Tweet I am obsessed with eyeshadow primers and I have many favourites – Lancome is pretty good, ELF’s is very affordable, Michael Todd’s is great if you want more coverage etc. When I saw this primer from Etude House’s range, Proof 10 (supposed to be water resistant/waterproof) I had to buy it! (I also have their mascara (meh) and cheek and lip tint (quite good!)). Proof 10′s primer is supposed to do the usual things an eyeshadow primer does – {Read More}
Tweet The art of Airbrushing so far, is a mystery to me. So at first I wasn’t sure what to make of this Airbase primer, from Airbase Airbrush Make Up, a range of silicone based spray make up for every day use. Air Brush make up is supposed to give a flawless, light finish that lasts all day. The Airbase Primer thankfully doesn’t require any special skillz… They say: Airbase Prime evens your skin to give the perfect base for {Read More}
Tweet I love primers! You know that? Oh okay. Well, the thing is I now have so many primers that I have different ones for different uses. Some illuminate, some hydrate, some mattify, some make things last longer. I can’t say I have one ultimate primer to be honest. YSL’s Matt Touch Oil Free Primer actually caught my eye a while ago because I saw a make up artist from Hong Kong recommend it. Humidity in those kind of tropical {Read More}
Tweet I actually have a bit of a sickness when it comes to eyeshadow primers. Don’t believe me? Check out my comparison guide, not to mention my recent reviews of Elf Primer, NYX, Coffret D’or , Benefit… The list goes on… The Michael Todd Eye Shadow base comes in Neutral, and has a sponge tipped applicator. They say: It is fast drying and forms a barrier between your skin and your eye shadow to prevent mid-day creasing. Promotes longer wear {Read More}
Tweet I think I’ve mentioned before that my relationship with Integrate is so-so. Some of the products are excellent, some are below average. I was rather pleased to try out the Integrate Powder Foundation and Primer (both purchased from Adambeauty.com – my favourite online make up store in the world). It’s nice to see a Japanese store dabble in mineral make up! I find it so interesting that mineral make up seems so popular in the US, but is not {Read More}
Tweet The problem I have with mineral make up is that most look a little crusty on me, because my skin has a tendency to be flaky. So OxfordJasmine recommended the ELF mineral booster to me to get a smoother finish: Mineral booster comes in three tones and two sizes; Sheer, Shimmer and Tinted, Small 0.17oz (4.82g) and Large 0.63oz (17.86g) (£3.50 and £5 respectively). Nice to have an option on the sizes quite frankly! It takes me forever to {Read More}
Tweet I did a little pre holiday MAC haul and decided to try out the Prep & Primer Face Protect because it’s a SPF 50, the Studio Select Concealer because it has SPF35 and good old Face & Body Foundation. So I’m not the biggest MAC lover in the world but I do like the presentation of everything; it’s simple and functional. I have actually tried Face & Body foundation before, but I didn’t like it…it was too sheer for {Read More}
Tweet Remember when Urban Decay Primer Potion was THE BOMB and nothing else would do? Then other brands released eyeshadow primers to rival UDPP and suddenly, whoops, you have 30 eyeshadow primers at home. Or is that just me? ELF have complicated matters further by making this extremely affordable £3 mineral eyeshadow primer. Now anyone can prime their eyelids regardless of what budget they are on! They say: This gentle and completely sheer Eyeshadow Primer has key vitamins A, C {Read More}
