Aw man. Another one bites the dust.

So, I have been wanting to get re color matched at Sephora. It's good to get it done about once a season. This month, I was matched to 2Y02. It's not too yellow, it's a cooler color than I normally get, but that's alright. And the color match was fantastic. Hourglass seamless stick foundation in Alabaster. I looked flawless. For all of 3 hours.  And then it melted. Off my face. I refuse to even post a picture because I feel like maybe it's not meant for temperamental skin like mine.

Back to the matching board.

Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I am rather fond of this foundation. I use a color corrector underneath it and it doesn't change the consistency of the product. I find this works well in the winter months, when my cheeks are a bit more 'slapped' looking than the serum. it's more coverage than the serum and gives more a matte finish. It's not heavy coverage, but more 'my face but better'.

Foundation: tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15

I believe that I have written that I have rosacea in nearly every single review I have ever done. That said, it's important in this instance.
I am very very fair, I have neutral undertones but very reddened cheeks so it's difficult for the Sephora staff to match me. This is not their fault, I am just complicated. I find that this formula in Fair Sand is perfection for me. I do not need to use a color corrector underneath and it blends well into my skin where I do not have any redness.
I was a regional burning man festival all weekend in the autumn, this foundation lasted well into the night. (With the help of a little primer, a bit of setting powder and setting spray, of course). My skin didn't turn into an oil slick or dry out like the Mojave desert. It just works well. Get yours here :)
