I asked some of my beauty blogging friends for their favorite foundations, and you should have seen the huge response! I wasn’t surprised that they were opinionated about this topic, but the outpouring of responses was amazing! Today I’m sharing their favorite foundations, but in the next few weeks I’ll also post their favorite drugstore foundations and BB & CC Creams!
