At a recent neighborhood party, my friend Sarah passed me the new NARS blush she was sure I hadn’t tried. “A bit dark for me,” I replied. Secure with my own shade of Deep Throat by the same brand.

I came of age in the Goth, heavy coverage, dual-finish powder era. Back in 1992, we didn’t know any better. These days, I prefer not to look like a pasty piece of chalk. Things have improved since the days of yore. Make Up For Ever has gotten the texture and coverage of their Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation ($36.00) down PERFECTLY!
