Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Hey Guy’s,

I have been very excited to blog about this Foundation, I wanted to hold off for a couple of days when I got it just to make sure it sat on my skin correctly and did exactly what it said it will do on the bottle. Which it did :-)

I had been using the Lancôme Teint Miracle Foundation for quite a while, I had run out and wanted to try something new, I always think it is best to change foundations a couple of times a year.

I am very pleased to say that the Rimmel Foundation is a very very close match to the Lancôme one but without the hefty price tag. The only difference I can see is that the Rimmel one is a tiny bit thicker when it comes out of the pump, (but it is not thick on the skin). My skin looks flawless and healthy all day long. The brush in the image with the foundation is a F80 Flat Headed Kabuki brush made by Sigma, I apply this foundation with this brush and this really does help the product sink and buff into your skin. You can have good products but with the right tools you get an even better result. I use shade Soft Beige.

Benefits of Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation:

• Has small illuminating radiance particles in so it leaves your skin glowing all day
• You do not have to touch up all day as it sinks into your skin perfectly, and leaves a flawless pore less result.
• SPF 15
• Provides vitamin moisturising complex, I really like to have this in my products as I feel it keeps my skin hydrated all day.
• Eliminates signs of tiredness, thanks to the radiance pearls.
• You can build up the coverage to a full coverage if you wish. I like to have this option as some days I like more coverage than others. This means I do not need as much concealer.
• £8.99, but you can pick it up for £5.99 at the moment. A tad different to what I was paying which was £29.99 and I actually prefer this foundation. I love trying new products and seeing the difference and if there cheaper even better.

Rimmel Match Perfection Bronzer.

I wanted to add this into the blog as it matched the radiance theme I was aiming for; I wear this bronzer on top of my contouring product to give my face that extra glow. Great for adding a touch of colour to your skin. The brush in the image is a LG stipple brush from Applied Cosmetics; you can use this for foundation, bronzers and blushers. I only use this for foundation and bronzer palettes.

Thanks to the ladies that recommended this foundation to me, very very pleased with it. I would highly recommend this product if you like a glowy dewy finish to your skin.

Lancome Teint Mircale Bare Skin Perfector Foundation

                                                                                                                                                                                    Teint Miracle Natural Light Creator Bare Skin Foundation

We all struggle form time to time in finding the perfect foundation, how I see it is trying to shop for a decent pair of jeans, hummmm exactly, sometimes impossible isn’t it?

After years of sampling many many different foundations, cheap, expensive, full coverage, sheer coverage, bb creams plus many more I now have found my perfect match with Teint Miracle by Lancome.

I love a full coverage look but not so it is visible on the skin, as some full coverage foundations are really thick and I have found that throughout the day they can make your skin look cakey and greasy, which is a look I know we all try to avoid.

This amazing product by Lancôme gives a full coverage but it looks really natural and gives your skin a luminous effect as if light was coming from underneath the skin – GENIUS.  This really gives your skin that bare natural look.

This clever foundation projects light through the skin and the technology works to recreate and boost the skins natural light, in return giving you that fresh flawless luminous look. And because this product also has 10x less powdery fillers, the skin stays smoother and hydrated for up to 18hrs (wear for 12 hrs) and does not sit in the frown lines.

 

Teint Miracle comes in 18 shades so something to suit everyone,  and is priced at £27.00

Is Suitable for all skin types, oil and fragrance free, and a little goes a long long way.

A couple of my tips on matching the foundation to your skin so you get the perfect colour:

Check on the side of the neck or on the chest area (not on the back of the hand) the colour should disappear into the skin. The skin on the back of the hands is not the same as the face and neck area so from experience I always find that the colour does not appear to its true form on the hand.

Apply foundation with a sponge, brush or fingers. Personally I prefer to use a brush then dab a make up sponge across my face, just to blend it in even more.

Lancôme counters will match a colour to your skin and give you a sample to take home with you. The sample normally lasts for a week. What are you waiting for ladies get yourselves down to your nearest Lancôme counter.

I know I have found a foundation that will be sticking with me for a long long time.

Staying Power Blusher

Staying Power - Blusher

So we all like to look radiant and have a nice pop of colour on our cheeks. I have a little tip that will help blusher stay on longer and give a truer colour.

Apply a cream based blusher on top of your foundation, apply this to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards. Set this with a transculent or whichever coloured powder you use then apply a similar shade of powder blusher on top.

With the two different blushers combined this produces longer staying power and added colour. This I do on a daily basis and it definately makes a huge difference. A good cream based blusher is Max Factors Cream Blush £5.99.
