TOO FACED AMAZING FACE FOUNDATION REVIEW

Too Faced Amazing Face Oil Free Foundation $36 - Ulta

On a recent haul at Ulta (which I have yet to post), I purchased this foundation because my foundation collection has finally been depleted and I was reduced to mixing what was left of three different foundations just to get the right shade.  Sadly, as a makeup junkie I owned over 10 different foundations at one time and promised myself that I would use all of that up before buying more WHICH I have now officially done.  So when it came time to buy foundation I was at a loss because there I didn't know where to begin.

Upon arrival at my Ulta store, I immediately worked my way toward the Urban Decay section because I thought I would purchase the Urban Decay NAKED foundation.  But when I tested it on my hand, it wasn't the texture I was looking for.  Don't get me wrong, it's probably fantastic but based on the texture which was too thin and almost watery for me, I decided to move on.

My next stop was Tarte because I have a friend who uses the Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Full Coverage Foundation.  I tested this on my hand as well and it just was a weird texture and I didn't care for the coverage.  It was almost too thick for what I wanted.

Finally, I approached the Too Faced Section and I tried the Amazing Face foundation on my hand....LOVE.  It was creamy but not oily, the coverage was perfect and buildable, and it didn't have a fragrance which I HATE in a foundation.  My skin issues include: fine lines, aging skin, uneven color and texture, and oiliness.  Here are the claims from the Ulta website:

I've been using it for over a week now and I can honestly say these claims are accurate.  I am absolutely in LOVE with this foundation and it is well worth the $36 price tag.

I HIGHLY recommend that you always swatch shades and test formulas on your hand before you buy, but the cool think with Ulta is that they'll take it back if you absolutely hate it.
