The plan was to find a new foundation as I'm disliking my MAC one at the moment, I find that it makes me look darker (cousin A said it was because it oxidises). I wasn't too sure what brand I wanted but my cousin A was on hand and suggested a few. I tried on the Chanel Mat Lumiere which I found too heavy and caked on, though to be fair the sales assistant layered it on far too much. I then tried on Nars Sheer Glow, I wasn't impressed with the sales assistant's way of applying the foundation to my face. She just used her fingers (I didn't see her wash or sanitise her hands!). As you can guess I wasn't taken by Nars but it could be that she didn't wipe off the Chanel foundation properly so again my face with rather cakey! Also she cousin A said she wasn't really selling the product, her mind was on something else!
The last foundation was Bobbi Brown. This time I was impressed with the way the sales assistant prepared my skin! She wiped off all the foundation(s) and followed it by hydrating my skin with moisturiser and serum. The foundation was
Skin Foundation SP15 in shade 3.5. It went on very smoothly and it's extremely light, it felt fluid, like water, probably because it is water base! The effect you achieve with this foundation is more natural glow, so there is a little shine which I'm not used to so I asked for a little powder! Anyway I thought you had to put on powder afterwards to set the foundation?
I also got a corrector which I desperately needed for my horrid under eye bags. This is the problem when I have really early rises and late nights!
