Tips for Choosing The Right Foundation


Hey there, Chicks! Today, let’s dive into one of the most crucial steps in our makeup routine: finding the perfect foundation match. As we age, our skin evolves, and so do our needs when it comes to makeup. So, whether you’re dealing with fine lines and wrinkles or just looking to achieve that flawless finish, I’ve got you covered with some savvy tips to ensure you’re picking the right foundation every time.

  1. Know Your Skin Type: Understanding your skin type is key to selecting the right foundation. Is your skin oily, dry, combination, or normal? Different formulas work better for different skin types. For instance, if you have oily skin, opt for oil-free or matte foundations to control shine. Dry skin? Look for hydrating or luminous formulas to add moisture and glow. I have normal skin; sometimes it is dry, and sometimes it is oily. My go-to moisturizer with SPF works for me all year long; shop it here. For my chicks with drier skin, use a hydrating spray, I keep the small bottles everywhere, in my car, makeup bag, and travel bag!
  2. Identify Your Undertone: This is a game-changer! Undertones come in three main categories: warm, cool, and neutral. Knowing yours can help you choose a foundation that blends seamlessly with your skin. Quick tip: Check the veins on your wrist. If they appear greenish, you likely have warm undertones. If they appear bluish, you’re more on the cool side. If you can’t really tell, you might have neutral undertones. For a lighter foundation finish, try my new favorite tinted balm.
  1. Test, Test, Test: Never underestimate the power of testing foundation before purchasing. Swipe a few shades in natural light along your jawline (not just your wrist!). The right shade should disappear seamlessly into your skin. Don’t be afraid to ask for samples to try out in different lighting throughout the day. This is where shopping online is hard, take a few minutes to go into the store to try and test.
  2. Consider Coverage and Finish: Foundations come in various coverages, from sheer to full. Consider what level of coverage you prefer and what your skin needs. As for the finish, options range from matte to dewy. If you have mature skin, you might want to lean towards hydrating or satin finishes to avoid accentuating fine lines. The older I get, the lighter my coverage gets. Check out my current foundation favorites.
  3. Don’t Forget SPF: Sun protection is non-negotiable! Opt for a foundation with added SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. While this isn’t a substitute for dedicated sunscreen, it’s an extra layer of defense, especially if you wear makeup daily.
  4. Adapt with the Seasons: Your skin tone can change throughout the year, so don’t be surprised if you need to switch shades with the seasons. Consider having a lighter shade for winter when your skin may be paler and a slightly darker one for summer when you have a bit more color.

Remember, the perfect foundation should enhance your natural beauty, not mask it. So, take your time, experiment, and embrace your unique glow! With these tips, you’re on your way to flawless, fabulous skin. Stay beautiful, inside and out!

BudhaGirl Diwali Stack

Pinch me! This month, I have the unique opportunity to collaborate with a brand I love on something very personal – Diwali! I continue to exist on my platforms by bringing light and love in times like this. BudhaGirl, as a company, and I have values surrounding daily rituals and gratitude that align perfectly as we celebrate the Festival of Light.

In honor of this partnership and occasion, I have created the Diwali Stack made from my favorite All Weather Bangles in three different colors to help you have mindful glamour all year round! Shop the stack and give love and light this Diwali season.

About Me:

Q: What is one of my favorite daily rituals?

A: I start my mornings with gratitude. I have the Gratitude App, which prompts me daily with something to be grateful for. I love starting my day on a happy note.

Q; What does Mindful Glamour mean to me?

A: It means doing it for yourself. Being glamorous because it makes you feel good.

Q: How do I practice self-care?

A: I take time each day to be phone-free. Lately, I have been using that time to organize small spaces in my home, one drawer or cabinet at a time. How much ‘stuff’ I have accumulated over the years is amazing. Clearing old things out makes me feel lighter and happier.

Q: What is a quote that inspires me?

A: Live and let live. Acknowledging that everyone has their own journey and reasons makes living judgment-free so easy. It’s saying, “You do you.” But nicely.

Q: What is my favorite hobby/activity?

A: Talking to my sister on the phone is truly what grounds me. She is my sounding board and biggest supporter. It’s a daily activity that brings me joy.

Q: Best Travel Spot?

A: Anywhere I can be overcome with nature’s beauty is best for me. I love places like Sedona and Vancouver, but I look forward to a trip to Iceland in 2024.

Q: What is my celebrity style icon?

A: I love everyday women the most. But if I had to choose a celebrity, it would be Jessica Alba; she seems down to earth, driven, and fun!

Q: What would it be if I had to describe my style in one word?

A: Random! One day, I am wearing leather, and the next, I have a peplum floral top on. I love trying everything!

As always, thanks for being part of my tribe.

Picking The Right Mascara

Choosing the right mascara can enhance your eyelashes and complete your desired makeup look. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a mascara:

  1. Definition vs. Volume: Determine whether you want to focus on defining your lashes or adding volume; some mascaras are specifically formulated to provide length and definition, while others focus on adding fullness and volume.
  2. Brush Shape: Different mascara wands have varying shapes and bristle arrangements, which affect the application and outcome. For example, curved wands are designed to lift and curl lashes, while straight wands can help separate and define them. Test different brush shapes to see which one suits your lashes best.
  3. Formula Type: Mascaras come in different formulas, such as waterproof, smudge-proof, or regular. Waterproof mascara is water-resistant, making it ideal for occasions like swimming or rainy days. Smudge-proof mascaras are designed to prevent smearing or flaking throughout the day. Regular formulas are easy to remove with regular makeup remover. Choose a formula based on your needs and preferences.
  4. Desired Look: Consider the look you want to achieve. Opt for a lengthening mascara with a lighter formula if you prefer a natural, subtle look. Choose a volumizing mascara or a thicker formula for more dramatic or bold lashes. Some mascaras also offer a combination of lengthening and volumizing properties.

Lancome has a collection of mascaras to help you achieve your desired look!

Here is a full comparison and review of their top-selling mascaras:

Remember to replace your mascara every three to six months to maintain its effectiveness and prevent the risk of eye infections.

Ultimately, the best mascara for you will depend on your personal preferences, desired results, and unique lash characteristics. Experimenting with different brands and types of mascaras will help you find the perfect one for your lashes.

I hope you enjoyed this review!

Rina
