Here is a fact: Finding the perfect foundation shade for your skin tone is hard! Many of us have spent hours in Sephora or Ulta testing all types of foundation on your hand looking for the perfect match.

But what is even worse than the long process of finding a foundation is not being able to find a matching shade in a foundation that you really want to try because the shade range for the product is super small. Humans come in all different sizes, shapes, and colors. They are all beautiful and it is about time that brands start recognizing this.

Lately, brands have been taking steps to be more inclusive by broadening their shade ranges when making makeup products. While nothing can ever be 100% perfect hopefully one of these brands has a shade for you.

1. NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation has 33 different shades. It is said to last 16 hours and has a natural, radiant finish.

2. Fenty Beauty PRO FILT'R Foundation

Rihanna's makeup line, Fenty Beauty, launched last year and it instantly became a best seller. Her PRO FILT'R foundation is described as a long-wearing soft matte. The foundation line comes in 40 different shades which is truly amazing! To find your truest shade make sure you give the foundation some time to dry down when testing the different shades out.

3. Marc Jacobs Shameless Foundation

The Marc Jacobs Shameless Foundation has 29 different shades. The foundation is supposed to give a youthful look, has 24-hour long wear, and flashback free SPF-25.

4. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation has 35 foundation shades. They recently released nine new shades to expand their shade range. To accomplish this, the brand partnered with YouTuber and beauty influencer, Jackie Aina.

5. Cover FX

Cover FX has a great shade range in all the four lines of foundation that they produce and sell. The foundations are the Power Play Foundation, the Natural Finish Foundation, the Pressed Mineral Foundation, and the Total Cover Cream Foundation. Each of these come in 40 different shades!

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.
