Tweet Today is a guest review from my cousin, Faye, who is 18 years old. The product is Seventeen’s new foundation ‘On the Spot’ which is one of the first medicated make up bases available from the self selection market and is designed to improve the skin over a 4 week period. IN case you didn’t know, Seventeen is the rebranding of Boots 17 range (I didn’t actually realise this!) to a sleeker, more elegant look. The foundation launched in {Read More}
Tweet I have recently been doing a foundation audit and the amount of bases I have is RIDICULOUS. But I can’t help it…whilst I definitely have some loves (and they are nearly always the pricey ones) I don’t have one Holy Grail foundation that I prize over others because my skin changes, the season changes, my needs change. On this basis, I think it’s totally fair that these three Estee Lauder foundations have entered my life: Estee Lauder foundations are {Read More}
Tweet When it comes to feeling like you’ve had a luxurious make up treat, there’s nothing quite like a bit of Chanel to perk up the day. When I saw their newest powder, Les Beiges, fronted by Gisele, I squealed a bit because I love base products and the new nifty compact is oh so chic. I also took this opportunity to try their new Perfection Lumiere Long Wear Flawless Make Up Foundation. Perfection Lumiere Long Wear Flawless Fluid Sunscreen {Read More}
Tweet EX1 Cosmetics is a range of make up created by Farah Naz, who is British Asian, and wanted to create a range of products suitable for ‘exotic’ skintones after being frustrated at what the high street had to offer. The brand uses the term ‘exotic’, and by that, they are meaning Asian (which in the UK tends to refer to Indian and Pakistani races), Middle/Far-Eastern or Mediterranean complexions. We are talking about quite a specific colour group, from golden {Read More}
Tweet The Urban Decay ‘Naked’ franchise (if I can call it that) is getting bigger and more comprehensive year by year, and now they have created a lightweight foundation, the ‘Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid’ base. It comes in a very sleek looking tall bottle: There is 30ml of foundation in this bottle and it comes in 18 shades, which seems to cover very fair to dark skins. The number system with a point 5 indicates a rosy tone and the {Read More}
Tweet RMK’s recent addition to their brush line is the Foundation Brush. This almost stubby goat hair brush not dissimilar to Shu Uemura’s no 18 Foundation Brush. They say: This Foundation Brush is crafted carefully with best blend of natural hairs, calculated lengths volume texture and shaped tip to bring the best results of our foundation in just one stroke. It delivers your foundation on the skin even at angles and on detailed areas for the perfectly smooth finished surface. {Read More}
Tweet Laura Mercier, like Bobbi Brown, is one of those brands that to me has a seriously impressive range of base products (foundations, concealer, powder). Laura M’s tinted moisturisers and concealer palette are probably the most well known and I remember making an investment in the palette years and years ago (I never finished it, I actually lost it before I had the chance but it would’ve lasted FOR-EVER). Now – Laura Mercier has a normal tinted moisturiser, an oil {Read More}
Tweet I do tend to find new releases from Benefit pretty exciting (regardless of how the product ends up performing on me) because they’re a pretty creative and innovative beauty brand, who let’s face it, are copied a lot. I’ve been sitting on this Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation (well, not literally) for months! They say: Our new oil-free brightening liquid foundation builds from light to medium coverage for a natural complexion you can believe in. It’s you…just more luminous {Read More}
