I always pondered whether or not buying this foundation was worth it. $44 for foundation...seriously? My wallet and heart bursted into tears as I handed my money to the statuesque woman in heavy makeup. I bought this at Sephora during Black Friday..It wasn't even on sale T_T. I gotta say, this foundation is the ish~. This foundation is perfect for taking photos and feels like I'm not even wearing makeup at all, but has great, buildable coverage. Medium to high coverage actually. Look at my photos below and see for yourself :).
It does, however, feel a bit..greasy during the day. It's best to set this foundation with it's corresponding powder. But, I use Maybelline Mineral Translucent Powder to set. I wasn't about to spend all the money I didn't have on the corresponding powder. I have normal to dry skin, so I never experience oiliness during the day. But when I got this foundation, I did. But, primer and powder fixed the issue. I use a bit more on my dark circles (caused by never ending nights of studying) and areas that have higher pigmentation. All in all, I like this foundation and I use my L'Oreal Paris True Match Liquid Foundation in C8 that is a shade lighter, for highlighting. I put L'Oreal Paris on the areas of my face that's lighter. Anyways, I apply my foundation with a stippling brush.
I also noticed that the Makeup Forever HD Foundation settles into my pores and my smile lines...but that was before I invested in primer. This is the first foundation I found that perfectly matched my skin tone. There was actually an employee at Sephora that was wearing the foundation and was my skin tone. I was elated. Just..so..freaking..happy.
