There are so many foundations to choose from, but how do you know which foundation might be right for your skin? Here are 10 of my favorite foundations that you should definitely try! Please remember that everyone is beautiful without makeup and you shouldn't feel like you have to use makeup because everyone else is putting it on. Be original and be YOU!

1. L’Oreal Paris 24 Hour Infallible Total Cover

I SWEAR by this foundation. If you're a full coverage girl like me, then this is the foundation for you. It provides a gorgeous matte finish that will fix any imperfections that you may have. I haven't worn the foundation for a full 24 hours. However, I have worn the foundation on my face for over 12 hours and it stayed perfectly in place. This drug store foundation retails for only $11 but provides coverage similar to a high-end foundation. You will not be disappointed with this product. This foundation for me is a 10/10.

2. Urban Decay All Nighter

When this foundation first came out, it was all the rage. The All Nighter foundation provides full coverage with a matte finish. Be careful when picking your shade because the foundation does oxidize. You don't even need to wear powder with this foundation because it has a great finish. I would rate this product a 7/10.

3. Make Up For ever Ultra HD Stick Foundation

This foundation is also very popular. While I haven't tried this in liquid form, the stick foundation is great for me. It's so easy to apply and even easier to blend. This foundation provides a full coverage finish which will be perfect to wear for big events. I did notice that when I wore the foundation for a long period of time, the foundation would fade around my nose. This foundation also creases so make sure you put on a setting powder after. I would give this foundation a 7/10.

4. Maybelline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless

I bought this foundation before I traveled to India and this foundation did not disappoint me at all during my trip! If this foundation could withstand the heat in India then believe me when I say that this foundation can survive ANYTHING. It provides the perfect finish and works as an everyday foundation. It has buildable coverage but will look amazing once it's set with powder. I found that this foundation works better with a beauty blender rather than a brush! This foundation is a 9/10 for me.

5. Maybelline Fit Me! Dewy + Smooth

If you prefer a more dewy finish rather than a matte finish, then this foundation is for you. It has the same results as the Matte + Poreless foundation but provides a different finish. When you apply dewy foundations, be careful when you apply highlighter because you don't want your skin to look too oily especially when taking pictures. This foundation is a 7/10 for me because I prefer a more matte finish.

6. Loreal True Match Super Blendable

This was my first ever foundation and I loved it! This foundation is super affordable and works as an everyday foundation for people who prefer a medium coverage. I did find that this foundation provided a yellow finish but I still loved it nonetheless. It feels like you have nothing on your skin but looks beautiful in pictures! I would give this foundation a 7/10.

7. Revlon Colorstay

This was also one of the first foundations I used and applied great! This foundation does crease and becomes dry quickly so be sure to apply it quickly. I would recommend using this foundation when you don't have a long day as it can wear off quickly. For me, the color matched exactly and I loved it! I would give this foundation a 6/10.

8. Maybelline Fit Me! Matte + Poreless Powder

This powder works great as a finished powder or alone as a foundation. It also provides great coverage so you won't be disappointed! The foundation also comes with an applicator, but I used another makeup brush to apply it instead. I would give this product a 7/10.

9. NYX #NoFilter Powder

This is hands down one of my all-time favorite powders. It provides a great finish and covers any imperfections such as large pores and completely smoothes your skin for a flawless coverage. Sometimes I use this powder to cover any dark circles under my eyes and it works perfectly! This powder is full coverage so I usually use this powder for any big events. I would give this product a 9/10.

10. L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Fit Me! Liquid Glow

This foundation is similar to the 24 hours Infallible Total Cover Foundation but provides a more dewy finish. I'll use this foundation in the winter when my skin is dry and I want a little bit more moisture in my foundation. It also provides great coverage and stays put on the face all day. If you have more oily skin, I wouldn't use this foundation as it can make you look more oily because of the finish it provides. I would give this foundation a 9/10.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
