My White Foundation!

Hey fashionistas!
So you have probably read the title and closed the tab! If you are still here and brave enough to read on hopefully you won't be disappointed.



 I know white foundation isn't for everyone but I use it. Currently I am using the Stargazer white foundation but I'm not really happy with it.


 I got it off Amazon which  is where I usually buy my 'alternative' make-up. They stock Sugarpill/Manic Panic etc.


 The texture is that of a tin of really thick paint. It feels like a layer of concrete on my face. However the price was really good and I am sure that it would suit someone with dry skin.

 It does stay on and it is not that full on pigmented so I can control how pale my face is. Personally because of the texture it doesn't suit my skin but anyone with dry skin it would suit. I use it with the stargazer white powder. I think you can get them in a bundle which is cheaper than buying a seperate foundation/ powder.

  If you want to use white foundation and have dry skin Stargazer is for you. Now if you don't want to go full on pale than I have another use for White Foundation. If you bought a foundation and it works for you but it unfortunately is a shade or two too dark than the white foundation will lighten it up. You have to be careful but it does work if you can't change it or thy don't have it in your shade. This might not be an option for everyone but it does work for me!!

Another small thing about mixing Stargazer foundation with another skin coloured one is that it does look super patchy and clings to the peach fuzz around your skin. Manic Panic, I find, is better for that job also.

Anyways, if you actually read down to the end of this...Thank You!!
I'll be back again soon!!

NYX

Hey guys!


I was out shopping the other day and I picked up the NYX green concealer. I have never had a geen concealer before but I do suffer with mild acne so I guessed I might as well try it out.


 So far I'm really happy with it!

. This concealer covers the redness really well. I dab it on the area and blend it out using a beauty blender. I then dab normal concealer over it and then add foundation. I would only recommend this if you are going out or have someone important coming over as it is important to let your spots breath so they will go away without any hassle.


. As I like the 'pale face' look this also brings down my skin tone without me having to use my white foundation. If you don't want to look really pale just dab it on and use a skin coloured concealer over it. You would never guess that I have red patches on my skin while I'm wearing it!


 Now it is the first green concealer/primer that I have used but NYX is such a reliable brand. There are so many other bands out there with great green concealers. I have great reviews for the Kat Von D concealer which as far as I know comes in a palette.

New blog post again soon!

New foundation.

Hey fashionistas!
I haven't been on in months but I promise to get back into it! I have been on a mission to find the best foundation for me and I dare say I found it!

I am now using the Maybelline Fit me! Matte Poreless foundation in 110 Porcelain.


 It is my holy grail of foundations. I have really oily skin and this foundation stays on ALL day. I love the coverage and it is pale enough for me! never thought I would say that. It does give a Porcelain look to your skin so the title is fitting. I look like almost like a doll when wearing it and that is what i really like about it. I have received great compliments from loads of people and they always ask what foundation i use. Everyone is surprised when I say that it is Maybelline.


 I love this budget foundation better than my luxury one which does change but that is for another post.

 It comes in 24 shades. Ranging from very light to very dark so I do think there is a shade for everybody in this line.

I got mine from America and it cost seven dollars I don't know if they sell it outside of America and in my experience they don't sell thus exact line. I was a few towns over in the local Boots and they has a Maybelline counter so naturally I went to see. They had Fit Me foundations but in squeeze bottles and only in shades 105 and very dark ones so I picked 105 and brought it home. I put it on the next day expecting it to be a bit lighter than 110 in the glass bottle but alas it was oange. Now I am not talking about a dark brown. I mean as orange as the Blogger logo. So I think it is safe to say I will be sticking to getting it shipped from America.


. My favourite  makeup artist Stephanie Lange agrees with me. Funnily she made a video on the foundation about a month after I first tried it. I'll put the link down below for you guys to watch her impressions of this foundation.

 This foundation makes your pores disappear! It also covers any blemishes or beauty marks you may have. The texture is very smooth and it adapts to your skin. You also need so little of the foundation as a little goes a long way! I really don't have any problems with it apart from the fact it doesn't come with a pump.
Anyway that's all for today guys! I'll be back soon with another blog post soon!
