Black Opal True Color Stick Foundation

Black Opal is one of my favorite drug store cosmetic lines.  

I was on the hunt for the perfect foundation shade, because I have the HARDEST time locating a foundation that matches my complexion.  It's either too green, or too orange. 

Not only has color matching been an issue for me, but also blemishes, and acne scaring.  At the young age of 31, I'm still fighting the good fight against one of the most hated foes, acne.  Coverage is also important to me as well when picking a foundation.

I heard so much about Black Opal's True Color Stick Foundation through the wonderful world of Instagram and my Instagram friends.  I found a awesome Makeup Artist on Instagram name Nicky Posley @nickygerome on Instagram.

Nicky used Black Opal's True Color Stick Foundation on a model and I fell in LOVE with it!

I headed out to my local drug store and picked up the stick for $9.50  in the color "Truly Topaz" and it was too light for my complexion.  I returned it for "Bronzed Beauty" and that was too dark, but I decided I would keep it and mix it with my MAC "Matchmasters Foundation" and low and behold, I found a winner!!

This product is Ah-Mazing!  It gave me great coverage and a flawless finish. All of my blemishes and acne scaring were concealed perfectly.  The True Color Foundation Stick has a creamy finish, and doesn't make my skin feel heavy.

I believe that my shade that I would need form Black Opal is "NUTMEG"  I have looked high and low, literally, with no avail.  It is available online, but it's nothing like not having to wait to get a product, but this combo is perfect so I'll stick with this until otherwise. 

I continued on with my full face routine concealing my under eye area, then conturing and highlight areas of my face.  

After that I added lashes, eyeliner, and lipstick (MAC's Seductive Intent) and I was done!  Overall I give Black Opal's True Color Stick Foundation and A.  Would've been an A+ if I could've found my exact shade, but I'm hopeful that I'll find my shade, and if it not I'll continue mixing and matching, lol!
