I’ve been a fan of Make Up For Ever for as long as I’ve loved makeup. Today, I’m excited to share a new face powder I’ve purchased, Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Blurring Foundation Powder. I purchased the shade 520 – Cinnamon. I’ve been considering cutting back on liquid and cream foundations, mostly because of newly developed skin sensitivity…

What’s the first under-eye setting powder you have ever used? For me, and probably a lot of people, it was Ben Nye’s Banana Powder. Ben has gotten so much play because it turns out, it is really hard to duplicate what he has done. Hourglass’s Translucent Setting Powder is not a dupe, but it does set my concealer and highlight…

I initially thought the Becca Ultimate Coverage Longwear Concealer was a replacement for one of my favorite concealers, the brand’s Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme. While a lot of retail stores have discontinued that product, it is still on Becca’s website. So hopefully they will keep it on. This product is also great, especially for covering scars! Read on for a…

I always get excited when I see a new setting powder come out, more specifically one that’s brown. It seems like a no-brainer but I am not under the impression that they’ve been around very long. I still use translucent setting powders, Make Up For Ever’s is particularly good. But there’s nothing like seeing a brown one. Today, I’m talking…

Have you spent your life searching for a coverage foundation that controls your oily skin, doesn’t need to be set with any powder, and never needs blotting? Well, you’ve come to the right place because I have found it! The Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation first came into my life as a deluxe-sample from Nordstrom about six months ago.…

Way back when, when I picked up the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer, I kept seeing references and comparisons to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and my interest in it peaked even more. I had been meaning to pick it up for the longest, and finally one day I did. I went with the shade Hazelnut so that I may…

The Make Up For Ever Underpainting Color Correction Palette quickly caught my eye as soon as it came out. This palette was giving me Pro Sculpting Palette vibes but the sales rep in Sephora assured me that this one is different from that one which I have and really like. This one is more matte and is definitely for color-correcting.…
