Whacky Wednesday Q & A.... A few questions answered

Hey there lovelies.....

I've been asked some questions regarding make up and things of the sort... So today I'm going to address two of them.

1. What is best to wear when you have moles? Powder or Foundation?

This is a great question! Let's start by breaking it down first.  The question you want to ask yourself is are you going for full coverage or semi coverage?  If you want full coverage which is what you see most often on magazine covers for more of a flawless look then this is the way that you want to go.  Most full coverage foundations will cover most blemishes especially if coupled with concealer.  You can also use a translucent powder on top of the foundation to give it a matte finish.

2.  Powder...well powder can be used in a few different ways. Powder foundation tends to give less coverage than a cream to powder foundation, liquid or stick (full) coverage.  In my opinion they wont give the best coverage to cover moles or blemishes.  There are some that I've tried that give great coverage with more than one application. What I mean by that is apply once, then immediately reapply.  There are blot powders that don't give any color but are great to control shine after applying foundation.  Then you have translucent powders some with tent that are more comparable to your particular skin tone but they don't tend to effect the color of the foundation that is originally applied.

Another very important key factor when shopping for foundation of any kind is to first determine how much money you want to spend and shop with that in mind.  You can go to stores like Sephora or Ulta and find pretty much every hi end brand that you could ever want. However, if cost is an issue and you're looking for something a little more cost effective there are brands like Black Opal and the Queen Collection by Covergirl that are great as well and come in multiple colors from the very fair to the darkest skin tone.  The prices on these products can range anywhere from $10 - $45. Black Opal can be purchased on line and Queen Collection can be found in most drug stores like Walgreens.

I hope this helps....
