AllAboutBeauty: Make Up Forever Mat Velvet + foundation – a little goes a long way! highly recommend for the spotlight or camera ready people

The Mat Velvet + foundation conceals skin imperfections, evens out the complexion and matifies with a non-oily powdery finish. The result is flawless and lasts for hours long. Its smooth, fluid texture is very stable, water-resistant and long-lasting. While it has a good coverage, it is also easy to apply. The end result can be fitted to your needs. Applied lightly, Mat Velvet + provides a natural, matte look to the complexion. Using several layers to help conceal blemishes creates a supple and elastic velvety finish. This new oil-free and non comedogenic formula is suited to sensitive skins.

 

The benefit about this foundation is that I can highly recommend for the spotlight or camera ready people. This appears flawless and has an airbrush effect on photos and it doesn’t wash out it’s own color when reflected to bright lights. You need just a small pea size amount to give the facial area a good coverage and another for full coverage. The quality of this makeup is superb especially because it has been engineered by Dany Sanz, a french makeup artist herself and actually uses this on her clients. Again, although this foundation provides full coverage, the end result is completely adjustable to fit your needs – a little goes a long way.

AllAboutBeauty: Revlon PhotoReady Liquid Foundation – get that youthful and healthy glow

Looking for that dewy glow? This lightweight, non-greasy foundation by Revlon goes on smooth to hide your imperfections. It has light coverage, but is buildable for a more full coverage. it contains sunscreen as well. This foundation has  a great price especially for the quality and being a HD foundation too. Is has a lighter feeling on the skin and has a shiny glow to it for a healthy looking complexion (which is great for everyday use, but NOT for photography ). Does not appear orange or cakey and no smell at all.  Has excellent coverage BUT not that long lasting and its a light – medium coverage. it is convenient because it has a pump for easy application!

This one doesn’t have a matte finish i dont suggest this product for those people with oily skin because it will make u oily and shine even more! i dont suggest this one as well for photography because it will make your face looked so fair and done! as mentioned, this is perfect for everyday use because it will brighten up your face most especially when the sun/ room light hits your face.

I really do love this foundation in that it has amazing coverage without feeling heavy on the skin.  The shine in the Photo Ready is great if you want that youthful, healthy glow but… it does not photograph well!  I do feel that this foundation was similar to Makeup Forever’s HD foundation without the expensive price tag- it has all the great qualities of the “high end” foundations that cost considerably more.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation – One of the BEST Ever!

M.A.C’s Studio Fix Fluid with SPF 15 is all you need. Studio Fix Fluid is undoubtedly one of my Holy Grail foundations and one I keep returning to time and time again. This one of the BEST and i wear it almost everyday and use it on my clients too. It’s a foundation that gives you an even and a matte finish look. The fluid itself is lightweight despite providing great coverage and settles to give a very natural finish -almost too good to be true! It wears very well throughout the day, though sometimes flakes around my oily T-zone. The great thing about this because it contains UVA SPF 15 that is going to protect you from the harmful rays of the sun and this is also oil free so you don’t have to worry looking shinny at all.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC 35

 

MAC studio Fix Fluid is matte, has thicker coverage and VERY LONG WEARING! The shade selection in impressive and I find NC35 a perfect match for my skin and the yellow undertones also work well to counteract redness. All in all, a great product to provide flawless looking skin. The only downside that i see is the packaging. although it looks so classy and elegant, people who are not make u artist will find it a bit messy to dispense because it has no pump but i think in other countries they have a studio fix fluid with a pump.

 

TIP for MEN: Settle for NC 35 and Up because it will give you that  “manly” finish and dont forget to set it with a loose powder for a perfect flawless finish. your loose powder should be 1 or 2 shades lighter than your foundation.

 

Soon, i will feature the perfect way to get that perfect flawless finish skin 🙂

AllAboutBeauty: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Powder Makeup SPF 10

I absolutely love this powder foundation! It can be used as a powder or a light foundation. I cannot say how much I love this stuff. The texture is very soft and silky, not silky enough to be moisturizing but not dry enough to be 100% matte. this type of consistency is best for normal to oily skin i would guess (this product is oil free by the way). Im pretty happy with this product and done a great job of keeping my t-zone looking matte. i wear this over double wear liquid makeup and my skin looks really clear and matte all day

I don’t apply this with the included sponge. What I do is is use a powder foundation brush and i swirl it on all over the face and blend downward to the neck area. After i’m done with my swirling technique, Smoothing over my face with the sponge after first applying the powder with the brush makes all the difference.

The finish is definitely natural matte. It wears for a long time and you don’t really need to touch it up unless your bored or something. This product  it stays fresh and matte all day.
