I think it is safe to say I LOVE MAKEUP! If you have seen my Instagram page @adriennroyale I am sure you agree with me! My favorite products to buy are blush and lipsticks without a doubt, but what are my FAVORITE products to actually use and go through the most? Number one would be foundation! I am always on the search for a great foundation because you need a good base on your face to look flawless!

You can have beautiful eyebrows (we all know how this is the craze right now!), eye shadow and lipstick but if your skin doesn’t look smooth and without great coverage your look is not going to be fully put together!

I had the pleasure of being contacted by Edith from www.WeMakeBeauty.com which is an e-commerce shop offering a large selection of luxury beauty products at great prices! She let me pick out an item from their website and I chose the Christian Dior Diorskin Star Studio Foundation in 020 Light Beige 1oz. This was a hard choice considering they have so many different products to choose from!

Let me start off by saying this foundation is amazing! I have been using it every day since I have gotten it; this is a medium to full coverage foundation. I like to do two layers so it is a full coverage foundation for me. The first thing I noticed about this foundation is the smell, it has a strong perfume fragrance which doesn’t turn me off but if you are sensitive to smell you might want to keep that in mind. It is nothing that lasts throughout the day. You smell it when you first put it on but it fades right away.

Dior Skin left my skin looking even which is what I adore the most! All of my dark circles, redness and spots I have on my face were not even detectable! The foundation is a more of a satin finish. It left no oily residue and looked absolutely beautiful alone or with a setting powder!

My face did not look cakey at all and it lasted about 10 hours with no creasing! I did notice around my nose area a little bit of redness showing through after about 6 hours of wear. The formula is not thick nor is it runny which is a nice happy medium. I love the packaging and the easy to use pump helps disperse out the right amount of product. A couple of pumps all over your face and you have beautiful skin! What is amazing is this foundation is SPF 30! You do not find that often with foundations!

Overall I am highly impressed with Dior Skin! This foundation retails for $50 but on We Make Beauty it is only $48.95.  You can see it here at  http://www.wemakebeauty.com/Christian-Dior-Diorskin-Star-Studio-Foundation-p/cd77885-020.htm and wait, it gets better! You can get 15% off with my coupon code Adrienne15! You can use it on anything on the site! The customer service was great and shipping was super fast!

Now that I told you about this amazing foundation, let me tell you how I apply it! Chase from Color Me asked if I would like to try out their Color Me Automatic Foundation applicator and I have seen it buzzing around social media and always thought what a cool invention it is!

This device is a foundation applicator that is automatic, you do not have to sit there and buff the foundation or powder into your skin, the device does all the hard work for you! Their website says- “Discover the secret to makeup that’s flawless in a flashTM.  With 250 sonic taps per second, Color Me allows women to tap on their foundation and powder just like the professionals do. The result: smooth, award-winning coverage that lasts all day”

This device is easy to use and even gets into all the hard to reach places like around your nose and eyes! So what exactly is it and how do I use it you may be asking?

Well, what I have been using is their kit which includes-

1 Applicator Device

1 Universal Coverage (Powder or Liquid) Sponge

1 Natural Coverage Sponge for Liquid Foundation

1 CR2032 Battery

Once, I got it all I did was pull out the little plastic piece to make sure the device worked and turned on which it did! YAY! I started with my face clean and primed and then I dotted a bit of my foundation all over my face and some on the sponge applicator (you can either apply your foundation right to the sponge or your face, it’s up to you.) I wanted to make sure for my first few times that the applicator sponge was “seasoned” with my foundation. After I dotted my foundation, all I did was press the button and the device started to work instantly. I started at my cheeks and gently did sweeping motions going outwards towards my forehead and jawline. My foundation went on so quickly and more evenly than with a beauty blender or brush! It blended my foundation seamlessly! Plus it was mess free and I didn’t have to use any other tools!

When I use brushes I will notice streaks but not with this tool! I do love my beauty blenders but some days I am so lazy and don’t want to wet it and if I use a dry beauty blender I feel like it just leaves me looking a little cakey and so much product gets soaked up in the sponge.

You can also use this device with powder but I have not tried that yet and think this will basically be used with just foundation for me. The sponges are latex-free and hypoallergenic (Suggested replacement every 7-10 uses for sensitive skin. Sponges last up to 30 days if patted with alcohol or an alcohol-based cleaner or wipe after every few uses. Do not soak.)

When I first saw this device I admit I thought it was pretty gimmicky but I am pleasantly surprised at how flawless it made my face look and how easy and quick the application was! Not to mention how smooth and even my makeup looked on my skin! I am hands down a beauty blender girl but this device is a game changer for me!

I found the Color Me Automatic Foundation applicator on their website http://www.colormebeauty.com/products/automatic-foundation-applicator-universal-starter-kit#tab4also I have seen it at Ulta.

For a flawless looking face the Dior Star from We Make Beauty and The Color Me device are my perfect pair! What is your secret to your face looking flawless?
