Hi guys,

We all know I love luxury beauty but there are some drugstore brands out there that are killing the game! Maybelline has been one of my favourite drugstore brands for (literally) years now. I think I started wearing their makeup when I was 16/17 and I’m now 30! So today I thought I would share with you my 3 favourite face base products from the brand.

First off we are starting with my favourite product that is a combo of skincare and makeup, it's the Maybelline Super Stay up to 24H Skin Tint Foundation + Vitamin C, £12.99. If you like a natural, glowy looking foundation rather than a full coverage formula then this is your new best friend. Made with Vitamin C to brighten and treat your skin while you're wearing it , this foundation gives you a natural, weightless finish. I love wearing this tint on days when my skin doesn't need a lot of coverage and this formula is buildable so some days you can wear it natural and other days build up for a medium finish.

Next up we have the glow in a bottle, it's the Maybelline Instant Anti Age Perfector 4-In-1 Glow Primer, Concealer, Highlighter, £12.99. This is Maybelline's multi-use product, not only does it add glow to your complexion but it can be used as a primes, conceals, highlights, and evens skin tone. I love using when alternatively to my Hollywood Flawless Filter, sometimes I'll use under my eyes before foundation to brighten or all over my face to add coverage / prime. I haven't used it as a foundation yet but I've seen some people using it as their foundation which if you had dry skin I think could wear really well.

Lastly, if a glowy face base isn't your thing or you want more of a fuller coverage I think you'll prefer the Maybelline Superstay 30hr Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid 30ml, £10.99. Unlike the previous 2 products this foundation is our matte option for those oily combo people out there. Personally I love this formula because yes it is a full coverage, matte finish but it's made with hyaluronic acid so it's protecting your skin while being worn. Though I love a lot of matte formulas I personally use this one the most because it is also transfer-resistant, water-resistant and sweat-resistant so if you have a problem with your makeup moving, your safe!

So there we go, you don't need to spend lot's of money to get great products and if you're shopping for drugstore makeup I really recommend checking out Maybelline because their newer products are amazing!!! As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Lot's of love,

10 Tips on How To Choose Your Perfect Foundation Shade

Makeup has been every woman’s best friend, and for ages, there have been multiple options for application on the face. From natural pigments to carefully formulated cosmetic products, the makeup industry is growing each day with more and more refined quality. While there are several products like blush, highlighter, eyeshadow palette, etc., that you can buy without giving a thought to color, face foundation is one such product where you need to be careful of the shade you buy. Whether you do regular makeup or only on special occasions, having the right shade of face foundation is the starting point for getting the chiseled look. Beyond complexion, a foundation also helps enhance your natural features and adds a natural glow to your skin. Inappropriate shade often leads to makeup that looks cakey and patchy.

Choosing Right Foundation for Skin Get Flawless Finishing Touch of Makeup

Foundation makeup is a fundamental step in creating a flawless and radiant complexion. However, with a plethora of options available, finding the best foundation for face makeup can be overwhelming. In this article, we will guide you through the process of selecting the perfect foundation, including recommendations for the best full coverage and matte foundations, as well as options suitable for combination skin.

When searching for the best foundation, consider your skin type and desired coverage. If you're looking for a foundation that provides excellent coverage and conceals imperfections, opt for a full coverage foundation.

These foundations are formulated to even out skin tone and hide blemishes, giving you a flawless canvas. Look for long-wearing formulas that offer buildable coverage, allowing you to customize the level of coverage according to your needs.

For those with oily or combination skin, a matte foundation is an ideal choice. Matte foundations have oil-absorbing properties that help control shine and keep your skin looking fresh throughout the day. Look for foundations labeled as oil-free or mattifying, as they can help minimize excess oil production without clogging pores. Additionally, matte foundations often have a lightweight texture, which allows for comfortable wear without feeling heavy on the skin.

If you have combination skin, where some areas are oily while others are dry or normal, it's important to find a foundation that balances these different needs. Opt for a foundation specifically designed for combination skin.

These foundations provide hydration to dry areas while controlling oiliness in the T-zone. Look for formulas that offer a natural finish, as they will help even out your skin tone without accentuating dry patches or exacerbating oiliness.

To ensure a flawless finishing touch, it's crucial to find the right shade for your skin tone. Test foundation shades on your jawline or inner wrist to find a match that seamlessly blends with your natural complexion. Consider factors such as undertones (cool, warm, or neutral) to further refine your choice.

