Gives my face a flawless finish

Advantages: amazing product
Disadvantages: price

...****Clinique Blended Face Powder and Brush **** I first tried this when i was given a free sample of it last year and i love it. **About brand** Clinque sell high quality make up and toiletry products. I love clinque products and don't think i have ever came across a product that i have been unhappy with . The brand is great and if i could afford to i would stock up on it lol. **Packaging** This comes in a clear round tub with a twisty lid. I have also received this quite a few times in one of clinques ?buy .... and get something free? . These ones tend to come in a round cardboard box and you get 2g worth of product. I would say this is worth getting to try the product out and at the same time treat yourself to other products !! :P. **Product** This comes in 5 different blends-one for very fair skin,2 for moderately fair and two...

Review of Bare Escentuals Flawless Coverage Face Brush

The best face brush ever

Advantages: great quality
Disadvantages: price

...****Elizabeth Arden Mineral Makeup Face Brush **** I have been looking for a good foundation brush for quite awhile so when i was browsing the Elizabeth Arden counter at my local Debenhams i took the counter persons recommendation and purchased this brush. **Elizabeth Arden** They sell quite high quality cosmetics and other toiletry products. You can purchase their products from beauty stands in department stores such as Boots etc or online at their website of the same name. **The brush** This is a angled brush that is made from synthetic hair and is so soft. I think it looks quite smart as it is black and gold coloured(the colours of the brand)The brush feels quite thick. It says on the website that this is suitable for all powders and i think it works really well with the foundation is is supposed to go with. Another thing i liked...

Review of Elizabeth Arden Mineral Makeup Face Brush

Bourjois Bronzer Brush

Advantages: Really soft on skin
Disadvantages: Sometimes looses bristles

... The first thing I noticed was that the bristles are really, really smooth. It feels really good quality. Also there are loads of bristles making the brush really thick. Because the bristles are so dense it means they pick up loads of the bronzer / blusher you are using. This makes it a lot easier, and saves time as you no longer have to continuously reapply until the correct colour is achieved. Usually I find with one application there is enough colour. Because the brush is so smooth it feels great on your face. I have fairly sensitive skin on my cheeks which reacts badly with other brushes I have used which feel kind of prickly on your face and rough. The brush it a nice shape too. I am not a fan of thin blusher brushes which leave you looking a bit streaky. This one is quite big so a more even effect is achieved as it covers your whole...

Review of Bourjois Powder Brush

Perfect matte finish from Clinique Double Effect Face Powder

Advantages: *Perfect matte finish *Lasts all day; 6 month lifetime *Blends for unnoticeable coverage
Disadvantages: *Price - but still a good investment!

...Having tried nearly all the high street brands of face powder, I was getting pretty desperate and willing to pay a bit more to see if some of the 'designer' beauty brands offered me more for my money. I have always trusted Clinique as a brand and this time they didn't let me down - I have very oily but sensitive skin, with the odd few blemishes, spots and visible pores on my T-zone. I was looking for a powder that was quick and simple to apply, without all this 'tidemark' business, and one that would totally mattify my oily skin whilst not making me break-out in spots or blemishes. And I found it! In my opinion it gave me about 90% coverage and blended really nicely with my skin (ask the lady at the counter for which shade to go for... I was about to buy one about 2 shades too dark before she asked if the powder was for me!). As far as I...

Review of Clinique Super Double Face Powder

Wet loose face powder?

Advantages: Feels fresh, dewy, wierd!
Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

...I wanted to try this face powder after reading about it in one of those glassy magazines that make you feel ugly and horrible. I really should stop reading them. But anyway, this magazine claimed it was really good for making your foundation look perfect and all dewy. From the description I was hooked and wanted to buy it. These magazines make you spend your money! So I went to a major department store and couldn't find it anywhere, and eventually brought it on ebay! It cost £10.00 and a couple of quid for p&p. It looks like ordinary powder, in expensive looking container and a nice brush to apply it. I tipped some of the powder out on to the inside of the lid and then dipped by brush into it and applied it to my face after putting foundation on. And WOW! The powder felt WET and COLD! The feeling didn't last for too long...

Review of Prescriptives Magic Liquid Powder

Clinique Blended Loose Face Powder

Advantages: 100% fragrance free, generous amount
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...previous powder. Clinique advises you to 'Hand-rub onto face for most silken, flawless finish. Whisk off excess with swivel-out brush', but I personally prefer to press into T-zone (where I apply the powder) with a makeup sponge, and then I use the brush to brush off excess. This leaves a lovely, naturally matted look,. but not overly matte like other products- you will not feel like you're wearing a mask. I prefer using a sponge instead of fingers, as using your fingers leave behind oils, and means makeup wears of faster. The cute swivel-out brush is great for taking out- I dip the brush in the powder and secure with the lid, which leaves just the right amount for a touch up during the day. I am taking away one star, because I found that although this powder leaves your skin with a natural matte look, this does not last for as long as I...

Cheaper Alternative Face Powder

Advantages: Large amount, easy to use
Disadvantages: Wears away quite quickly

...on your brush. The powder has no scent and no shimmer. It is just a basic loose face powder. It literally just blends into the skin. INGREDIENTS talc, mica, silica, nylon-12, ethylhexyl palmitate, tocopheryl acetate, isobutylparaben, butylparaben, methylparaben, propylparaben OVERALL I really like this product, it suits all skin types and various skin tones. It has great packaging and is simple to use and easy to apply. I have found that its good value for money, the use by date is in 4 years time. I have used it everyday for 3 weeks and have hardly used any at all. It is great value, will last for a very long time and i would definitely recommend as a cheaper alternative to the higher brands. The only issue i had was that i found my face got quite shiny quite quickly as the powder wears off so it may need to be reapplied a couple...

Review of Go Cosmetics Translucent Powder

A high quality brush for those rosy cheeks.

Advantages: Blends the blusher in nicely.
Disadvantages: Very pricey!

...and cheeks. If have a more large face I would probably use a bigger brush for a more even application. In my experience this brush has been great when it comes to applying my blusher. I always apply my blusher last after I've finished the rest of my make up. Whatever brand of blusher you are using, just place one side and tip of the blusher brush onto your powder and smooth it on as you would if you were applying it, then lightly tap it to remove any excess. The shape of this brush is great as it's very easy to just glide across my cheek bones, the tapered edges help it blend in nicely as it goes along so avoids making your blusher look patchy or streaky when it's applied, which low quality brushes can do. I've used various different types of blusher with this brush and they've all worked perfectly. Sometimes I need to 'soften' the blusher as...
