so I found colors that actually managed to match me, ( I had to subtly open containers at the store an test it a little on my skin to see if it matched) So far that product is great for me, It smells a littl weird but it really does stay on long. Especially considering the heat from being outside daily and runing about to classes when the sun is blazing, the product was fairly still there. I don't think the product smudged alot on my face, but it was set with powder, not the cover girl one... I loved how it looked, giving a satin like finish. However some down sides were that it had a smell which is not pleasent, the product dries quickly so when using you need to hurry up and apply it. But over all I love it.

     Thats a few of the foundations that I've tried out I'll post a second part maybe next time.
