I’ve never really liked foundation because I think that it is too fussy to use but I am slowly entering the age bracket where I may need to start wearing foundation.

So when the fabulous people at Marcelle (thank you Isabel!)  sent me  foundation to try and I was happy because I was able to try something new. I have a couple of foundation make up that I like but it is always nice to get out of the comfort zone and try new things.

So here’s the dish:

Marcelle Canada recently launched a new foundation under their New Age Anti Wrinkle + Firming line:

Some of the benefits are:

Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines  and crow’s feet.

Moisturizes + brightens  by evening out the skin tone.

Fades away minor skin imperfections

Light texture + oil free + light to medium coverage

Affordable —- $22.95 is the suggested retail price (keep reading for a discount!)

I really like the texture and the finishing effect because it looks natural. I think the purpose of make-up is to make it look as if one is not wearing make-up. That being said it is very important to find a perfect match (or close to) when choosing foundation.

Some tips to get the natural look:

Only apply foundation where it is needed. For me, I only apply it on my cheeks and chin (areas where I have some flaws) and then I finish the look with powder to even everything out.

For something super easy —mix foundation with moisturizer and ta da! You now have tinted foundation. Plus it is an easy 2-in-1 step if you find foundation a bit fussy (like me!).

If you would like to try the foundation, Marcelle is offering a discount coupon towards your purchase.
