Coastal Scents 88 Piece Makeup Palette Review. My honest review on the Coastal Scents 88 Piece Makeup Palette. I'm still on the fence about this product, the eyeshadow are highly pigmented and last long but the kit breaks easily. I would suggest this for anyone wanting to play around with eyeshadow colors but I would not recommenced this for someone who travels with makeup alot since it might break easily :( Watch the video for my of my thoughts on the palette.
Make Up For Ever Hd Primer Review. The new Make Up For Ever Hd Primer is great to use with the Hd Makeup. (For the review on the Make Up For Ever Hd Makeupclick here) I originally purchased the primer because Its the first primer that I have ever seen personally that offers a range of coloring shades for different problems. Its a correcting primer at its best to give you the finish your lust after.
List of Shades and What Each Does
0 Neutral-Adds natural luminosity to the complexion 1 Green-Minimizes redness 2 Mauve-Counteracts sallow undertones 4 Caramel-(Make Up For Ever needs to learn to count, what happened to three?)-Combats ashiness in medium to dark skin tones 5 Blue-Adds radiance to fair skin and reduces minor imperfections 6 Yellow-Lightens dark complexions 8 Pink-Brightens the complexion and counteracts sallow undertones
What Make Up For Ever Says It Does: HD Microperfecting Primer deeply nourishes, moisturizes, and softens the skin, creating a glowing effect. Creates a protective layer on the skin allowing foundation to glide on easily and last longer.
What I Say It Does: Let me first start by saying I purchased number 4that combats ashiness in medium and dark skin tones. The reason being sometimes in the winter my skin can get a bit dry which I hate. So I wanted something to give me a brighter appearance. I'm so glad that I brought this. I also purchase number 6 because I wasn't sure which one would work for me. My suggestion is that if you are African American or a woman of color if you have more yellow undertones get number 4 and if you have more warm or red get the number 6. (The 4 will darken/warm you a bit while the 6 will lighten you up.) The bottom line with this product is this, it warms up my complexion while adding a little bit of coverage. I like to use it on my neckline and my chest (decolletage) so that my face and neck look more cohesive. This product also last all day and holds my makeup well so it isn't running off my face by the end of the day. It also gives you a bit of a glow and if you are looking for a bit of moisture this will give you a tad for those cold winter days.
