Hunting Still

Today I tried on a dab of MAC. The foundation she chose matched my skin well, I thought, though because it was only a small patch that I had to work with, it was difficult for me to discern much about their product. The lady helping me flat out refused to do my full face unless I purchased something. Assinine.

Estee Lauder was fabulous. The woman who has helped me today has helped me in the past. She gave me a weeks worth of foundation to try on. It is called Cool Bone. I quite liked it. It covered well and felt light weight, though wasa touch heavier than the one at Chanel.

I went to Bobbi Brown next for a match that worked well enough to match my skin tone, though the lady who applied it missed my nose entirely. Quite unfortunate, really. My issue with what she chose for me is that I have dry skin and she went with a powder foundation which usually ends up irritating my skin. I'll probably avoid Bobbi Brown for a while yet. The shade she chose was Porcelain 155.

After that I ended up going to Lancôme, where we took off all the foundation from Bobbi Brown and I got a full face makeover in their Renergie Lift 140 Porcelain 20C. This foundation is on par with the beautiful Beige Rose from Chanel, I thought. It's a light liquid foundation and the coverage is just perfect. She also used this marvelous hydrating toner-serum and their absolute oil to further moisturise my skin. She completed the look with their blusher called Miel Glace and a highlighter.

Overall, I find myself impressed with the service and product quality at Lancôme and Estee Lauder. They along with Chanel make up my top three contenders.

The lippie I am wearing today is Backtalk by Urban Decay, and my eyes are done with theTwinkle Pop Cream eyeshadow Stick in On the Verge by Marc Jacobs.
