 Recently we received a blog reader's question about my brows.
What do you use? I personally have blonde eyebrows and I started filling them in when I was in high school. The first product I feel in love with was Benefit's Brow Zing. The was my ride or die brow product for years! I actually still use it. I do think there are better products out there and that are easier to use. But because I have used this product for a least 15 years now, its my comfort zone product. The last couple of years I’ve played with different products. The line I find best at the moment is Anastasia Beverly Hills. They have a large number of brow products and each one is great, it just depends on the look and color your going for. I’m loving their Brow Definer, which I put on first, then I fill over it with the powder from my Benefit Brow Zing. I still put my Brow Zing powder over it, because I just find the color of the powder is a perfect match for me. I no longer use the wax that comes in the compact, just the powder.

I love trying new ones, drugstore and high-end and I love the even canvas they create to add on concealer, contour, highlight, and blush. I have normal-to-oily skin but I do not tend to love super matte foundations. I tend to gravitate to more natural finish foundations. For reference I am around a NW20/NC25 in MAC foundations and light beige in Tarte foundations.
My long time favorite foundation was the Make Up For Ever Face and Body foundation. Unfortunately, this foundation was discontinued last year and was replaced with the Water Blend Face and Body Foundation. While I don’t find the newer formula to be as good as the original I still do find myself reaching for this foundation on a regular basis. I love this foundation for days when you know you will be taking pictures, want a light feeling foundation, or don’t need a ton of coverage. This foundation looks beautiful in photos. Whenever I see a picture of myself and think my skin looks great it’s almost always when I had been wearing this foundation. It’s not a high coverage/buildable foundation, but I find that it evens my skin tone and I can go in with concealer on the areas that I need more coverage (spot concealing and under the eyes- I will talk about my faves in my next post). One downside to this foundation is that it is not the longest wearing product (typically 6-8 hours on me), which may not be a great option for a full work day or a long night out. I am in shade R-250- beige nude. This product is sold at Sephora, $43.00 USD. Make Up For Ever HD is another one of my favorite foundations. It is another liquid foundation that comes in a variety of shades. This foundation looks beautiful on the skin and has more coverage than the water foundation. I find that this foundation is buildable and I tend to use two pumps for my entire face. This foundation lasts around 10 hours on my skin in the colder months- probably around 8 hours in the summer when my skin is a little oilier. This foundation makes it through my workdays still looking great on the skin with just a couple blots throughout the day. I don’t find that this cakes or separates when I blot/powder throughout the day. This foundation also looks great in photos and on camera- hence HD in the name. I am in shade Y225- Marble. This product is sold at Sephora, $43.00 USD. For a drugstore option I have been loving Maybelline Matte & Poreless foundation for the past few months. This product is around $10 at the drugstore and is a great alternative to high-end foundations that can be pricey- especially if worn on an everyday basis. This foundation is full coverage, leans towards a more matte finish (but not matte to the point where you look lifeless), and stays on the skin all day. I can wear this to work for a 10-12 hour shift and it still looks great on the skin at the end of the day. This foundation also looks great in photos but I would recommend the other two over this one if you know you will be taking a ton of photos. This product is sold at all drugstores/Ulta, typically between $8-12 USD depending on the store. I always set all three of these foundations with either a translucent powder or a light powder foundation (I will talk about my faves in an upcoming post), as well as a setting spray (also coming in a blog post).
