Favorite Dupe Friday!

If you wear makeup, foundation is probably one of the more important items to you, as it is for me! As it should be, foundation is extremely important to flawless finish. It evens skin tones and 

There are hundreds of brands and thousands of shades! The key is to find one that matches your skin tone, stick to it and fall in love! This can be difficult for a beginner but with the right guidance and assistance, you'll find just the right one. 

Over the years, I have ran through all types of brands and shades depending on what time of the year it is. I am just about over the top obsessed with all Smashbox products so their foundation is my first go to. Their particular foundation, Studio Skin gives great coverage for my uneven skin tone and can be applied 2-3 for an even better coverage without the " Cake effect ", which I love! It has a 15 hour wear and leaves your face looking refreshed and feeling as though you have no makeup on at all. On the downside, this foundation is priced at $45 and can be found at a local Sephora or Ulta.


Everyday wear of this one-ounce foundation can hurt your pockets, thankfully I have found a much less costly alternative. 

In comparison to Studio Skin, Maybelline has a line by the name of "fit me", which has hundreds of combinations for all skin tones. It has the option between a matte finish or a Dewy finish which is a plus if you have dry or oily skin. It gives a really good coverage once applied for 2-3 layers and stays on for a few extra hours compared to other drugstore foundations. Maybelline’s Fit Me is a great foundation to use for an everyday wear and it is also a great idea if you'd like to just alternate and save your prestige brands. Absolutely love this drugstore foundation for many reasons, not only because you can find it for less than $6 but that it a huge plus, right? If you are interested in trying this dupe, you can find it at Walmart for the lowest price or if you have any drugstore favorites of your own, drop them below!
