I’m currently on the hunt for the perfect foundation.

I’ve watched countless reviews before I decided to go with the MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation which is what I currently use. If you look back at previous blog posts, I decided to go with that, after my Bare Minerals foundation seemed to stop working for me. I was really bummed, because when I found Bare Minerals, I just knew I had found the foundation that would last me a lifetime.
And to be honest with you, I will probably end up going back to Bare Minerals, but for now, I’m on the hunt to find the perfect foundation. Why? Because MAC isn’t perfect. I’m on the hunt for the perfect foundation for me.
Here’s a brief summary of my skin: Before children, I had clear skin. I would say it was normal/combination as it is now. I would get the occasional breakout, usually during that time of the month, and it would usually be in my t-zone. Like, I had textbook skin. Once I got pregnant with Brianna, that all changed and my skin hasn’t been the same since.
Proactiv worked after Brianna, my skin cleared, and I started using Bare Minerals and never had a problem until after Jordan was born. Proactiv didn’t work. Neither did Bare Minerals. Now I have dark spots from acne, I breakout regularly, and the MAC Studio Fix Fluid doesn’t help that.
One of my biggest complaints about the MAC foundation I use, is the fact that it oxidizes throughout the day and starts to turn ruddy on me–a red,clay undertone. Also, it rubs off fairly easily. So it only takes a few times of sneezing before I lose all coverage under my nose. So I’m now on the hunt…

Maybe your skin has changed because your diet no longer provides the vitamins your body needs, like maybe you don't eat the same nutrients and vitamins that you used to before your children were born? Or maybe your body needs more of certain vitamins now that you're older. Vitamins A and C are pretty well known for helping clear dark spots and making skin look great. I'd recommend trying some vitamin creams or oral supplements. Thanks for the good read.
