A Fresh & Flawless Face with Tarte.

My sister called me in a panic last weekend. "I am out of foundation". Well, she knew who to call. She soon came over to go through a few of my makeup drawers, in which one is full of foundation. She wanted a liquid foundation as she felt her skin was becoming overly dry with her normal summertime mineral powders. So, liquid it was.

Finding the perfect finish and the perfect shade when I am sent varying shades of color, is not as easy as it sounds. First, we needed to find a suitable shade. We did the trick of going to a large window with lot's of natural light and swatch many foundations on her jaw line. A few of the shades disappeared into her skin, and that is how I know we hit pay dirt in the shade area. Now, we needed to remove all of the swatches and we started applying two foundations at a time, one to the left side and one to the right side of her face. We only had four foundations, so it did not take that long. One foundation stood out in a big way, and when we decided on it and applied it to her entier face, we were both in awe.

What was this foundation? The one giving off the most beautiful, semi-matte yet luminous finish? Making Cindi's face appear ten years younger than it is?
