Something Girly

Since I posted something "manly" for my very first blog entry, I thought my next entry should a bit on the "girly" side. What could be girlier than make up?
  It's a big deal for me to find a foundation that I actually like because I HATE FOUNDATION. There, I said it. Almost every foundation I've ever tried feels great for about an hour or so, then it feels like I have about an inch of mud all over my face. I've wasted so much money trying to find one that I can actually tolerate all day or all night long. So far I've only found one foundation that I absolutely love and feel that I can't live without. Airflash by Dior has been my cosmetic godsend. It's an aerosol spray foundation that I literally apply in just seconds.


THE PROS-
1) It feels so lightweight that you'll forget you're even wearing foundation. This is a major plus for me!
2) Eventhough it's incredibly lightweight, it provides perfect coverage.
3) It provides a near flawless finish so very little concealer, powder, or color corrector are needed.
4) The coverage lasts a long time.
5) A little goes a long way, not much product is needed to achieve the coverage that is desired.
6) Application is very fast. It takes me about 10 seconds for a perfect, flawless finish.

THE CONS-
1) It's expensive!  It costs a lot more than most people are willing to pay for foundation ($60). I don't recommend it for every day wear.
2) It's messy at first until you fine tune your application technique, which doesn't take very long.
3) It's limited to only 5 shades. Finding the right color for your complection may not be possible with the limited color range.
4) It will cause any facial hairs to visibly stand up. This can very easily be fixed by lightly buffing with a large powder brush. If you're not aware of this in advance it can kind of freak you out, especially since there is no mention of this in the packaging.

In my opinion this product is well worth the price! I've gotten more compliments with this product than anything else that I've used.
