Get The Look: Sophia Bush


Wow- how good does Sophia's skin look? Dewey and glowy! She doesnt even need heavy eye makeup to top off her makeup look. THIS is proof of how much foundation matters! So basically she has on mascara, a pinch of bronzer on the cheeks, and a simple sheer gloss to complement her pout. The main thing is the foundation!
If you want to achieve Sophias look- the trick is finding YOUR perfect foundation.
Now, dont go off thinking that you need to use the foundation Sohphia used here-Because Sophias perfect foundation might not be your perfect foundation, you know? Everybodys skin is different.
Plain and simple. So what Im about to give you is HUGE. Im posting the top 10 foundations out there in the market right now. 8 will be high end foundations while 2 will be drugstore foundations. Why so little choices for  the drugstore? Well I have to admit- theres only 2 that I have found to be amazing from the drusgtore. I wouldnt want to give you others that give you no results. So pick and choose out  of the 10 you would like to try and I can guarantee you that one of these foundations will be your ideal one! Good luck!
And remember- the foundation is the canvas. A painter cannot paint correctly without a good base of canvas. Same goes for makeup. :}

  1. This really is something big. I haven't been able to find my perfect foundation yet. I have a request. Can you do a Carrie Underwood look? Thanks in advance!

  2. I know you didn't list any, but I was wondering what you think of Lancome's foundations? Particularly the Teint Idole and Photogenic Lumessence?

  3. Hi Mia,
    Lancome has some pretty good foundations out there as well. Im not too familiar with Teint Idole, but I have heard great things about Photogenic Lumessence. From what I know- it has great staying power. The only thing I would say is I wouldnt recommend it too much if your face is really oily since this foundation has a dewey type of finish. Otherwise, this could be a great foundation for you.
