What’s your ultimate holy grail foundation? Do you switch up your products often or do you stick to the ones you’ve used for years?
I have only tried the nude mineral powder. Its very good. Normally I use fenty but there’s no way for me to review on here
I’m glad NbN is on the list – that’s the one I’ve purchased repeatedly.
