This foundation offers amazing! Coverage, you only need a small amount and within seconds my skin had full cover, looked smooth and flawless! Only thing I would add is it dries quick quickly so you need to blend, blend and blend before it dries but I found applying it no different to how I apply my other foundation. Concealer and all other products sat over it beautifully!

It is matte, however it isn’t totally flat and it doesn’t dry with any kind of powdery finish at all. It contains light reflecting pigment which helps to give the skin some life. If you have dry skin you’ll need to moisturise and prime, or with all matte dense foundations it can highlight areas of dryness and texture.

Lasting power is generally really good. I’ve tried this over a few days with different primers and finishers and found it wears better with powder over the top, and a mist of setting spray for true super long lasting coverage, I would say you'd get a good 12hrs+ wear, for super oily complexion you may need to blot or powder to keep you looking super matte.

If you are looking for something full for nights out or a special event, looking to create a flawless even base, are oily skinned, or are looking for lasting coverage for acne, rosacea, pigmentation or similar, I’d say you can’t go wrong with this one, especially as it contains no SPF it photographs beautifully with no flashback.

Available in 24 different colours to choose from, so a good range from porcelain through to deep from most good beauty stores including Urban Decay For £27.00.

Too Faced 'Born This Way Naturally Radiant' concealer in Very Fair

Instantly hide imperfections, vanish the appearance of dark circles, and blur the look of lines and wrinkles for complete coverage so undetectable, they'll think you were Born This Way.

I think the collection is pretty good in terms of shades (from “Very Fair” to “Deep”), but with any line, there’s always someone who can’t find a good match. Sometimes I can’t even find my shade with brands who specialise in having “every shade”. That being said, I found a good match with Too Faced’s Born This Way Concealer in “very Light.” I am on the pale side with neutral more-toward-pink undertones. Some pale shades tend to be too pink or too yellow, but “very Light” worked out perfectly for me and really brightens my under eye area, the formula is super moisturising and I love the faint smell of coconut I smell when applying, The Naturally Radiant Concealer is made with coconut water and hyaluronic acid to moisturise without being oily, and Alpine Rose is to brighten and promote elasticity.

The shades - 

Very Fair – pale with pink undertones
Fair – light with pink undertones
Light – golden undertones
Light Medium – medium with peach undertones
Medium – tan with golden undertones
Medium Tan – pink undertones
Tan – golden undertones
Deep Tan – golden undertones
Dark – golden undertones
Deep – pink undertones

I'm loving using mine along with the BTW foundation, they are match made in heaven.. Super long lasting, provide full cover, non drying, just flawless!! Available from all good beauty stores for £20.00.

• Infused with the resilient Alpine Rose to brighten the skin’s appearance and promote elasticity
• Hyaluronic Acid helps balance skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

I totally LOVE this foundation, it leaves my skin looking flawless! It is just beautiful, my only complaint which is tiny is becareful if buying online as the shades are quite difficult to choose as I had Porcelain which I thought was the lightest shade but it is actually 1-2 shades darker than vanilla? So I would suggest gong in store or getting a sample before buying yours. But I can still wear Porcelain, I just use less and sheer it out and it looks fine. I will just use it in the summer months as it lasts all day and absorbs my oil .. I just can't praise this foundation any more.. It is currently my HG foundation for all weathers and occasions. If you're looking for a foundation that is super comfortable to wear all day and fantastic coverage, this is definitely the one for you!!! I've tried so many foundations and this one stood out to me the most. it feels like you're wearing absolutely nothing while giving you flawless looking skin. 

Available for £29.00 as all good beauty stores.

Smashbox Full Exposure Travel Size Palette.

This versatile eye shadow set provides eight must-have neutrals in one portable palette. From nudes to blacks, these crease-resistant, long-wear shimmers and velvety smooth mattes are organised with shimmers on top and mattes on the bottom so that they are easy to use. I picked this little beauty up from Sephora in the mall at Millenia in Orlando whilst on Holiday in June, it is tiny.. About the size of a Credit card, I was really surprised how small it was, but the shadows are great, pigmented and a good size and fill the palette, it is perfect for popping into your handbag or a compact make up bag for a trip away, the shades can take you from day to night no messing! Full of neutrals like the smashbox full size palatte but this contains eight.. Four matte and four shimmer, such a great little travel-size palette of eight, with universal neutral shadows. t was $24 = £15.78 which I don't think is too bad for eight high quality, long wearing shadows?!

This set contains: 
Shimmer Eye shades in Chocolate Brown/Golden Pearl, Soft Gold/Golden Silver Pearl, Light Tan/Golden Silver Pearl, Mid-Tone Slate/Silver Pearl.
Matte Eye shades in Matte Warm Chocolate Brown, Soft Matte Mid-tone Tan, Creamy Matte Beige, Ashy Dark Brown.

The Full Exposure Palette was created because the pros at Smashbox Studios needed it. On set, they’ve seen every skin tone and eye shape imaginable, so they wanted a super universal, straightforward palette that works on anyone, anywhere—from big-deal photo shoots to behind-the-scenes Instagram selfies.
