what foundation do you use? your skin seems flawless! I too live in Australia and since I'm a student I'm on a low-budget type of beauty maintenance. Any recommendations of cheap foundations that have worked well for you in our type of heat?

    Aww thank you, you're really sweet. Honestly, my skin isn't very flawless at all, it's just lucky that I can use tricky lighting techniques and make up to appear so :) A cheap foundation that I have found to work well in our humidity is Revlon Colorstay foundation (they have a great selection depending on your skin type). However, when it comes to base, quality is my main concern. I prefer to spend more on foundation than any other makeup product because the quality of the ingredients really matters when it comes to your skin. Some fantastic high-end foundations that stand the test of time, from my experience, are Estee Lauder Double Wear Light and Shu Uemura Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation (set with a light dusting of translucent powder). Both exceptional quality foundations that really smooth out my complexion.

    I'm working on starting a new blog this year which will cover a lot more beauty/makeup related topics as I completed a makeup course late last year. Stay tuned at fairydah.blogspot.com to hear of any news...

    Thank you for your question! :)
