Although i've never been one for using what everyone else does on their skin and generally to go out in, i may have decided to try out a few things that have been all hyped up over recently.
1. Primers.
I have tried a cheap primers, to see whether price makes any different in quality;
first of all i tried the pro-base eye primer by makeup academy as i was going to prom and needed a good primer to make sure it all stayed on, overall i could see that it hadnt clagged up and stayed very nice until about 6 hours after applying which personally i think is pretty good for a £2 (ishh) primer.
After trying this and seeing great results i tried the makeup academy full face primer, i do believe that moisturising skin before you apply is completely necessary, once that is done, the primer works very well, and partnered with a stay matte foundation i believe skin can look flawless. It lasts and stays well on skin and does increase the time that foundation can stay on your skin. For around £4 for the full face primer and lasting around 2 months when using the primer everyday i would completely recommend. (But not if your skin is very patchy or very dry)
2. Topshop eyeshadow pallet
as i had heard alot of good things about topshop makeup but after buying a lipliner felt tip thing and not being impressed i was some what closing my ears to listening to everyones good reviews on the makeup. But as i was searching and searching for a four colour pallet for the perfect smokey eye, and not coming across any in boots and super drug, in fenwicks or debenhams i resorted to topshop. After catching my eye on a gorgeous smoking eye pallet thats it, it was purchased, the 'golden aura' was mine, and for an easy price of around £8 the blocks of colour were to die for, and large which means they will last, but when trying them out the pigmet was not as good as i thought, i have decided for some occasions the pallet will be good, but not for everyday or for my top 5 to die for must buy again products. Try for yourself maybe im too fussy but in my opinion theres far better out there!
3. My last experiment was the MAC lipstick,
now im one for the kate moss matte lippys they are too die for in my opinion like seriously theyre perffffect, but instead i tried to jump into the deap end and really go for the hype of mac lippys. As the bright and neon are crazy this summer, i tried the VIVA GLAM nicki in satin, the colour is well pigmented and the texture is great, if youre on a night out then this is perfect but i wouldnt wear it everyday im much more of a red / purple red colour type of gal, but for clubbing and things it would perfect, i would recommend it too any girl looking for a bright colour to shock the boys!
