Cheap Laura Mercier Secret Brightener - Secret Brightening Powder, 0.14 oz.


This product is fine as long as you realize that less is more. It's very easy to put on too much and look like a dead man walking. The texture is light and fluffy, not too sparkly and lasts a long time.Get more detail about Laura Mercier Secret Brightener - Secret Brightening Powder, 0.14 oz..

Buying Korres Face Primer 0.34 oz


I purchased this primer mainly because of the positive reviews and I love the Korres rose moisturizer! That is a dream. This primer, however, smells not awful, but not what I expected. It feels like any old cream, not a primer. I am currently using Lancome LA BASE, which is lovely. The Korres does not allow the makeup to "glide" on, [for me] Am I doing something wrong? Did I expect too much? I would have loved this to be a positive review. Won't purchase again.Get more detail about Korres Face Primer 0.34 oz.

Buy Avon TRUE COLOR Blush Earthen Rose


Great Blush. Great color. Stays on all day. I wear makeup three to four days a week and this product lasted a year and a half.

This is the only Avon product I used before I became a representative. Now I love so many more products.

Purchase Benefit Cosmetics One Hot Minute


This is my absolute favorite loose powder bronzer ever. It is just a lovely fresh color with a slight sheen. I use it for bronzing, contouring my cheeks and temples, and sometimes as a substitute for blush. It doesn't go on too dark and is easy to blend. Working with One Hot Minute is a dream. It doesn't make me break out which is a very nice and obvious bonus.

So why 4 stars instead of 5? I do not like the packaging. The little sifter doesn't allow enough product to come through. Not a big deal, I just took a needle and kind of dug out the holes so that more product would come through. I've not used the brush but it looks like it would be ok for on-the-go application. I usually apply with either a MAC 109 (small round powder brush) or 188 (small dual fiber brush), sometimes I use a 168 (angled cheek brush).

This product is not for everyone. If you are medium to dark or dark skinned I think this product may be too light for you. Also the product has a fragrance. It's a nice scent but I know some people are quite sensitive to scented products. In fact, I think all Benefit cheek products are scented.

Use this as a bronzer on the cheeks and temples, or to contour the cheeks. I do not recommend this product for contouring the jawline or nose because it is a bit too shimmery. You might be able to get away with that at night but your face could have an unnatural shine if photographed with a flash.

I have a ton of cheek color products so I'm not likely to run out of bronzer anytime soon. But when I do, One Hot Minute is the only bronzer I would repurchase. Get more detail about Benefit Cosmetics One Hot Minute.

Order Youngblood Loose Mineral Foundation (Coffee)


With the mercury in mascara and lead in lipstick scare, I decided it was time to make the change to eco-friendly and safe cosmetics. I didn't know where to begin, but then I found a great website called Go Green Mart and More; all products on the site have been scrutinized and found to be safe for me and the environment. Go Green Mart led me to Youngblood, and I easily made my purchase through Amazon.

It's my first experience with a mineral foundation, whether liquid or powder. I chose the loose powder foundation to see what all the fuss was about. Because of the infomercials I've seen of related products I was skeptical; however, I was pleasently surprised! Youngblood goes on light and silky and it more than covers. I think covers is an understatement; it brings life to the skin. As I go about my busy day and make periodic mirror checks I am pleasently amazed to see bright, healthy looking skin. My skin looks alive no matter how tired or stressed I may feel, having a positive psycological affect on me; I smile at the mirror.

The only negative, which is incidental, every day I've got to wash the residue from the sink no matter how gently and carefully I apply the loose powder. Hardly worth mentioning. Youngblood mineral foundation is my new best friend - along with Go Green Mart and More, together shopping green is simplified. Get more detail about Youngblood Loose Mineral Foundation (Coffee).

Where To Buy Benefit Cosmetics You Rebel


I like the light fragrance which is not over-powering and it doesn't feel heavy or oily like some other products. It blends in really easily for me and I do have slight tan. So far I like the product. Get more detail about Benefit Cosmetics You Rebel.

