Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup

          Hmmmmm, where should I start? Oh right, FOUNDATION. This word sounds so familiar and yet a bit foreign. I think I have heard the word foundation since a long time ago even before knowing what it was. If my memories were right, then the first time I became aware of the word was when I was looking through my mom's makeup box. Foundation is the tanish liquid that my mom uses every morning before heading to work. I didn't quite understood why she used it and what purpose did the foundation serve at the time. 

           Fast forward to 2011, I finally understan what foundation was as I tried it my myself. My sister got me a foundation set for Christmas because I told her I want some coverup to hide my acne scars. The foundation set is powder based because I have acne prone skin so liquid based foundations may make my skin more oily. I was really surprised on how different the foundation made me look (in terms of covering scars). From then on, I never stopped using that set until it ran out. After using the foundation set up, I'm left with a big question. What should I try next? As if it was fate, on my trip to Korea I tried BB cream. BB cream is the first liquid foundation that I have used (will have a post about BB experience later). Since BB cream, I tried different foundations, but none of them satisfied me. Most of those foundations either made my blackheads super obvious, coming off too fast or making my skin feel and look oily. I looked for YouTube beauty gurus to see if they had some good foundations to share. But in order to look like the beauty gurus, I realized that many steps are involved to achieve flawless looking skin. So, I completely stopped using foundation after almost two years of using it. I have been just doing my eyes and brows these past 6 months. 

             Today, my skin looked quite bad after not getting enough sleep in these past few days when I got up this morning. So, I decide to try foundation again since I do have some samples that I have yet to try. I picked up sample cliniques acne solution liquid makeup in hopes that it will help cover scars as well as not making my acne worst. This foundation looks like any other liquid foundation. However, it felt different when I put it on my face. The color of it matched my skin color well and my blackheads didn't seem so obvious. My skin didn't look oily nor did the foundation came off a lot after going to work, school and meeting. I think I found my match. I got pretty impressed and even thought about buying it in the near future. Just to let you know: I did use a primer before applying the foundation and finished my makeup by applying powder foundation. Recently, samples are rising in importance and I personally think that it is good to try something before buying because you never know if the item fits you or not.
