Review of Laura Mercier Moisturizing Foundation Blush Ivory (For Very Fair Skin Tones)

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser

Advantages: Long lasting, lightweight, amazing product!
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...During the summer months I find that foundations can be too heavy on my skin and I much prefer something lighter. On my sister?s recommendation I decided to try out the Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. This product retails at £32 from the Laura Mercier counters, so it?s definitely an expensive product! The tinted moisturiser comes in a large variety of shades, so if you visit the Laura Mercier counter they will colour match you for the right shade, in my case porcelain. This is the first advantage I think this product has, because many tinted moisturisers do not come in such an extensive range of shades, therefore they are not always suited to everyone?s skin tone. When the make up artist applied the product he did so using a foundation brush, you can use your fingers, however I find that you tend to get better coverage if you use...

Review of Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 Tan

BOBBI BROWN OIL FREE FOUNDATION

Advantages: coverage, light, blends in well
Disadvantages: expensive

...I HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND IT IS FANTASTIC, THE COVERAGE IS GREAT AND FEELS LIGHT ON THE SKIN. I HAVE SPOT PRONE SKIN THEREFORE THE OIL FREE FOUNDATION HELPS MY SKIN BREATHE. YOU HAVE TO USE A SMALL AMOUNT FOR GREAT COVERAGE AND DOES NOT DRY OUT THE SKIN OR LEAVE A 'MASK' LIKE FEELING. THE COVERAGE LASTS UPTO EIGHT-TEN HOURS. THE DISADVANTAGE OF THIS PRODUCT IS THE PRICE.... ..£24 PER BOTTLE BUT IF YOU HAVE SPOT PRONE SKIN AND WOULD LIKE TO MAXIMISE YOUR COVERAGE THEN THIS FOUNDATION WOULD BE WORTH YOUR MONEY. IF YOU FIND IT TO EXPENSIVE TO USE EVERYDAY I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO BUY IT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS IF YOU ARE WANTING A FLAWLESS FINISH. :)...

Review of Bobbi Brown Oil Free Foundation

Bobbi Brown perfect foundation

Advantages: Stops my skin looking oily
Disadvantages: nothing

...I bought the Bobbi Brown foundation for £24 for 30ml. What does the promo say? Keeps oily skin looking fresh and even all day with this 100% oil-free formula with SPF 15 Specially formulated to prevent shine and minimise the look of blemishes on acne-prone skin. Allows for medium to full coverage as desired. My thoughts... It's amazing, I would defiantly recommend this product I think this is better than my other foundation 'Forever skin' by Dior which is £22.50. This product really does keep my skin looking oil free and I don't even have to do any touch ups after my application as it stays put. Shades Alabaster Porcelain Warm Ivory Sand Warm Sand Beige Warm Beige Natural Warm Natural Honey Golden Warm Almond Almond Warm Walnut Walnut Chestnut Espresso The good thing about the Bobbi Browns...

Laura Mercier Undercover

Advantages: Easy to use, hides anything!
Disadvantages: A little pricey?

...I absolutely love Laura Mercier products as they make my skin flawless and they are excellent quality! Ask any make up artist what their preferred concealer is and most will mention Laura Mercier.. Her cosmetics have fans such as Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba which im sure you will agree look fantastic and have great skin! I purchased this online from Adore Beauty for approx £18 which is a little pricey but its definately worth every penny! The packaging is a mini silver compact with a Laura Mercier logo on the front in black lettering The concealer has two sections with two different types on concealers that are slightly different in colour and have different ingredients One concealer is for covering blemishes and the other is for covering dark circles under the eyes. The concealer on the left is slightly powdery...

Review of Laura Mercier Undercover UC5 (Suntanned & Medium to Dark Skin Tones)

The Body Shop No Oil Foundation

Advantages: Perfects Skin
Disadvantages: None

...I was buying mouse foundations from all different companies and was noticing blotches in my skin, i really didn't want to have to resort to buying an expensive foundation, so i routed around a bit and came across this foundation The Body Shop Moisture Foundation, it has no oils, therefore does not give a greasy looking finish but a glossy tanned one which is a huge refreshing change from orange blotches. Its also quite good at the cover ups of spots etc without having to use bucket loads, I would advise this for those with sensitive skin. It has an SPF 15 in it to help protect the skin, comes in 10 different shades. It has two vitamins in it amoungst many minerals to achieve long lasting coverage. Vitamin C - Helps to smooth out, giving a radient shine. Vitamin E - Helps to condition and protect the skin. This...

Review of The Body Shop Oil-Free Liquid Foundation

I feel purified.....

Advantages: Clear, clean, fresh, soft, fab looking skin
Disadvantages: Price and availability

..."Wash my face in oil? Are you serious?" was exactly what I was thinking when I was talking to the Laura Mercier make up artist who was doing our make up for my friend's wedding. Surely that would make my face greasy or worse make me break out in a rash? I mean I always buy oil-free products and it's not like I am unknown to Laura Mercier products - apart from the make up bag full of their products I use Laura Mercier's oil free tinted moisturiser so why would I want to put oil on my face to clean it? Don't get me wrong I wasn't totally adverse to the idea (my friend was paying for us to have our make up done so I wasn't going to kick up a fuss) and in fact I was quite intrigued. In truth I had been looking for a decent cleanser for years - I'd gone from Eve Lom to Boots own and I'd be happy for a few weeks (or minutes in some...

Review of Laura Mercier Purifying Oil - Light

Definitely oil-free....

Advantages: goodbye shiny face
Disadvantages: price

...This is another product by Bobby Brown that I cannot live without. I suffer from oily t-zone, so it is very important for me to have a product that doesn't make me look like a "greasy frying pan". Most of the foundations I have tried look brilliant when just applied, but at after a few hours it's back to shiny face. However this oil-free foundation really works. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. It also lasts.. which is the main benefit. I bought it in Selfridges and the consultant helped me to choose the right shade (it was a great match). I am not sure actually whether it is still works on a hot day, because I tend to avoid foundation in the summer....

Review of Bobbi Brown Oil Free Foundation

Bobbi Brown, the best makeup foundation ever!!

Advantages: Easy application, absolutely natural look!
Disadvantages: A little bit on the pricey side!! :S

...Not many of us women can just walk out the door without applying at least a little bit of make up - unless you're absolutely confident with your looks! It's true that what makes a woman beautiful is that she looks good even without makeup. However some of us do not have that luxury. Not all of us has a smooth reflection, without eye bags and dopey eyes. Hence, we need the help of make up. It is important to choose the best makeup that goes perfectly with your skin. Makeup contains chemicals, and to have it constantly on your face, won't be good for the skin. Personally, I'm a bit sceptical about those cheap makeup brands. I started applying makeup 3 years ago. I started of with a rather cheap brand, as I was a student I couldn't afford those expensive ones. And I'm refering to foundation here. I was never satisfied with other brands...
