Don’t tell my husband, but I have fallen in love again!!

Yes, it’s true. I just tried the new Selena Gomez, True Beauty, “True to Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation” and was blown away by it! I love to watch Hung Vanngo YouTube videos and when I saw he was doing a full face of Selena Gomez products using Selena as his model, I set time aside on my calendar to watch it.

As I watched the video, I became interested in giving this new product a try. Summer is coming to the Phoenix area and finding a great foundation is key to not looking like a hot mess. Here is the description on the Rare Beauty website that defines this foundation.

“A self-priming and self-setting foundation with buildable, medium to full coverage and a natural matte finish that brings out the best in your skin.”

This product is further defined as being “Sweat-, humidity-, and smudge-proof.”

I am almost 75 years old and as you might expect my skin shows the normal wear and tear of a life well lived. I am always looking for products that help me age gracefully and naturally. My skin is combo and leans towards the dry side.

With a shade range of 48 shades this is very inclusive and should make it easy for everyone to find a shade to match their needs. I purchased shade 9, light neutral, neutral peach. When I opened the package, I was very pleased. While the aesthetics of the bottle are nice, what really sets this apart from other brands is the inclusive design element for anyone with dexterity issues. The top button, which is used to pump the foundation out, is large enough to use 3 fingers should you need to. Additionally, there is a button on the back of the bottle allowing you to unlock the pump and to leave it locked when not in use. (If you have ever had a bottle of foundation in your luggage, purse etc., leak or blow up you can well appreciate the inclusion of this feature.)

I utilized ½ of a pump and this provided the perfect amount of coverage. I applied the foundation with my fingers and finished the application with my BK Beauty 101 Contoured Foundation brush. (Best brushes in the entire world, perhaps the galaxy!) This proved to be an excellent way to apply this product to my skin. I was thrilled at how effortless the product was to use and how beautiful it was to apply and how well it remained on the rest of the day. It did not settle in my fine lines, and it covered my dark spots very nicely. Every claim made, applied to my use of the product. When I came out for breakfast my husband complimented me on how beautiful my skin looked. (Love that man!) As the day wore on, the foundation looked refreshed and renewed despite no touchups. Additionally, it did not feel like I had foundation on at all! And the longer I wore the product the better it seem to look! MAGIC!

The other products I used to finish my routine played very nicely with this new keeper of a foundation. Overall, I LOVE this foundation and would encourage anyone to use this. Age is not a barrier nor is dry skin. I’m anxious to try more products soon!
