Let's admit...At some point in our lives we bought the wrong high-end foundation shade that we spent a hefty price for. All the excitement in this new foundation went right out the window when we tried it on at home and it was either too light or too dark for our skin tones. We probably then convinced ourselves that we could make it work through colour correcting, highlighting, contouring or mixing in other foundations...But after the first week of trying, that new foundation took the back seat in our makeup collection, and we probably never touched it ever since...That being said, It's so important to learn your lesson and choose your shades wisely (I know this from experience). So I'm here to help you out by giving you my top 10 tips that I follow when it comes to purchasing new foundations.

BUT when I did - did this foundation stick to what it preached? Hmmmm...Well...
We all have to endure the pains of either dark marks, dark circles under our eyes, uneven skin tones and pigmentation. For me, I have an issue with uneven skin tone and pigmentation around my mouth area. Obviously we want to get rid of these issues and so I picked up the Eucerin Even Brighter Night Cream in hopes that it would help me with my skin. BUT - Did this product do the trick OR is it just another gimmick?
