In the morning, however, when I’m staring at my face in the mirror and wondering why on Earth I got stuck with pores that could double as ice cream bowls, it sure as shit feels like a real problem.

Make Up For Ever’s HD Foundation says that it will give you flawless skin both on and off camera. But is the $42 price tag really worth it? Okay, I’ll admit it, I’m a wanna-be beauty editor who is terrified of liquid foundation. Bad memories of clogged pores and ruined white t-shirts as a teen have scarred me a bit. When I got offered to try a Controversial Cult Fave, I knew I needed to face my fears and be a big girl.
