read plz b4 u comment 🥲
so basically, I only own two foundations, both of which I received in pr, I own one by Laura Mercier but it's in my Summer shade so it's wayyyy too dark for me rn and one from elf that's a bit too orange.
I filmed makeup videos of me learning how to do my makeup, But they're all so horrendous, bc the colors are just not right 🥲
and I don't want to go to Sephora because I went there to get shade matched for my concealer but it's really bright so I just figured I might just blind buy again 🥲 But I've made my peace with that
so anyway, that's a really long winded way of saying that I need foundation recommendations from the experienced makeup girlies 🥹
I kind of want to try the LYS foundation, because they're a black business and we love that, But I was also thinking elf because they have a dupe for everything and everyone seems to use that one, and also I was thinking kim chi Beauty because they're really affordable
But anyone who has a set makeup routine, what foundation do you recommend?
and while I'm at it, what setting powder as well? I have one pressed powder, wrong shade of course, and I figured I would just get a translucent powder
keep in mind I'm a beginner 🥲 so something that is affordable and works with pretty much anything would be great
When it comes to finding the right foundation as a beginner, it can be overwhelming given the vast options available. Many people often recommend starting with versatile, buildable formulas that can match various skin types and tones. Consider exploring drugstore options, which are often just as effective but much more budget-friendly. Brands like LYS Beauty offer high-quality products while also supporting Black-owned businesses. ELF is well-known for having dupes of high-end products and is a great choice for those looking to save money. Kim Chi Beauty is another excellent option with affordable prices and a diverse product range. These brands cater to beginners and experienced makeup users alike, making them suitable for a variety of makeup routines. Additionally, translucent powders are popular for setting the foundation without adding extra color or heaviness, making them a perfect choice for beginners who might have shades of powder that don't perfectly match their foundation. Look out for reviews or swatches online to find what works best for your skin type, ensuring your final look is flawless. Additionally, participating in online beauty communities can provide you with real-time recommendations and experiences from real users, enhancing your makeup journey!
