This concealer has been in my make-up bag for nearly two years. I still have the same tube. It occurred to me that this is a product I use almost every day and I have never mentioned it. How very dare I! The good Not oily or greasy Easy to work with Light but good coverage Smudge proof Sanitary.No...

Rosacea plagues so many women. It causes redness and swelling, usually on the face. It can be difficult to mask but here are some tips for concealing the affected area. Choose a yellow based concealer. Apply it to the red area only. Use your fingers to blend the outer part of the concealer into...

This is a screen shot from my latest YouTube video. I had quite a few comments and questions about my skin/foundation. Time to confess, it was a cheap  product I picked up in Boots. I got suckered into buying  Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation the other day whilst perusing the make-up isle. Man...

I have decided to review all of MAC’s foundations. I am often asked which product I recommend for different skin types etc. I will start with the lightest coverage, Face and Body Foundation. This foundation is water based, longer lasting than oil based products. It feels quite runny when you...

As you know, I am addicted to trying foundations. I am asked a lot about cheaper brands and affordable products so I am on a mission to find us the best one. I picked up Bourjois and 17 Even Better foundation in Boots a few weeks and decided to road test them for you and do a little comparison. Turns...

This weekend I decided to set myself a drugstore make-up challenge. I only allowed myself wear products that I bought in Boots, Superdrug and CVS. I wanted to keep it quite natural. Here is the look I settled on: and the look… No 17 Get Even Foundation in Natural Beauty...

I had a question from a reader which I decided to post since there are so many tan lovers out there. And the question: “I have blonde hair and fair skin but every foundation I wear on a night out always looks different compared to my tan in pictures what do I do? I see loads of girls with...

As you may already know, I am on a mission to find some affordable yet great products. Unfortunately that means I tend to waste a lot of money on rubbish. But occasionally, very occasionally, I come across something worth mentioning. One such product is Rimmel Silky Loose Face Powder.

This foundation is award winning; Allure Best of Beauty Editors’ Choice – Best Foundation – October 2009 and In Style Best Beauty Buy – Best Oil-Free Foundation – April 2009. I had to try it. Had to I tell you! Here’s what I think: The Good: Good Coverage Feels...

A product designed to make oily skin matte and dry skin moisturized?  I was skeptical the first time I picked up Lancome Adaptive. I was matched to shade 03. It came highly recommended by a friend who also had combination skin. I bought  it from my local McCabes Pharmacy, I received lots of Lancome...

I bought Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer UVA/UVB SPF15 over a year ago. I have quite a few questions about its quality. I don’t like this product at all. It is far too greasy for my normal/combination skin. When I bought it first I tested it’s effects after an 8 hour work day...

I know it’s strange to be talking about tinted moisturiser in the middle of Winter. It is traditionally a Summer product. However, I fancied a break from foundation today. I bought the Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer 6 months ago in a Stila set for $16 from www.beautycrunch.com. I was...

I have mentioned Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo many times. It’s great for oily skin, it had brilliant coverage and it doesn’t move. It’s expensive but worth it, I thought! I use this on a lot on clients with oily skin. It holds up well under studio lights and has...

Applying bronzer is quite a delicate matter on a normal let alone on your wedding day. Many people avoid it like the plague, terrified of looking like an oompa loompa. Whist some of us go to town and can end up looking a little OTT. Bronzer is an item I think you should consider for your big day.When...

I have a little Chanel and Clinique haul for you. I promised I would share what I bought so here is the video… What are you using for clearing breakouts right now?