Iman Second to None Cream to Powder Foundation 1 Clay


I was introduced to this product over 10 years ago and love it. It lasts and when used on oily skin and does not leave an oily film nor when used on normal skin. Used with Dermablend concealer and Avon translucent powder was a great combo. The colors are the closest or most natural for women of color that I have seen (after trying some other department-store-found-brands that have been around for years, geared to women of color)for those that have complexions with yellow undertones. The Iman line was available in JCPenney, but no longer. This is my only issue, that it is now very difficult to find and so far the best location is on amazon via Target.com. Sephora brand has some colors that are similar, but they produced a bit of excess oil on oily skin.Get more detail about Iman Second to None Cream to Powder Foundation 1 Clay.

Avon mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder Golden Honey Immediately


I have tried to find powders that are a match to my unique skin color, and have not come anywhere near to finding one, especially with department store products. This product is absolutely amazing! It blends perfectly in, and people cannot tell that you have tons of make up on (if any at all!), but instead a matte look. It's at a great price, lasts a really long time, and makes you look wonderful! It's a MUST BUY!Get more detail about Avon mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder Golden Honey.

CARGO Foundation - Oil Free F 60 Get it now!


A friend introduced me to Cargo's #20 foundation when she did my makeup for a photoshoot with my husband. I have been a longtime wearer of Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation and I was very skeptical about wearing a liquid foundation again. I love the way mineral powdered makeup feels so natural and I don't have to worry about it rubbing off on anyone/anything. But when my friend used Cargo's liquid foundation on me, I changed my mind.

Yes, I can feel that I have a light foundation on when touching my face (which I shouldn't do, but oh well!) ~ Bare Escentuals has Cargo beat in that aspect ~ but the smooth and luminous appearance of the Cargo foundation on my skin is amazing! My makeup looks so much better atop this foundation (versus the Bare Escentuals powder foundation). The best part is that I can still see my natural skin through the liquid foundation, just like with Bare Escentuals. The Cargo foundation just gives me more oomph than the powder foundation does. I definitely won't give up Bare Escentuals ~ in the summertime, powder foundation is the best lightweight foundation! ~ but I will absolutely be using Cargo's foundation more often to special events or when I want to look more put-together.Get more detail about CARGO Foundation - Oil Free F 60.

Sue Devitt Camouflage Concealer - Granite Downs Buy Now


I have tried almost every type of concealer out there, because I have a few discolorations from old acne, etc. and I think even, flawless looking skin goes further than any other makeup. After trying everything (Stila solid, liquid ones, etc.) this is the one I come back to time and time again, and I doubt I will find anything better. I also first found it on Sephora, was bummed when they stopped carrying it, and now have to get it from Amazon.

The reasons it's amazing:
- it provides really natural coverage -- it just doesn't look cakey or thick, the way others can
- it's made from botanical ingredients
- it provides excellent long lasting coverage. one reviewer mentioned it's water resistant - I'm not surprised to hear that, because this has stayed put longer throughout the day than other concealers I've tried. it's supposed to have some kind of ingredients that lend it flexibility to move with your skin.

The range of colors is also impressive (although I feel bad for anyone who has to choose from this color palette - I would recommend trying them out in person if you can find them somewhere). I am Asian so it's hard to find concealers that work with yellow or olive tone skin. I use Quiet and Still most seasons, and Tanami when I'm tanner in the summer.

Can't say enough good things about Sue Devitt's concealer! (Her primer and whipped foundation are also pretty amazing. I don't wear them daily but used them for my wedding for really natural coverage.)

Clinique Stay-True Makeup Oil-Free Formula Stay Porcelain 1 oz Order Now


I've used this foundation for more than 12 years and haven't found anything I like better. It does a good job of controlling shine and provides very good coverage. My one complaint is that I wish it had a bit more staying power and didn't sometimes look cakey at the end of the day, but I haven't found a brand that can do either of those things, so maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.Get more detail about Clinique Stay-True Makeup Oil-Free Formula Stay Porcelain 1 oz.

