Cheap but Excellent Foundation

Since we're on the topic of foundation, I have also found a product that can be used as foundation, which I covet more than my beloved Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream which I use as a foundation for everyday wear.

That is LA Girl HD Pro Concealer. Breathe.

As you know, I am a proponent of Makeup Forever (MUFE), which is a more expensive brand. But I love their HD liquid foundation. I believe there may be something in this "HD" (high-definition) thing. Because LA Girl HD Pro Concealer gives my skin life.

Oh, and it's only $2.99 at your local beauty supply store or beautyjoint.com.

I appreciate this concealer for it's beautiful application and that it beautifies my complexion as it brightens and smooths the tone. I like to save my MAC and MUFE products for special occasions or when I want to look my best, but I would use this concealer too when I want to look my best without using up my more expensive products. I love the look more than the amazing Maybelline product but only slightly less than MAC.

It's also extremely versatile. You can also use it for contouring because it has a thin applicator on its lid which makes application for contouring simple.

You can also use this concealer as foundation *and* contour at the same time by choosing your skin color, a highlighter color and a much darker color. Apply the skin color as foundation, then the darker color for contouring the cheeks and face, and then using the lighter color (highlighter) for the under eye, temple, nose, etc. With a setting and finishing powder added, you can make a beautiful full face application.

Alternatively, you could just use it as concealer. At which point, it's pretty much the only concealer I use.
