Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation Review

When I saw this new Maybelline Foundation advertised I instantly knew I had to try it. Like I've said before, I don't normally wear foundation because I don't like the feel of it and I've never found a foundation that is perfect for me. Hopefully, my opinion on foundation will have changed with this product.
The shade I have is shade 21 Nude Beige which unfortunately is a fraction too dark, and since reviewing this foundation I have finally found my perfectly matched shade, which is 10 Ivory. I feel like this colour would be great for during the summer when my skin gets slighter darker, which happens slowly in this country, but on holiday I have the shade 20 Cameo for my tanned skin which is slightly darker with a warmer undertone.
The applicator isn't like a normal foundation applicator. This is a tear-drop shape tip which is quite simple to use once you get the hang of it. To use this, simply shake the bottle well and drop the foundation onto your finger and apply to your face and blend out. I completely did the opposite and applied it on the back of my hand first, then used a foundation brush to dot onto my face, before blending with a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.
This is a watery consistency which is different to a lot of foundations. For me, this seems like a huge mess waiting to happen but I was surprised to see how fuss-free it was. There is a really nice amount of product on the wand and I dip the wand back into the foundation and transfer it to my hand about two or three times and I find this gives me the best amount of coverage for my face.
Using the MUA Pro Base Smooth, Set and Prime base, I easily applied this onto my face and blended it out. It honestly looks so flawless and I can't see any imperfections at all. This has really good coverage and can be easily built-up without it going cakey. It looks weightless like I'm not wearing any foundation which is something I have been searching for, for such a long time! I use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to buff into the skin which makes such a huge difference compared to using fingertips.
Overall, it looks absolutely flawless and I am so pleased with this foundation. I would highly recommend it. This retails for £8.99 in Superdrug or Boots.

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