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Oil Free Decide Now


After reading the rave reviews I was really excited to get this product. I have very oily skin and after a few hours my face is always shiny. The product description notes that the primer is ideal for oily and acne-prone skin, which is what I have. Today was the first day I have used the primer and I am disappointed. After a few hours my face is as shiny as it always is without the primer. I may try to use more in the future and refridgerate the product, but I'm not hopeful. I think i'll try Smashbox's gel-powder product for oily skin. This primer just did not do the job. It did create a smoother surface to apply my makeup, but that's about it.Get more detail about Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Oil Free.

Clinique All About Eyes Concealer Light Neutral Right now


A little bit goes a long way! The tube container has a very narrow nose so that just a drop can be dispensed. I always use a moisturizer as a base and found this product covers so well that I went beyond the eyes and was able to spread it in the middle zone of my face. It evened out my coloring of my whole face! For everyday use that's all I put on my face. For a more finished coverage I brush on a powdered foundation. This is an excellent product.Get more detail about Clinique All About Eyes Concealer Light Neutral.

Low Price Guerlain Meteorites Powder For The Face Mythic 01


I tried this product many years ago and loved it!! But it is kinda expensive, so I tried many other inexpensive ones and they do not come close to this!!! It seems to last for a very long time too, so maybe in the long run it is cheaper?... But I love this product!! Feels great!!! Looks great!!! Will stick with this product, done searching for an inexpensive alternative. If you are wondering how I use this product - I do not use foundation, just eye shadow and then I dust my face with this product. People think I have foundation on or great skin ... no foundation and no great skin. And if you are wondering, I am 46 years old. Treat yourself and give this product a try. I use it with the brush they suggest, the pink bristled one. So far I haven't had to replace it and looks like it will last years.Get more detail about Guerlain Meteorites Powder For The Face Mythic 01.

It is smudge proof and waterproof if you don't swim or use soap. Just use some translucent powder to set it, and boy, will you be impressed!

Cheap Dermablend - Smooth Indulgence Foundation - Nude Beige


I have used every brand of foundation from liquid to mineral, cheap to designer brands. I keep coming back to dermablend. It covers impeccably and I have combination skin. Does not get oily or dry spots. Does not sink into wrinkles. This product is generally made for covering up scars, and perhaps for some users with scars or a bad complexion the results might not be as good as it has been for me. (I actually have fairly clear skin) But, dermablend gives a flawless, tireless look without appearing too caked on. It takes years off my face, though I'm only 33, I feel 20 with it on. The makeup stays put, doesnt rub off too easily on clothes, as I have worn white polos without worry. It washes of clean as well, unlike some long wearing makeup. My husband compliments my skin, and this it even looks good in bright daylight since it blends in so well and the shades match my face.
I would recommend this surely for normal complexioned people to acne scared as well, perhaps not the top coverage for serious age spots or severe scarring.Get more detail about Dermablend - Smooth Indulgence Foundation - Nude Beige.

Purchase Philosophy The Supernatural Poreless, Flawless SPF 15 1.6oz


This product does just what it says: my pores are minimized and the skin tone is evened out. The product says it is for any skin tone, and after trying, I am convinced. I have middle-aged, very fair skin yet with olive undertones, so finding a good match for my skin tone is often a trial. This product looks orange-y when it comes out of the tube--and I thought, "Really? This is for any skin tone?", yet it actually enhances my skin tone beautifully. Blends easily and feels luxurious on the skin. Because I am middle-aged, I have not left the house without foundation in many years; yet, this worn alone improves the look of my skin so much that I can go without foundation if I choose. I will be stocking up.Get more detail about Philosophy The Supernatural Poreless, Flawless SPF 15 1.6oz.

Order Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation - 10 watts


I first discovered this foundation about maybe 9 years - i forget - this foundation gives you a flawless skin finish - i do recommend that if you have any blemishes or dark under eyes - then use an dark circle concealer of some form - over the years ive mixed Nars, Benefit, By Terry and Clinique concealers and you cant even tell they are by two companies.
The illuminating is created by light reflexion off the golden shimmer within the products. You cant even tell you have it on - it litterally makes you glow! Not like you have bronzer on!
I heard that Stila was bought by Estee Lauder then sold to an unknown company - so Space NK my nearest store who keep it - no longer sell it in my local stores - until they find out more about production etc - if this is true - i will be absolutely lost without this product!
You will not regret purchasing this!Get more detail about Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation - 10 watts.

