I realised I've been slacking a little bit recently on my blog. So I thought I would write a beauty product review, on TWO new Make-up products.
As usual they were really cheap, and I got both for £14. Both costing £7 each that is.
Both are by 'Maybelline New York' at the minute I seem to have a little bit of an obsession. My mascara, gel eyeliner, concealer and foundation are all Maybelline. But you get a fair amount of high quality product, at a small price. So there really is no complaining.
*Firstly I'd just like to do a small disclaimer - none of my products are sponsors, and I am not a make-up artist. Also just because it works well on my skin not everybody is going to have the same result, depending on Skin Type and so on.*
Both of these products are from the 'Super Stay Better Skin' range that Maybelline have just released. One is a foundation and one is a concealer. The foundation claims to 'Even skin tone instantly, and better looking skin in 3 weeks'. Their grammar mishap not mine! Well Maybelline we shall see! I've only been using the foundation for nearly two weeks, and although I've noticed a little bit of difference, I'm not sure if that is because I started using a different base or not.
But it does give you a lovely medium coverage, that's not too matte and not to dewy. Also the name claims that it is 'Super Stay' and I would say I can get a good 8hours wear out of this before I start too look like BeetleJuice! But it doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing a mask either like 'MAC Studio Fix' would. I like to be able to feel natural even if I'm not! It's also SPF20 and each bottle contains 30ml of product. I got mine in the shade 'Nude' as I'm a pale kid.. but they do a variety of light-dark shades. Can be purchased in most chemists, supermarkets and Boots. Target and Walmart sell this in America.
I thought I would leave the best til last, and the best is definitely definitely the concealer! This shit is like cement... but in a good way. When I first swatched this in my local Boots I was like ooer thats thick. But I loved the foundation so I wanted it's sister-concealer! But once it had warmed on the back of my hand and I blended it out I notice how flawless it looked afterward. I have tiny freckle on the back of my hand, and if a product conceals that,I will buy it. Finding a little freckle like this will help you from buying something that's too light or too heavy for your skin.
I got my concealer in the lightest shade they did as I find it gives a more highlighted look under the eyes, and that shade is 'LIGHT/CLAIR'. As a concealer this really does hold well, but for a little extra, I set it with a translucent powder on a Powder Brush to hold it into place.
TIP; Warm product on the back of your hand first, use your ring finger to apply the product and then use a small buffing brush to buff it out. Apply under your eyes, around your nose and on your chin. For a lovely illuminated look!
I hope you all enjoyed this blog, and if you've purchased this do tell me what you think! If you're looking for a new foundation or concealer but the staggering amount of products on sale in shops these days overwhelms you! I do very much recommend this.
Maybe it's maybelline.. bahbahbah. Any old person will remember that from the Advert.
