I've done my makeup 100,000 times in the last 30 years, And lately without fail, I am stopping myself mid application and saying “ What is THAT? Why does my skin look like THAT?"
Here's the thing nobody in the beauty industry wants us to know…..
Most foundations are not made for our aging skins.
🤦♀️🤦♀️
What?!? I know right?!?
They’re made for the 14- 34 year-old, oil rich, or poreless, ring-light, people , who've never experienced a pillow mark past 10:00am haha🤦♀️
Trust Me - I’ve tried them all from drug store to professional- no matter how much exfoliating I do or how many treatments I get I seem to be still struggling with my makeup.
These are my honest opinions lately…..
Maybelline Fit Me: Coverage is mid, wear is inconsistent, and by hour 3 she's settling into every crease I have.
Dermablend: Coverage starts strong, finish feels smooth, and by hour three it’s mapped out every fine line like a contour guide or something.
Fenty: RiRi. Gorgeous.Iconic. But on My skin?
It grabs every single line and says "let me spotlight that for you.”
IL Makiage? Yip got that one too!! Five minutes of flawless, then it oxidizes, and separates.
The shade quiz says “perfect match,” But my mirror says otherwise. 🤷🏻♀️
Estée Lauder Double Wear? Used to LOVE this! Loyal, Full coverage, zero flexibility. Sits on top of your skin like armour, and maps out every wrinkle I never knew I had. Unfortunately it oxidized on me as well, not a lot, but enough that I noticed.
At This Point.. Every. Single. One. Settled, showed my lines, & oxidized by lunch.
Then I found this one…… Colorescience

Colorescience Flex™ does something none of those brands do: it adapts to YOUR skin chemistry.