Where To Buy MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microperfecting Primer 1 Green


I have never been able to wear foundation well because of my flaky, sensitive skin. Makeup Forever HD Microperfecting Primer goes on cool and soothing. I wear it every day. It smooths my skin and lets me wear a light coat of foundation without it flaking everwhere and making me break out. Even without foundation, the primer lightens up the red blotchy look that I get for a few days a month. (I use the green shade when I'm extra splotchy.) After years of skipping foundation, this stuff has made me look forward to putting it on in the morning!Get more detail about MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microperfecting Primer 1 Green.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 - Illuminating Bare Radiance Right now


I Love love LOVE this tinted moisturizer! On it's own it's o.k., but do agree it can be a bit too sparkly worn that way. It does do a superb job at evening out my skin tone, though!

I might add that I own over 10 foundations (two Chanel, four MAC, two Clinique, other Laura Mercier etc..) and my favorite way to wear this tinted moisturizer, is believe it or not, with Revlon's Colorstay foundation!

It truly is my Holy Grail mixture. It achieves a brightness and subtle glow that lasts you literally all day long, which most other foundations that claim to be "dewy" or "radiant" lack.

Also, the tinted moisturizer has almost 2 oz, which you really are getting more money's worth as most foundations only contain 1 oz, so even though it's $42, you're almost getting double the product.Get more detail about Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 - Illuminating Bare Radiance.

Discount Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Warm Ivory


This product provides excellent coverage, however, be aware that it contains Petrolatum as a main ingredient which is known to clog skin pores. I purchased the creamy concealer along with the color corrector and unfortunately both products contain Petrolatum. The woman at the Bobbi Brown makeup counter made me up and it looked really great. I didn't even look at the ingredients before I purchased it because I figured that it would not contain Petrolatum since it was expensive. When I got home later that evening I noticed I had little white pimples popping on the skin in the area underneath my eye. I looked at the ingredients in the products and found they each contain Petrolatum. I would never have purchased these products if I had known before hand. I also wouldn't have let the makeup artist make up my face. I feel I just wasted money on this product. Now I have to find a product to get rid of these unsightly and annoying pimples that I have now because of the creamy concealer and corrector.

It just goes to show you that just because a product is expensive doesn't mean that the company is using good or healthy ingredients for the skin in their products. Good makeup and skin care products don't contain Petrolaturm. If it didn't contain Petrolatum, I would have given it a rating of 5 based on the excellent coverage.Get more detail about Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Warm Ivory.

Buying ERA FACE Spray On Foundation - Y3


I bought this like many ladies here, because Carmindy used it on WNTW. I wish I had saved my money and stuck with a cheaper foundation. I shook it well & applied with the sponge. It wears off like any other cheaper foundation and it feels really heavy on my skin. Even in a light application it feels caked on. It does nothing for the oiliness and feels even more caked on with powder on top. Also, I used their site to find the right color, using my usual brand which matches my skin exactly, it told me I need R4 for my rosy skin. But this actually looks a shade too dark and a little too yellowish on my rosy-toned skin.
Essentially- I wish I hadn't wasted money on this product when I could buy a better one in the local drug store for 1/4 the price!Get more detail about ERA FACE Spray On Foundation - Y3.

Purchase Bare Escentuals bareVitamins - Skin Rev-er Upper 2.3 oz


I got this with my Bare Minerals starter kit awhile back. I don't wear makeup every day, but this product is part of my daily skin care. It's kind of like a serum. It keeps my skin smooth and pimple-free. Also, a little bottle lasts a long time. I use this right before I use my daily moisturizer with SPF. Of course, I use it with the foundation, too, but my skin stays so nice I don't always use the foundation.

I have combo/oily skin and if I just use this without a moisturizer, my skin will get dry. So use it as it's meant to be used: as a vitamin serum for the skin. If you expect this product to be what it isn't, you'll be disappointed.
