After one too many awkward moments at the Clinique counter (click here for details), I decided to give drug-store foundation a try. (And, awkard moments aside, I'm kind of tired of spending that much money for a tiny little bottle of make-up - no matter how many miracles it has worked on my face).
As I was browsing the aisle full of foundations, I was struck by the unrealistic names they gave each of the different shades.Classic Ivory, Creamy Natural, Soft Honey, Warm Beige....
Really?
As I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but think that finding a foundation to match the shade of my skin was going to be next to impossible.
I searched high and low but couldn't find anything that would do. There was nothing even close. No shades called Pale & Pastey, Splotchy or Ruddy. They didn't even have anything like Sickly-Vampire, Grayish, or Motley.
Sigh...
Well, necessity is the mother of invention, right?
So I bought the Classic Ivory, some blusher, a light gray eye shadow and some iodine (I thought the iodine would really make it pop). I figured that if I mix them all together, I could probably get a good match to my skin.
Watch out Smart, Beautiful, CoverGirl. You've got some competition.
