Reasons to get your foundation professionally matched

//Little Pre-Post apology for not being around: I'm sorry, please forgive me! It's been a crazy few months but here I am!\\

I've always been a massive drugstore brand user, and have never really had a *problem*, per se, but when a friend suggested getting professionally matched for foundation, I thought it couldn't hurt, and that I'd actually learn a lot about my own skin that I don't (but should) know already.

We headed to P.A.M in London, a make-up shop primarily for make-up artists who are absolutely raved about for their colour matching. Going in with a full face of make-up knowing that all staff were professionally trained artists themselves, I thought I'd be a little daunted, but everyone was beyond lovely to us, and a sales assistant spent a good 40 minutes trying to find the ideal shade from the wide variety of 'Make Up Forever' colours in store.

I never thought there was an issue with the generic shade 01 drugstore brands I'd been using, and in all honesty there wasn't, but once I noticed how evenly the tone of the Ultra HD R230 blended into my jawline, I knew that I wouldn't be looking back, and my purse wasn't even wailing, as at £29.99 for a bottle, and with coverage that found me using only two pumps for a full face (and I MEAN a full face), I know this is going to last me quite a while.

This is definitely something I would recommend everyone do, as I really didn't notice how off my foundation was until I got a perfect match!
