Make Up For Ever: Foundation Nation Event

I was so happy when I saw the invite for Make Up For Ever's Beauty Blogger brunch event. As a woman of colour, I know how hard it is to find the perfect foundation. I honestly feel like it's always a never-ending battle but that is slowly starting to change.  

Most women of colour have to deal with skin issues such as discolouration. Which can make it difficult to find a good foundation.  When you have five different tones on your face,

 which tone do you match to?!

Did you know that 73% of women have problems with finding right foundation. 

That means that more than half of us are walking around with the wrong foundation!

YIKES!

At the event, we had the opportunity to speak to the amazing Troy Jensen about our skin issues. Troy has worked with many celebrities to give them their signature look. 

Like Kim Kardashian's smoky bedroom eyes. 

Troy gave me tips on how to get the perfect skin tone as a woman of colour. 

Guess what the secret is!! 

Colour correctors. 

Not specifically the ones the greens and lavender(for me) but one that has an orange in it! 

After the event, there were make up artists there to give us our own private foundation makeover. I loved the fact that I was given my own skin profile card to take with me! The skin profile card went over crucial things such as my skin type, my skin tone, my skin undertone and camouflage options (if I needed). 

For anyone that's interested, 

I was recommended the MUFE 5 Camouflage Cream Palette- No. 4 - for dark skin tones.

Each cream corrector was labelled by number. 

Here is what was specifically used:

• 20 under my eyes
• 22 like darker areas like around my lips

For the whole face- Pro Finish in 177 was used.

I should also add that this look was done with their new artisan brushes! 

Which are so soft. I will have a separate post on them soon.

Do you have a Sephora store near you?
If so, stores cross Canada are holding educational events from September 19 to October 6 to help you solve your biggest foundation challenges.Experienced make up artists will be on hand to give you a complementary 15 minute foundation lesson to empower you to put your flawless face forward.

Must haves for Fall- Glasses

I love fall fashion/ make up. Rich tones such as ox blood & cedar browns excite me. What is your ultimate fall makeup look? Mine would be a wine coloured lips and black liner for drama. BUT! You know you can’t have the look without the clothing and accessories.

One quick way and easy way to change up your look is by switching up your glasses! One of my favourite online glasses retailers www.clearlycontacts.ca has some great styles which would look great on anyone this Fall.

First, let me start of by saying online shopping for glasses is a unique experience. When I got my first pair from them last year- I had no issues. Mind you it was my second pair- so I totally knew what to expect. I found a pair that I loved and knew it would fit my face shape/nose. I then entered the details exactly as how they appeared on my prescription from my eye doctor. Filled out other necessary information any and they were at my door in no time.

Dsquared spotted red brown

$199.00

Marc by Marc Jacobs Black Crystal
$139.00

Hello Kitty Raspberry

Each of them unique and the perfect “must have” this season!
