OMG she is! Especially at her price point. Small tidbit but her brand is the #1 selling make-up at walgreens.com LOL
Have you tried that Garnier BB cream that everyone raves about? Since it's a drugstore brand you could always take it back for a refund if you didn't like it.
Another brand I recently started back using, Becca. This is an Australian brand, but they have a great range for women of color with yellow, red and orange undertones. Very lightweight, but can provide more coverage if needed.
Their system is: apply the tinted moisturizer, then go over problem areas with concealer or stick and top with their skin perfector, brush light powder if needed.

Becca Cosmetics Luminous Skin Color - Nuba
Becca Cosmetics Stick Foundation SPF 30 - Fudge
Skin Perfector - Topaz
Love this thread
Here are my foundations atleast
MAC LIquid Studio Fix NC50
MAC Matchmaster Foundation 7.5
MUFE HD # 177
MUFE Matte Velvet # 70
(Drugstore for the Not so Diva days) L'oreal True Match N8 Cappuccino
Garnier comes in other shades, but IMO the range for women of color isn't that great.
I like IMAN cosmetics, too. She needs to jump on the BB cream train!
For a newbie ....where would I start (Iman Cosmetics)? Thanks ladies.
not sure of the coverage you're looking for, but she has stick and a cream to powder foundation. With a damn sponge, you can make them thinner if you need less coverage. I like her bronzers, too.
The line is available at Target and I think Walgreens.
Oh ladies, another line - Black Opal. Don't sleep on it! The stick foundation is a perfect dupe for my Bobbi Brown foundation at a fraction of the cost - $10.

Thanks DC ...I see it all the time at Target, but since I cant try it on, I always pass on store foundations. I really just need something quick, easy to add to my mascara and gloss routine. Baby steps
Side note ..I have purchased some cheapy lipsticks and glosses lately from like target, walgreens and CVS ..all which look horrible, and one even makes my lips tingle Do you ladies return to these stores? I mean they were cheap but it adds up, and they will ALL just sit unused in my bathroom
Man DC - what did a sponge do to you!
(j/k)
IMAN is also sold at Ulta.

*enabler post*I have yet to try their blushes but their eyeshadow palettes are the bizness
I do want to get my hands on a blush palette but lords knows I don't need no more blush. Sleek products are high quality for drugstore product.

Girl, what are you doing with your life?!
These blushes are much more vibrant IRL. I can't take a decent picture to save my life. :shame:
