...not when I came across maybelline great wear.
I have found some foundations that are hard to blend and a few that just sit on your face and look so unnatural but this isn't one of them,
It blends so easily and feels so light and looks very natural too, I also have a problem that many foundations change to a weird shade of orange on my skin but not this one the colour it is in the bottle is the colour you get.
Because it is ... ...skin is a bit oily anyway as it doesn't agrevate the problem and them slide off when you get hot.
I thought I would never find a foundation to suit me till I stumbled across this one.
The only down side to it is it claims to be 'fragrance free' but it really does have a very strange chemical smell to it which can make your eyes water a little bit but nothing to put me off using it.

Advantages: Long lasting, widely available, inexpensive Disadvantages: not for dryer skins
This foundation has been around for quite a few years and I've not found anything, in any price range, that does the job better for everyday wear. This isn't a foundation for those seeking a natural look, but for people with a few blemishes etc to hide, and want something that'll stay there all day, this is just the thing. There's a good range of colours, even for those at the paler end of the spectrum; and once you get used to the way this dries ... ...not designated for any skin type, but I would be surprised if anyone with dry skin found it suitable - on the other hand it stands up to oiliness pretty well. It also keeps very well without going off - I have several bottles, some of which have suffered no deterioration after three or four years. ...

Advantages: coverage and long lasting Disadvantages: fast drying and easy to use too much
I started using the Great Wear foundation because it was marginally cheaper than the one I was using before. I thought it would be ok, but not brilliant, but it really suprised me! I was scarred by acne in my teenage years, not badly, but enough to be in need of a decent foundation. This is the best I have ever used for coverage and lastability. At the end of the day, I still have a full face of foundation, and that it a feat, when you add greasy ... ...about this product is the amount of coverage, and the fact that it lasts all day! The only downside is that you have to be quick to apply it, as it dries fast, and it is easy to use too much when you are not used to it, but as you do get used to it, it becomes a complete godsend! Anyone who needs a decent degree of coverage which lasts would find this a brilliant product! ...

Advantages: Creamy texture, long-lasting, wide range of colours Disadvantages: Pricey for an eyeliner, bulky packaging, isn't really waterproof
I had run out of my usual Boots 17 Perfect Definition eyeliner, and being a creature of habit, thought I would try a new one, as I wasn't entirely happy with my 17 one, and the only redeeming feature was the price!
This one looked fairly good - it claims to be waterproof and virtually budge-proof. It cost £3.99 which is more than I'd usually pay for an eyeliner but nonetheless, it looked very promising! There are a wide range of colours, and I choose Cinnabar, a dark brown.
MaybellineGreatWear Waterproof Eyeliner comes in a twist-up pencil format, which it doesn't state on the label and neither can you tell from the packaging, but it does make things a lot easier and there's no need for eyeliner sharpeners, which might save you a few pounds.
It is rather bulky and long though, and there seems to be a lot of unneccesary ...
When it comes to putting on eye make up the one thing that I always apply is eye liner. Having had several nasty accidents with the traditional eye liners eg kohl pencils which seem to splinter leaving bits of wood floating in my eyes - ouch!. Kohl pencils also never seem to get a good point after you have sharpened them as so make applying them rather hard if you just want a nice neat line around your eye lashes.
With this in mind I can definetly recommend MaybellinesGreatwear water proof eye liner. retailing at £3.99 in superdrug and Boots, might make it a little bit more pricey then other eye liners but this eye liner is brilliant. My main consideration for buying Maybelline was due to the fact that it is not a traditional wood pencil eye liner, the eye liner its self is contained in a plastic pen and to gain more of the liner ...
Advantages: Quick & easy to use, comes in 6 different shades so it should suit everyone & is cheap!!! Disadvantages: If the lipstick is in same colour as maybelline lip liner - the contour around your lips will fade
I prefer Maybelline Watershine Diamonds Lipstick in Sand and Beige tones as well as various shades of red from other brands. To make my lips more plum or to make them visually smaller I use different lip liner and lipstick colours. Whatever I do - my make-up is not complete without the lip liner as it makes my lips look rich and well groomed - absolutely irresistable!!
So...It has been a long time I have been using lip-liner along with lipstick to dress up my lips. I am not fan of luxorious cosmetics but I like anything and everything that is of a good quality, that suits me and that is affordable :)
MaybellineGreatWear Lipliner production has been discovered by me on the day when I could not find my lipliners when trying to prepare for wedding party! So I quickly went to the nearest shop which is boots in order to find ...
