Get that Glow with Fiona Stiles Luminous Finish Foundation Concentrate
Foundation review time! Now I am a matte foundation girl at heart but when I saw the entire Fiona Stiles line on sale at Ulta, I had to give the Luminous Finish Foundation Concentrate ($7.50-$34.00) a shot; especially since it was only $7.50! I don’t know what’s going on with the Fiona Stiles makeup line but the brand seems to be…

Yipee! Today I have a foundation review and it’s one I have been trying to get my hands on for a long time!

Nars Soft Matte Concealer in Cafe: A Photo Tutorial and Review
I’ve been working with the Nars Soft Matte Concealer ($30.00) for a while now and I have some pretty positive thoughts on it! The name of the concealer is super accurate because it is very soft, and very matte, which I can appreciate as someone with pretty prominent eye bags. Check out this post on the swatches for dark skin, where…

Review: Fiona Stiles Light Illusion Perfecting & Brightening Stylo
The Fiona Stiles Light Illusion Perfecting & Brightening Stylo is a concealer pen that is supposed to brighten and luminize the face. It certainly channels the YSL Touche Eclat, does what it says it’s supposed to do, and is currently only $5.00 on Ulta.com. I purchased the shade Tan (9-10). Join me on this photo tutorial and review! Fiona Stiles…

Summertime Foundation Review: MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural Powder Dark
I must admit, until recently, I hadn’t worn powder foundation since I was 17 years old; the age I started experimenting with makeup. I bought Mac’s Mineralize SkinFinish Natural Powder while yearning for something lightweight but would still provide coverage. One thing Mac is wonderful at — a pioneer in — is providing a range of shades. I decided on…

I Gave Laura Mercier Translucent Powder in Medium Deep a Second Try …
It’s no secret that the Laura Mercier Translucent Powder ($38.00) is an industry must-have; many beauty gurus and makeup artists swear by it. Translucent powder has never been something I have been able to get excited about but when the brand came out with a shade for darker-toned ladies, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to try out the…

Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer (Shade 15) Review
Kevyn Aucoin’s Sensual Skin Enhancer ($48.00) was a total surprise for me. My local Sephora recently put a section of the brand’s products in its store and I went a-swatching. I was taken aback by the coverage and how little you needed to achieve a full-coverage face (and also how long it took me to discover this treasure). I was…

It Was Lust: Givenchy Prisme Libre Voile Audacieux Loose Powder Review
The first time I laid eyes on Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Loose Powder in Voile Audacieux ($54.00), I felt an overwhelming sense of infatuation. I loved everything about it, from its packaging — especially its packaging — to the different colors, to the idea of the powder itself. I was in love. Or so I thought I was…

Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation Review
The Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation ($28.00) seemed like it was a great choice for me. I still have acne-prone skin that happens to love salicylic acid… I thought this would be a great alternative to those days where I don’t want to wear a full-coverage foundation. The idea of this foundation got me excited about wearing “next to no” foundation. Plus, the color Clearly…

Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector – Melon
I have been holding on to this color corrector for quite some time. It kind of took the back-burner to the YSL Touch Elcat Neutralizer but I still use it from time to time. The Sephora Bright Future Color Corrector ($14.00) is a great alternative to the YSL corrector, if you’re on a budget.

The Best Concealer Ever: Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme
This post will be mostly graphic because photos speak louder than words sometimes. I went looking for a concealer that would cover up the awful hyperpigmentation as a result of a face mutiny and I was really curious about Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme ($32.00). I swatched the colors Chestnut and Treacle and ended up going with Chestnut as it…

Why I Love Make Up Forever Mat Velvet+ Foundation, Plus Bite Beauty …
I have been hollering about how great Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ Foundation is for years. Somehow, I haven’t reviewed it on my blog, which is mind-blowing. I used to have a YouTube video on it, but it was so outdated and not the best representation of its glory. No matter how many foundations I try, Mat Velvet+ will…
