Even though I like to think of myself as youthful (hello, I like all things teenagery, a la The Hills and Us Weekly!), finding a scary white hair on my left eyebrow a few weeks ago gently reminded me of my age, EEK,Cheap Jerseys!
Now I’m on an anti-aging makeup kick,Korres Face Primer- All Hail the $10 Tube!,Coach Outlet Store, hence my new love affair with DuWop’s Foundation of Youth ($38),Coach Handbags Outlet Online, a liquid foundation I picked up on a recent trip to Sephora.
DuWop bills oil-free Foundation of Youth as an “anti-aging” product, one they claim will noticeably reduce the appearance of fine lines and help restore firmness to skin.
It comes in six shades, and the one I have is called Beige.
Unlike most foundations, it comes with an attached brush applicator. You squeeze the tube, which moistens the attached brush with foundation, and then sweep the brush over your face to distribute and blend.
Right off the bat I could see a difference in the texture of my skin. My pores looked smaller, and fine lines appeared softer.
You know how some foundations can actually appear to exaggerate imperfections in your skin as the day wears on? Not DuWop. It maintained a smooth, consistent texture even after a full day of wear.

This stuff feels weightless on my skin, and half the time I forget I’m wearing it at all. Coverage is sheer to medium, and Beige looks like it just melts into my skin. As if that weren’t enough, it photographs well and hasn’t broken me out so far (*crosses fingers*).
While great, it could have gone down in my personal makeup history book as fantastic had it been packaged differently and had it not come attached to that $38 price tag (ouch).
It’s a little less expensive than my beloved Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation (which runs $42 for a 1 oz. bottle), but it’s still ex-pen-sive.
And I wish I could trade the attached brush for a regular ole’ pump dispenser. I like the brush okay for distributing foundation, but it doesn’t blend very well and leaves a lot of streaks. I usually use my fingers to blend the product instead.
The squeeze tube doesn’t help,Skin Care on the Cheap- 5 Tips (and a Giveaway!), either, making it difficult to deposit the right the amount of product. If I’m not super careful with it (e.g. if I get squeeze happy),Cheap NFL Jerseys,coach factory outlet online, I end up with too much foundation on the brush head.
