This award-winning foundation is amazing for dry skin. I love the coverage it gives. It leaves a not so heavy look, very hydrating, and stays on all day. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is one of the best oil-free foundations for dry skin. Try this foundation if you are open to investing a little more on your makeup. It is definitely worth every penny.

NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

This NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation is another favourite of mine. I love everything NARS, so I am not surprised this foundation is on my makeup radar. It provides buildable coverage and a radiant finish, which is great for anyone dealing with dry skin. This foundation is also long lasting, and a little goes a long way.

This foundation is suitable for dry and combination skin. It is light-weight, hydrating, provides excellent coverage, and improves the complexion overtime. If you are looking to try a more luxurious foundation, you can start with Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation. The reviews online are amazing, so definietly worth exploring.

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation

This foundatioon by Fenty Beauty creates a soft matte finish, with a buidabe coverage. It is a lightweight, oil-free formalae that hides pores and controls shine. The foundation comes in a variety of shades (50 available shades at the time of publishing), so there should be a shade for everyone.

How to get your makeup to last all day part 1

Makeup is like magic to me. The right makeup products have the power to transform everyone. Which is why I like to pay special attention to my makeup products. I am lucky to get opportunities to review many products each month. Some products are better than others, and I always make sure I get the amazing products again once I run out.

I have had the privilege to use all sorts of makeup and I know the importance of using the right makeup. Many of us want our makeup to stay put all day. I remember growing up, that was one of the issues I had. I would apply makeup before leaving the house, and it would be wiped off within a few hours. So I know all about how frustrating it can be when your makeup seems to just vanish off your face.

How to get your makeup to last all day

So how do you get your makeup to last all day? Here are some tips that you may find useful –

 

Care for the skin underneath

Having a good skincare routine is the first step to helping your makeup stay on for longer. You should ensure you are using the right skincare products. Ensure you use the right cleansers, makeup remover, moisturisers and face creams. I like to spoil myself with a face mask every week. It does wonders for my skin. For moisturisers, I currently use Bio Oil and No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Day Cream SPF 15 50ml.

Also, make sure you take your makeup off before you go to sleep and treat your skin right from within by eating and drinking right. Once your skin is smooth and supple, your makeup tends to stay on for longer.  I currently use AVON True Nutra Effects Gentle Bi-Phase Eye Make-up Remover, and it wipes every trace of my makeup off. 

 

Use a primer first

Now this is a very important tip. You should apply a primer first before you apply your foundation. I always use a primer first if I know I am going to be out all day and I need my makeup staying on.

I currently use Dermalogica Hydrablur Primer and it is so amazing. It keeps my makeup on for more than 12 hours.

Quality Foundation and Concealer

I like to spend a bit more when it comes to my foundation and concealer because I believe the more I spend, the better the quality. I have all sorts of foundation and concealer products in my makeup storage box, but I always recommend Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation. It is super long lasting, stays on all day. This foundation is definitely number 1 in the makeup market.

When it comes to concealers, I prefer MAC Pro Longwear Concealer. It conceals all that needs concealing and it stays on all day. Love it.

Face Powder that works

Once my primer, foundation and concealer (in that order) have been applied and blended in, the next stage is applying the face powder. I go for quality here as well, and I like my MAC. The Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation by MAC works great for me. It stays on all day and I hardly ever need to top up except for my t section.

The Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In Place Powder Makeup SPF10 is another favourite of mine. It works great with the foundation and leaves my face looking stunning all day. It just glides on and stays on.

I will be writing a follow up with recommending more great makeup products –  eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, eye liners and more. So look out for that post in the next few days.

Product Review – NYX Blotting Paper & Makeup Brush Cleaner

June 14, 2018 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , 22 Comments

Summer is here and I am loving the long sunny days. A new season usually means new beauty products. It is also a great time to get some stunning photos taken. I found some great Photobox Discount Codes and Vouchers and I am eager to get some personalised Photo Packs in time for Father’s Day this Sunday. Click here for more information.

The warm weather also means I need my blotting paper more than ever!  So I have quickly placed an order for NYX Fresh Face Blotting Paper, after running out of my old pack some days ago. I also decided to grab the NYX Makeup Brush Cleaner since my makeup brushes were in need of a deep clean.
