Whilst in town with the ladies yesterday, I thought I'd take advantage and nab myself a sample of Cliniques new foundation. Beyond Perfecting foundation and concealer ! And boy, a little goes a long way. So this pot, will last me a fair few months ! The foundation is thick, but not heavy on the skin and sets well with just a little powder to finish it off.
I got the fairest of shades, Alabaster. It could have done with being a little lighter, but that's just me being a picky piggy. It blends well and covers most. I had a big ass spot on my forehead too. Nothing that a dense brush and a dabbing motion can't hide. Giving thst airbrushed no massive mountain spots on my face look.
For dryer skins moisturising is definitely a must, or a dewy finishing spray upon finishing. But for myself, a bloomin oil slick, it was fine. After a couple of hours wear no oil was obvious, although could have done with a little more powder to stop it sliding. Oil slick problems people, foundation just don't wanna stick.
I paired this with my usual brow kit from Topshop, smudgy black liner and a slick of Rollerlash on den lashes. Which ladies and gents, y'all gonna wanna try that ! See blog post here ! Oh and not forgetting to set it all with some of Lush's emotional brilliance powder, which is a dream.
Don't forget, most big brands offer samples, so always take advantge of that and don't waste those hard earned dollazzz.
Happy Sunday people ! Have you sampled anything fun recently ?
