2017 favorite foundations

1/23/2018

#1-GIVENCHY..MATISSIME FOUNDATION Givenchy’s Matissime Velvet has reinvented what it means to wear matte, focusing on keeping the complexion balanced and comfortable. This balance is achieved thanks to dual-mattifying technology, which harnesses the power of silica microspheres, composed of multiple micro-canals that improve sebum and moisture absorption while allowing skin to breathe. The second phase contains a botanical trio that acts on sebum in a targeted manner, helping skin to regain and maintain its balance, without drying out the complexion.

Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear gives absolutely flawless coverage. Yes, you can tell you're wearing makeup, but skin looks incredibly perfected. It's not actually a look I go for much to be honest - I know lots of people do want that completely flawless base - and in general I like a light, dewy base that you can see the complexion through. But I was very impressed at the ease in which this delivers a perfect-looking finish. It's quite remarkable really.

By Terry Light Expert Brush Click contains correcting light prisms, camouflage micro-pigments and mineral powders. These combine to perfect skin tone, disguise pores, conceal blemishes and banish any shades of red, yellow or grey.The overall effect is fresh, healthy and radiant skin that doesn’t look in the least bit made up. I’d say the foundation is close to being of medium coverage which is surprising considering how light in texture it is. I suppose the finish is best described as being satin-like but more than anything it just looks natural. It also feels incredibly light and non-drying on the skin.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 This foundation is an oil-controlling formula, and it offers a matte-finish with medium to full coverage. It also comes with broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15/PA++ protection and helps you minimize the appearance of pores and imperfection giving you a smoother, more flawless finish The foundation stays intact all day which i like. No oiliness at all, just natural matte skin. If you have oily skin with blemishes and spots, this foundation will make you look flawless having normal to dry skin type! I can finally look and feel fabulous with just a foundation.

Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme combines excellent full coverage in a very lightweight, breathable formula. I know lightweight and full coverage in the same sentence has to be an oxymoron of some sort but truly this formula provides excellent coverage in a formula I’m completely comfortable wearing.
I personally like sheerer coverage since I don’t require full coverage but if all full coverage products were as weightless as this I’d have no issues switching to a fuller coverage foundation product. If you need full coverage but dislike the idea of wearing a mask full of makeup I’d highly recommend Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme. This provides natural, weightless, long wearing full coverage without the drama of looking like you simply have too much makeup on!

Here is 5 pictures with the foundations from this post <3 XOXO,Paula Forrest

TREE STEPS SKIN CARE ROUTINE

11/17/2017

TREE STEPS SKIN CARE ROUTINE: When the seasons change, I always take a little time to update my skincare routine. With years of practice, I’ve gotten pretty good at adjusting my line-up depending on the climate . I figured I would share the details with all of you – both what I’ve learned over the years and how to create a simple skin care routine for this fall/winter . Finding a routine is actually pretty easy once you master the fundamentals. In simple steps, you can create a fabulous and glowing skin care routine. Seriously. Here’s what you need to know…

Step 3: Moisturizer/ Cream Benefits of moisturizer

A suitable moisturizer can help prevent and treat dry skin.
It can protect sensitive skin, improve skin tone and texture, and mask imperfections.
As moisturizers hold water in the outermost layer of skin, they also act as a temporary barrier for your skin.
It also protects the outer layer of the skin from harmful effects of sun, wind and other environmental factors. Normal skin: This type of skin is neither too dry nor too oily. In order to maintain the natural moisture balance of the skin, it is recommended to use a water-based moisturizer having light and non-greasy feeling. Dry skin: For those having dry skin type must choose a moisturizer that helps to restore moisture to the skin. It is better to use a oil-based moisturizer that contains moisturizing ingredients or petrolatum-based products. Such products will help keep your skin hydrated.
Oily skin: Acne is a common problem for those having oily skin. Though oily in nature, you need to apply a suitable moisturizer on your oily skin. Don't forget to apply a light moisturizer after using skin care products that can remove oil and dry out the skin.
Sensitive skin: Those having sensitive skin must use a moisturizer that contains soothing ingredients such as chamomile or aloe vera. Make sure the product does not contain fragrances or dyes or acids.
Mature skin: As you age, your skin tends to become drier as the oil-producing glands become less active. To keep your skin soft and well hydrated, opt for an oil-based moisturizer that contains petrolatum as the base, along with antioxidants to combat age related skin problems like wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and so on. my favorite day moisturizer gel ..

Facial Mask Benefits

11/13/2017

The Benefits of a Facial Mask.
Face masks are one of my favorite skin care products. They’re easy to apply, fun to use and are great at delivering results. My favorite thing about applying a good face mask is the feeling of tightened and toned skin after a single use.
Should everyone use a face mask? Absolutely. Face masks are the perfect skin care treatment to help you with your skin care concerns. The right face mask can help hydrate skin, remove excess oils and help improve the appearance of your pores. They’re also an excellent way to help pull out impurities. Another advantage of wearing a face mask: the feeling of being pampered like you’re at a spa from the comfort of your own home.

1. Refines skin pores:
Face mask can help you to get clearer skin and more refined pores. It deep cleanses the pores and clears the pores of dead skin cells, metabolic wastes and the oily substances that can clog them.
2 Increases hydration:
Face mask can also bring moisture and hydration to dry and dehydrated skin types.
The water from the mask penetrates deep into the skin epidermis to soften the skin and enhance its elasticity. When the skin is hydrated and well moisturized, it becomes easy to apply proper makeup. Also it gives a more plump and youthful appearance to the skin.
3. Diminishes fine lines:
Regular use of face masks can reduce the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and brown spots and so on. Also you will get to enjoy a softer and smoother skin texture.
4. Gives even skin tone:
Face masks are also designed to diminish hyper-pigmentation and give you more even skin tone and texture. It also promotes the sweat gland secretion so as to increase the oxygen content of the skin. 5. Firmer skin:
Loose skin can make your look older than your age. The problem of loose skin can be
easily solved with regular use of face masks. There are certain types of face masks
that help to enhance collagen production and fight off free radical damage which
will gradually result in firmer, tighter, fresher looking skin.
