Nude by Nature. I’ve whinged about it on makeup subs before but before I could afford REALLY good products I bought a whole haul of NBN stuff including foundation, eyeshadow, pressed powder, primer, bronzer, contour palette and concealer. I was so excited thinking I was going a step up from the typical drug store brands.

All of it (and I mean ALL of it) sucked. The foundation and powder were simultaneously too cakey and had terrible coverage. They were also so uneven. The eyeshadow was dark brown and I put like 5 layers on and could barely see colour (also, again, SO uneven). The contour turned a weird texture in its case and stopped applying properly. The whole haul was a disaster and I never used more than 30% of any of the products before giving up and throwing it all away.

Rimmel foundation has never worked for me, I tried it a few times in the years before I could afford Mac and it was never even and always very dry and cakey. Nothing I’ve tried from covergirl was any good.
