I started the day with clean, treated (I have Rosacea) and moisturized skin.
As you can see, I have lots of spots and baggy eyes (my eyeballs are HUGE and stick way out from my eye sockets which causes my old baggy eyes to look even more baggy! I bet it's just going to get worse!!). Sorry, for the short rant, but really, I wish I could wake up one morning with 20 year-old skin again. I really, really miss my 20's. Any way, I digress. After priming my face with Sephora's Illuminating face primer I applied two pumps of the YSL foundation using a foundation brush.
Now a beauty, I am not, but you have to admit, this YSL foundation is fantastic. It looks very natural, covers well and I do not break out in any nasty rashes by the end of the day. The foundation blends well and can be built up if you need extra coverage in spots. Here is another angle:
That is what I looked like for work today. I think my skin looks the best that it can look with this foundation and I feel I'm taking better care of it by using the YSL. I never really noticed it before, but I have HUGE ears as well as HUGE pokey-out eyes. Oh, and not be out done is my GIGANTIC nose. I could be the big bad wolf from Little Red Riding Hood! You know, "Grandma! What big eyes you have!! The better to see you with, my dear." Of course I don't recall LRRH saying anything about Grandma's HUGE nose, but she probably would have if the wolf hadn't jumped out the bed and tried to eat her! Man, talk about getting off subject!!
Here is my list of good/bad about the YSL foundation:
- Goes on smoothly with fingers or foundation brush (I haven't tried a sponge yet).
- Lots of shades (16 to be exact!)
- Never looks cakey.
- Blends better than any other foundation I've ever used.
- Can be built up if needed.
- Doesn't have a scent (at least that I could detect).
- Great coverage.
- Sits beautifully on the skin.
- Pricey.
- The bottle is quite heavy so carrying it in your handbag for touch-ups is not easy.
Yes, even with numbers 9 and 10, this is my favorite foundation. At $55 a bottle I have to make it last, but if I have to buy a bottle every three months that's $225 per year for foundation and I'm worth the investment.
As you can see in this video, there is absolutely NO comparison to be made between Maybelline and Yves Saint Laurent!! Believe me, NONE!
That's it for now! Thanks for stopping by. I haven't decided what I'll be blogging about next, but I'll try to make it fun. That is my goal in life; have some fun. You get but one spin on this earth and I want mine to be good no matter what else is happening around me. See you next time and until then, keep your chin (or if you're like me, chins) up, Sweeties!
