FOUNDATION FOR COMBINATION OILY SKIN:

Image
My biggest issue with foundation that can endure oily skin is that most of them look like So. Much. Makeup. In all of my product trial and error I would find foundations that would stay looking more matte, but then I looked like a floating head of foundation. Not my fave. I am still on the hunt for the perfect foundation, but til then, this ones pretty good Double Wear Light   -medium coverage -Best for t-zone oily, or oily OR if you want a long-ish wear -What I like about it—it dries and sets -After several hours I get a little bit “radiant” but it’s tolerable. Not super flat matte, but not greaseball. THINGS TO NOTE: -Limited color options so I often have to mix them to get a match (I’m a 3 mixed with a 3.5 sometimes 4) -I have to wash my foundation brush more often because the foundation stiffens in it.   -For the first few hrs I feel a tiny bit makeup-ey. Not over the top, but like I’m wearing foundation. After about 3-4 hrs it looks more natural.

Every year when Fashion Week rolls around, you can bet that our editors here at Team LC are taking frivolous notes. Not only are we keeping track of clothing and accessories, but we also love to see which makeup trends are on point for the upcoming months. If I’ve learned anything from scouring the Spring 2017 runways it’s that glitter is totally  in.  I’m not talking about the roll on glitter sticks of the past though. Some of my favorite glittery trends include shimmery cheeks, glitzy lips, and eyes that sparkle from across the room. Like most things, I prefer my beauty regimen to stay subtle yet sophisticated—because sometimes less really is more. Since I’ve been inspired to add a little shimmer to my own makeup routine, I thought I’d do a roundup of products that will leave you sparkling in all the right places too. From the prettiest pearlescent highlighters to eyeliner that shines like diamonds, the glitter gang is really all here. Keep scrolling to get the look… Eyes
