Man, it’s been a while since I last tried my hand at makeup, but today I decided, why not? So I dug out my old makeup bag and found this Maybelline foundation I used to love. The slogan “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline” popped into my head, and I thought, let’s see if this stuff still works its magic.
First, I prepped my face. I mean, you gotta start with a clean slate, right? I washed my face, slapped on some moisturizer, and let that sink in. Then I grabbed the Maybelline Fit Me powder. I just used my fingers to apply it. I dusted it all over, especially in my T-zone where I get a bit oily. This stuff is supposed to help soak up any excess oil, which is a lifesaver for keeping your makeup in place.
Applying the Foundation
Next up, the foundation. I squeezed a bit onto the back of my hand and used my fingers to dab it onto my face. I know, I know, some people swear by brushes or sponges, but I like using my fingers. It just feels more natural, you know? Plus, the warmth from your fingers helps the foundation melt into your skin. I started with my cheeks, then blended it out to my forehead, nose, and chin. I made sure to blend it well, especially around my jawline and hairline, so there were no harsh lines.
- Start with a small amount.
- Blend it well.
- Check for any missed spots.
Setting the Makeup
After the foundation, I set everything with Maybelline’s Lasting Fix setting spray. I closed my eyes and gave my face a good spritz. This stuff is supposed to lock everything in place. And honestly, I think it did a pretty good job. My makeup stayed put all day, even through a bit of sweat.
The Verdict
So, yeah, that’s how my little makeup experiment went. It was fun to play around with makeup again, and Maybelline definitely still holds up. I ended up with a pretty decent look, if I do say so myself. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a natural, everyday kind of look. But hey, it made me feel good, and that’s what matters, right? Maybe it’s Maybelline, or maybe I just got lucky. Either way, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
