Victoria Jackson (@VJMakeup) #Foundation Duo



In the picture above, I am wearing Foundation Duo - "The No Make Up" Make-Up® in Tan and I must say that for someone who is a beginner when it comes to makeup, this was very easy to apply and came out looking really great!





The coverage is very good for me, as I have suffered from acne as a teen, as well as an adult. I also have uneven skin tone and this foundation gives me that balance that I need and it looks very natural while concealing the darkness and bags under my eyes!

























Like the title says, it is a duo, which makes it a great foundation that blends well and matches your complexion without adding a whole bunch of layers. I only added a little bit of blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner and a tiny bit of bronzer to top it off, as well as tinted lipgloss. The sponge applicator that comes with the duo has a very rich, velvety feel to it which makes the whole process of applying the foundation an AWESOME experience!!!








As a mom, this foundation is very convenient, since I am always kinda in rush mode when getting ready in the morning. This look only took me about 6 minutes to complete and my only wish is that I would have gotten the "Dark" foundation instead of the "Tan", but I am only a beginner when it comes to makeup so that was my mistake! A little bit of bronzer actually made the Tan foundation match better with my complexion, so I was happy that I had some on hand! Other than that, if you are a woman of color like myself, stick with the Dark color, blend accordingly and your face will turn out looking FLAWLESS!!!

Live for Love

FRM ME 2 U Boutique Holiday Mixer

 
 
 
I came across this Holiday Mixer and Canned Food drive this afternoon for a local boutique that just recently opened up just off Georgia Ave., not too far from the Georgia Ave. metro station. I'm always one who will do things for a good cause, so bring in some canned goods to help out the less fortunate this holiday season and in return, you'll get 10% off your purchase of this boutique's FABULOUS clothes and accessories! I actually walked past this boutique a couple of weeks ago while coming home from a kids birthday party and I must say that I love the 2 dresses that were on display in the window; very unique with a classic flair! I also took a look at the online shop and there are the most unique Chloe shoes that I've seen all year! Hope to see you there!
