Currently listening to ladipoe ft Simi-know you. I have had a long and bitter experience with acne, and for each phase of my acne journey, I longed for a clear skin, although I'm not there yet, I wanted to share all my experience and how I'm curbing it now. I normally have breakouts now and again, but I never quite experienced a terrible one as I did when I went for my NYSC (NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS). Although I can't really say what attributed to the massive breakouts, I observed that when I started using Milk of magnesia (mom), as a primer for my makeup, the pH of my facial skin changed drastically, It started as tiny pimples and then humongous acne, at that time I felt I could cover it up with makeup, but boy was I wrong, I  was doing more harm to my skin.

 Choosing the right foundation can be tricky and if you're a perfectionist like me it can be a tad confusing, but the moment you discover the tips on getting the perfect shade right, foundation shopping becomes a thing of leisure. Find out how to find a perfect foundation from my little tips that I have to share. I have to state that I am no beauty guru, I just happen to do my fair share of research on makeup and what works best for me, so I'll be sharing a few tips on how I effectively choose the right foundation. image sourced from google SWATCH CORRECTLY; When purchasing a new foundation, avoid 'testing' it on the back of your palm because the skin on that area most times could be lighter or darker than the skin on your face and neck.
