If you've been subscribed to my youtube channel for a while (shameless plug: here's my youtube!) you'd know that I went through this short phase of making review videos on different foundations in search of that perfect one for me. Finding the perfect foundation is one hell of a journey. Needless to say, at this point I do have a couple of holy grails but I've become somewhat of a foundation addict.

I'm a little behind on getting this review out, truth be told I purchased this the day it was released in stores. Kat Von D recently released two new absolute hit palettes, one of them being the Pastel Goth eye palette.

Often times at work a client will come to me looking for a new foundation for their dry skin. They'll follow up with the usual complaints, saying that their foundation gets cakey, sticks to dry patches, feels like cement, looks crepey, etc. To my horror, I'll ask about their skincare routine and find out that they either don't have one or will at most stick any ol' moisturizer on their face and go right in with the foundation. Boo, honey, my friends, my dears, my loves, get your skincare routine on lock. As someone that personally has dry skin (lemme tell ya... sometimes I feel like I'm one of those characters from animorphs and I'm shifting into a crocodile) I've spent a lot of time coming up with a bomb routine to get my skin in tip top shape. So I'm here to give you some tips, as well as show you some of my favorite products that I've used or currently use in my morning-nightly rotation.

I've noticed that I tend to really stick to my ways when it comes to foundation. I find one that I see as flattering and don't bother thinking that there could be something even better out there for me. I've recently decided to try to broaden my foundation horizons and step out of my Tarte Amazonian Clay box. There's a good list of foundations that I'd like to try out, but I decided to start with Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Super-Charged Oil-Free Foundation.

I truly never thought there'd come a day where I'd be more disappointed in a foundation than I was with the Marc Jacobs Genius Gel, let alone a foundation by one of my favorite makeup brands.

Ever since I heard about the Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation, my hopes have been high. Becca being one of my favorite brands and just look at that name. "Aqua Luminous Perfecting"? It sounds like perfection in a bottle. It sounds like everything I could ever ask for. It sounds like something only found in dreams. Today I realized that something that good really can only happen in a dream, and this foundation was just too good to be true.