Lastly, don't forget to prep your skin before applying foundation. Cleanse, moisturize, and apply a primer to create a smooth canvas that helps your foundation adhere better and last longer.

Conclusion

Selecting the right foundation for your skin involves considering your skin type, desired coverage, and shade. Whether you need a full coverage foundation, a matte foundation for oily skin, or a formula suitable for combination skin, there are options available to cater to your needs. By choosing the right foundation and following a proper skincare routine, you can achieve a flawless finishing touch and enjoy a complexion that radiates confidence.

Hi guys,

I decided instead of buying new foundations this month I would revisit some of my favourites. I decided today I would share with you 2 of my favourite matte, full coverage foundations from my collection.

My first matte / full coverage foundation is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation. This has been my holy grail for a long time and one I recommend constantly to everyone who needs a long-wearing foundation. This foundation is a demi-matte , medium to full coverage formula that also has skincare benefits in its formula. Considering it’s a matte foundation it feels so comfortable to wear on your face, it doesn’t feel heavy. I find when I’m wearing matte foundations, if I wear a hydrating primer underneath my foundation wears better and it doesn’t cake my skin either.

My other favourite matte foundation is the Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation. This formula is a game changer for me because usually I wear more radiant, glowy formulas from Nars but when they brought out their matte formula I was so excited to try it out. This foundation has a total matte finish unlike the CT one which is a demi-matte finish. This formula is just as long wearing as the CT one but this one feels even lighter to wear which I really enjoy using in the summer months.

Both of these formulas have their benefits in terms of being matte, full coverage foundations, especially since I have oily combo skin and these types usually last longest on my face. Out of all my luxury foundations these 2 are by far my favourite to use and reach for constantly. If you like luxury brands and need a new foundation I really recommend checking these 2 out.

Lots of love

hot take: gustholomule was way better developed and had more chemistry than huntlow, despite not being a canon ship

its @wh0rehound 's birthday and since he is the gaymer to my mafia slut obvs i had to draw our boys 🍫💕🎮 everyone say hbd sam!!! 😤🎉🎂

I'm not sure if this was already asked, but if Jane had skipped town when she had planned to, would Matt ever forgive her? How would he react?

Ooooh, now this is an interesting question.

I definitely think there's a small part of him that never would have forgiven her for it, especially since he'd already had a few vulnerable moments with her where he'd opened up and she, seemingly, had opened up with him, too. But mostly, it would have simply... broken that part of him that felt hope, that felt that maybe, just maybe he deserved to have someone care about him, or even love him one day, because he'd have read her letter - the kinder one, the gentler one, the one that said without saying, 'I could see myself loving you if I stayed.'

Ironically, despite her intentions - that she leave him a kinder letter, one that was honest and told him how much she cared for him - reading that letter after dhe left would have broken an entirely different part of him.

The loss of her, the idea that he'd been left alone again by someone who might have loved him, would have been all the proof he needed that he was a fuckup, that everyone in his life that he cared about was destined to leave him. He'd spiral, spiral right down into the decision that all he could do was leave them first before he hurt them so bad or put them in so much danger that they left him behind and, subconsciously, before they hurt him like the loss of his parents had, like Stick and Elektra and now Jane had by walking away. He'd retreat in on himself, curling up tight around that hurt and hiding behind the ferocity, darkness, and rage of the Devil because that seemed like the only way he could protect himself from being abandoned again when he wanted so, so desperately to have just ONE person who might... love him. It would have been a ticket to the S3 mindset basically, but because Karen and Foggy at that point didn't know about Daredevil, and because he hadn't met Maggie yet, no one really would have been in a decent position to help drag him up out of that spiral.

And Stick knew that, which is exactly why he tried to talk Jane into leaving, and why he gave her that letter to ensure she truly broke the more gentle, tender part of Matt. He knew this would push Matt into the mindset Stick wanted: that Matt was meant to be alone, that there was nothing for him but his 'duty', and there was certainly no room for friends, for lovers, or family.

One day it's possible he would have pulled himself out of it, and by then he likely would have forgiven her - either because he recognized she ran for fear of Cyrus, or because he simply blamed himself instead of her - but either way, if that domino had tipped, a part of him never really would have recovered or felt safe reaching for that kind of gentle connection again.
