COLOR MATCHED: Is There a Foundation Shade for You?

Posted by JacquelineLaurean in Beauty Addict and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A topic that isn’t obsolete, but often swept under the rug!  Women of color, sometimes run into trouble trying to find the perfect foundation shade.  This really perplexes me, and raises the question of whether or not some beauty brands are “doing their homework,” before releasing new products? 

Nevertheless, there are a few brands out there that have collected “the right research,” and have produced  foundations shades that work FOR ALL WOMEN!  The brands listed below, got it right!

The beauty looks put together for the models to wear at the Cushnie Et Ochs Show were fresh, subtle, and classic.  Inspired by Native American culture, MAC makeup artists went for  soft makeup shades.  The hair stylists added simple feathered hair accessories, and very neatly pulled back buns. I believe the complete look represented “peace and serenity.” The nails were out of this world!  Celebrity Nail Technician, Pattie Yankee, of Dashing Diva Nail Salon put together a beaded nail look which was called the “Caviar” nail.  The beads that were placed on top of the polish are actually from the Cushnie Et Ochs collection.  This was a very unique idea as it complimented the sexy yet classy collection.
