Favorite dewy foundations

Wednesday, 17 September 2014

Hi everyone! 

I have normal to dry skin and adore dewy or semi dewy finish foundations so I thought I'll blog about my favorite dewy foundations. 


1, Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation. This could possibly be my holy grail foundation. It's full coverage but feels light. Gives an amazing dewy finish without looking oily or shiny. Plus it has an amazing colour range to choose from. Great for pale skin like me. Only downside that it does transfer a lot if not blended right or not set with powder. 

2, Mac Studio Sculpt foundation. You know that product you use for a while then stop and completely forgot about it until one day you use it again and remember why you loved it so much? This is what happened to me! I used to wear this foundation all the time then didn't wear it for a year and only just got back to loving it again! It gives you a dewy finish but because it's so creamy you need to powder it or else its just going to slip off your face even if you have dry skin. 

3, L'oreal Lumi Magique foundation. This is one of the best dewy foundation you can get in drug stores. It gives you a medium to buildable coverage with a nice satin finish that makes your skin look so healthy. In fact the whole L'oreal Lumi Magique line is fantastic! I would totally recommend them! 

4, Nars Sheer Glow foundation. I'm 50/50 with this foundation. I think it depends on how you apply this foundation. If I apply it with the beauty blender I can get medium to full coverage, but apply with a brush you get sheer to medium coverage. Plus I feel it clings on dry patches around on your face. But then again apply it correctly it gives you such a satin finish, healthy glow for you. 


What are your favourite foundations? Any recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments!

Benefit Stay Flawless 15 Hour Primer - Review

Sunday, 1 September 2013

Hi everyone!
I bought Benefit's Stay Flawless 15 Hour Primer a couple of weeks ago so I thought I might review it!


I bought this just simple of it's ''15 hour stay'' because who doesn't want their makeup staying for 15 hours?! But I was disappointed with it. Which is odd since I LOVE their ''that gal'' primer. 



The packaging was nice. I don't really have nothing to stay about it really. The box looked fabulous! Anyway...



What Benefit says about the primer: 
'''Flawless works overtime! Our instant PRO-long primer acts like a magnet to lock on your foundation for 15 fresh & flawless hours. This invisible stick primer glides directly onto skin for optimal wear and a natural-looking finish. Go longer.''


The stick is a flesh toned but comes out invisible. For me I was a bit unsure on this because of bacteria. You apply the primer on your face like a glue stick. You ''glide it directly onto skin then immediately apply foundation and blend together.'' For me this felt exactly like a glue stick but less sticky. It was alright, it also felt wet. 
I then applied foundation. I used MAC Studio Fix Fluid and Nars Sheer Glow. Let me tell you, it did NOT last for 15 hours let alone 8. I have combination skin, more on the dry side than oily and this primer made my skin look oily! I never had oily skin so with all the dewy and products for dry skin I was hopeless. It ''melted'' my foundation and made it transfer to everything! A lot of people like this so maybe this product is toward the oily type rather than dry. 

Have you tired this primer? Let me know in the comments! Hope this review helped you on deciding buying this or not :)
