I've Always Hated Foundation, but This Tarte Formula Turned Me

On the second day, I was feeling much more confident in my application of the foundation following my Nars concealer. I used a Beautyblender initially, then buffed in the leftover foundation using an It Cosmetics brush, and winked at myself in the mirror. I applied my face from there as usual — a bit more concealer to cover my genetic (thanks, Dad) under-eye circles, bronzer powder, highlighter, brow gel, and mascara. I sprayed a million pounds of L'Oréal setting spray onto my face and went on my way.

On this day, I felt even more amazing. My boyfriend — who literally notices nothing — told me I looked particularly gorgeous . . . 10 hours after I'd initially applied my makeup.
