Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

DOUBLE WEAR FOUNDATION REVIEW

This foundation has become my  holy grail foundation recently and I am totally and completely in love with it. This foundation is a full coverage foundation and when I say it lasts all day, I am not kidding! This does not get cakey at all and your face stays matte throughout the full day with this foundation.

I have normal-dry skin and I don't find this to be drying at all. I have received so many compliments whilst wearing this foundation as it gives you such a gorgeous yellow/flawless finish. I hate foundations that make you look ashy so this is perfect for me.

I have the shade 'Rattan' which is a yellow undertone and I think it is a great match for me. I am an NC25 in Mac foundations.

I recommend for everyone to try this foundation and even though it is a bit pricier than most foundations (£29.50) I definitely think you should always buy the best foundation you can as you don't want to breakout from using one that isn't right for you. This foundation will last you ages as you only need the tiniest bit for your full face so when you think about it, it's not pricey at all. Rather a very affordable investment.

Make Up Revolution - The Matte Effect Concealer


This concealer has definitely wormed it's way into my favourites this month. For just £1 it would be foolish if it wasn't in your collection! This concealer is thick without being cakey (perfect medium coverage), has a yellow undertone, does not crease under the eye and is easily blendable. It's a dream to use this product because it comes in stick form, you just need to swipe it under your eyes then blend it out. It's very smooth so it does not drag on the eyes at all. Cheaper concealers are usually very thick in a bad way meaning they are not smooth at all which is terrible for the delicate eye area.

There are several shades to choose from and I have the one in 'Light Medium' which is a lovely yellow based concealer. I have recommended this to all my friends and I have replaced my studio finish concealer by MAC with this.

Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer Review

If you are looking for the perfect shimmery bronzer that will leave you looking like a sunkissed goddess then look no further! I have found the perfect one for you.

The MUR bronzer is absolutely wonderful. The pigmentation is so intense and you only need to very gently dab your brush onto the product and you will receive immense colour pay off.  I have been using this instead of blush recently and can definitely say I am totally loving it. Sometimes blush can look a bit "too much" when you have bright lips and winged liner but bronzer just completes the look. It also makes you look so healthy! I can wear this bronzer all day and do not have to touch it up which I like because usually my blush and lipstick is something I usually have to touch up. The shade I have is Rock On World which I believe is he darkest one. I chose this one as I felt this had the best pigmentation and the shimmer in it is just beautiful. When I first purchased this I could not stop switching it! This also looks amazing on the eye lids. If you wet a shadow brush then apply this on your lids it will literally look like metal on your eyelids! For such an affordable price you cannot afford to miss out on this.

This bronzer retails for £4 and can be purchased from Superdrug stores or online.
