This was a really nice base to use. It added a nice, healthy looking glow to my skin, with this luminosity being visable even beneath a low coverage foundation.
I really feel that this base helped my base apply in a way that looked more ‘put together.’
It also had a slightly tacky feeling to it, so I feel like my makeup will last longer.
I received a sample with purchase, but dependent on price I think that I will repurchase when I run out of this.

MAC Extra Dimension Skin Finish – Soft Frost
I bought the shade ‘Soft Frost’ and really enjoy the glow that it gives. Due to my pale skin it can be difficult to find highlighters that don’t leave a cast on my skin. Due to this I normally go for pretty subtly highlighters, which have a frosty finish. I love the way that this looks on me, and the amount of glow it gives
It also didn’t highlight my skin texture, which I really liked because it is something that I am extremely insecure about.
Overall I definitely recommend this as I feel that it will last forever, and I love the finish that it has.
Illamasqua Beyond Powder – Electric – 5/5
Bought this highlight on sale for £10, and I really enjoy it. It’s soft and applies smoothly, and doesn’t emphasize the texture on my skin.
It gives a lovely and natural highlight that isn’t too in your face, and I like the way that the pinky tone looks on me.
The packaging is also really cute, and the mirror is a very good size.
Overall I would recommend, especially if you can get it on a good deal.
The Ordinary Serum Foundation – 5/5
This is the best colour match I have found to my actual skin tone, but due to the coverage level I think I can afford to go up a shade without it looking orangy – feel like it would just make me look less ghost like!
I really enjoy this foundation. Normally foundation makes me look really, really dry and cakey, but I found that this gave me just enough coverage to cancel out redness without emphasising the moles on my face.
I definately think I will go a shade up, but I also definately recommend as it’s the only foundation I’ve tried they had helped me feel more confident as opposed to less.
Glossier Skin Tint – 5/5
Overall I think that this product is amazing if you are looking for that perfect ‘no makeup makeup look,’ but only if you already have pretty decent skin.
It is very lightweight, and I honestly think that you could get away with people not knowing that you were wearing makeup – I honestly couldn’t tell any difference without looking at the before and after pictures, and even then it wasn’t that dramatic a difference – I could still see some texture and redness, but it covered it up brilliantly.
I would recommend to somebody who is looking for that ‘me but better’ look.
One thing I will note is that this was tiny compared to what I was expecting, especially considering the finish. Overall I’m not sure if I would repurchase this product, but I am happy that I did, as I personally prefer low/medium coverage and would definately feel comfortable wearing this on a ‘good skin day’ – I marked it down by 1 star because I think that I would want just a little bit more coverage if my skin was having an ‘off day.’ If you do purchase this, please bare in mind that you won’t really get any coverage with this, it just makes your skin look healthier.
