Anyway, I’ve been doing some digging (because obviously, I’m also tempted by this foundation situation), and here’s the lowdown on where you can actually *snag* some. Forget trekking to Venice (unless you *really* want an excuse for a trip, then by all means!).
First off, Nordstrom seems like a solid bet. They’re slinging Prada Makeup (foundation included, I’m assuming… hopefully!), and the big draw is the free shipping. Like, hello? Free shipping is my love language. Plus, and this is a HUGE plus, they do returns at any location. So if you totally botch the color match (which, let’s be real, we’ve *all* been there) you can just waltz in and return it. No drama. And in-store pickup? Could be handy if you’re impatient like me.
THEN there’s Sephora. Sephora’s always a good bet, right? They’re shouting about the “Reveal Skin-Optimizing Refillable Soft Matte Foundation” specifically. Refillable is kinda cool, less plastic floating around in the ocean, you know? Plus, Sephora’s got *everything*. So you’re probably gonna end up buying a bunch of other stuff you don’t need while you’re there. (I’m speaking from experience, obviously.)
Now, just plain ol’ “PRADA Makeup” website is also an option. The upside? Free shipping and samples! Yay! Who doesn’t love free samples? I mean, c’mon. The downside? Well, it’s probably going to be a bit more curated selection than the other places. Like, maybe they just have the foundation and a lipstick or two?
Honestly, my advice? Check ’em all out online first. Compare prices, see what shades they actually have in stock (because ain’t nothing worse than getting your heart set on a shade and then… sold out!). Read some reviews. And maybe, just maybe, if you’re feeling brave, try to get color matched in person somewhere. Online swatches are a gamble, I swear. My skin undertones change with the weather, it’s ridiculous!
