Almay Truly Lasting Liquid Makeup

It really does last

I have sensitive skin, so I try to stick with brands such as Almay as much as possible... and they have never let me down yet! All of my favorite foundations have come from Almay! This one is definitely the best. No matter how much primer I use, no matter how much powder I use (and I would prefer not to use too much), by the end of my long and stressful days, my foundation is gone. Heck, by lunch my makeup looks terrible. Not this one! I have ran, worked, cried- all in one day, and my makeup still looked great. The consistency might be a little thick for some people (it feels a little oily to me), but personally its just right for me, because I have a lot of redness on my cheeks- too much for concealer, so this gets the job done. The reason I bought this in the first place is another reason I love it so much- it actually matches my skin tone. I have really fair skin, but most drug store makeup companies are under the assumption that if you have freakishly pale skin, you also look pink. Nope, not me. I have yellow undertones to my skin, and 140 Buff matches my skin as perfectly as any foundation ever will. This foundation, unlike so many others, never looks cakey, blends easily, and stays on! And it actually matches my faceI love it!!

Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse

Been using this for awhile - I love it!

I first discovered this product many months ago, and it is my absolute favorite! Its a little odd to apply and blend, especially when you are used to a liquid foundation. If it isn't blended properly, it appears really caked on. The consistency once you start blending it is really difficult to explain. However, I like it! I have fairly oily skin, especially during the summer, so this works well for me.

Revlon PhotoReady Sculpting Blush Palette

Not the best, but pretty decent

I don't normally use blush, but got this to experiment with contouring. The product comes with 3 little shades of blush- and I do mean little! Its impossible to actually use the tiny brush that actually comes with the palette. However, my giant blush brush covers all three colors at once. It's sized a bit more like an eyeshadow palette. Besides this obvious design flaw, I like the product itself. The darkest and lightest shades are perfect for a subtle hint of contouring, and enhancing my cheekbones. The middle shade (the largest) however, is useless. As other reviews on here mentioned, there is no pigment whatsoever, no matter what you do. This was only true for the middle shade though, which didn't really matter for me, because it was kind of an ugly color. (I have 003 Neutral). There's definitely room for improvement, but I've seen worse!
