Soft Bold Look

It's been awhile since I've posted on here. My baby Tigs died December 18th....
I've expanded my makeup selection since then to keep my mind occupied...
I'm thinking I'm getting a hang of blush placement, and elf's stippling brush helps so much. I think it works great with cream and powder blushes to give a nice even blending. I'm trying out Rimmel's Stay Matte foundation in 010 light porecelain.(It's really on the pink side, and it's actually too light for me.) So far, I don't like it. It is extrememly thick, creases, and excentuates my pores. I tried applying it with my fingers, brush, and a bb dupe. The bb dupe has given the best results. And not to use powder to set it...makes it cakey. I think you have to have exremely oily skin to make this look really good, because it clings to my dry patches badly. It does keep me pretty matte by the end of the day though. It's the only plus I can give it lol
