COVERGIRL clean (sensitive skin) foundation


This foundation is 100% oil free with a hypoallergenic formula designed for sensitive skin types. The foundation gives a light weight to medium coverage with a natural finish to the skin.

I find it necessary to apply powder after applying it to the face because by itself the longevity is not the best. Applying powder on top of the foundation gives me a good six to eight hours before it starts looking oily.
I also always make sure to moisturize my skin before applying foundation. This gives the foundation a surface to stick to and of course it moisturizes the skin. There is no SPF in this foundation, so I recommend using a moisturizer with an SPF of 30 for every day use. I have been using this product for a month now and I can say that for the price of just $6 and its performance with a powder, it is a good foundation for every day use.

If you have very oily skin this may not be the best foundation for you. I have combination skin and it works for me, but like I said for best results use a powder with it. If you have dry skin moisturize really good and then apply the foundation, you probably will not need to use a powder to set the foundation. I also want to mention that this product does not break me out nor cause me any type of irritation. The consistency is very creamy and I would recommend applying the foundation with your fingers for a beautiful finish.

elf Small Stipple Brush


The elf small stippling brush is a great brush to have in your collection because let me tell you, this brush is not just affordable, but it's also a good quality brush. elf first came out with the studio stippling brush, which I also have in my collection.

The small stippling brush in my opinion is way better then the original one. After using both brushes for quite some time now, I can say that the small version is denser compared to the original. The synthetic hairs on the small stippling brush are shorter which makes the brush denser and better for makeup application. Compared to the original, this brush does not leave foundation lines on the face.

 This brush is great to apply foundation, under eye concealer, and blush. I don't know about you, but I hate when I apply foundation and the brush that I'm using is way to big preventing me from getting into the smaller areas like around the nose and under the eye. With this brush I don't have these problems because it is the perfect size for a Precise makeup application.
