The Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream goes smoothly on my skin, all I use is my hands but if you want to get fancy you can use a foundation brush. It cover any imperfections perfectly (pun intended) it’s like foundation and concealer in one. And it’s loaded with gentle ingredient and not harsh chemicals. Really a must-have!

laura mercier oil free supreme foundation

Another great foundation find this week laura mercier oil free supreme. The magic word is oil free because I can’t stand oily foundations they feel too heavy on the skin and look too shiny. This one has a matte finish. It’s silicone-free, fragrance free, and doesn’t rub off too quickly. Comes in 12 shades, mine is Honey Beige. $42. Available at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Sephora.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Makeup Collcetion

I absolutely love and very impressed with Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Makeup, concealer, powder, and radiance firming makeup liquid foundation. They are light and airy. And it’s available at your local drugstores. It’s nice to know that I don’t always need to spend lots of money to get a good foundation. Thanks Maybelline for making it possible:)

L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle Foundation

Best foundation of the day and on Marta Walsh’s Best Foundation List of all times: L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle. It feels super light on the face yet it covers perfectly (like its slogan it looks like ‘Magic’) all imperfection on the skin. But the best thing about this foundation is that it’s so matte you can even skip a face powder which is un-heard-of with some other brand foundations.

Most of them I find feel are too shiny and wet after I apply…

L’Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé & True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup SPF 19

Drugstore Gems. L’Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé and L’Oreal Paris True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup SPF 19. I was recently on a desperate search for the right foundation for my face. Sometimes it happens to the best of us when nothing works for some reason. I was looking for a gentle foundation that is easy and not too messy to apply. Not too oily and shiny and not too dry either. I found Magic Smooth Soufflé and True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Makeup. I also found the perfect shade for me Sun Beige which suites my light olive skin so it doesn’t make me look too pale.
