Recent Finds...Makeup
I wanted a pick me upper so I got some new makeup...
YSL Rouge Pur Couture #12 & #27
Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer #15 (haven't tried this one yet)
Giorgio Armani Master Corrector #2
Giorgio Armani Sheer Blush #2
Kevin Aucoin Celestial Powder in Candlelight
My Verdict: Pass on the YSL #27 lip stain, I tried this a few times and I'm thinking because it's a light colour it didn't last as long on me. I did 3 coats and once it came to eating, all of it came off. I do however, prefer the darker colour #12, with this I'm fine with 1 coat. It lasts until I wipe it off. I haven't tried any other colours from the line, but if you plan to the darker more pigmented colours are probably worth the $.
Pass on the GA master corrector, I put this on before I put my Laura Mercier secret concealer in #2. I found with both on and setting it with LM's secret brightening powder, my fine lines were more prominent. While it did cancel out the pigmentation, I don't have that bad of dark circles to warrant using both the GA and LM. Plus who wants to see their fine lines! I'll try this one again with a lighter highlighter, possibly the Dior skinflash. It was too expensive to give away just yet.
Pass on the GA sheer blush. On my skin this looked chalky. I didn't have a chance to try this on, and ordered it blindly based on reviews. To make this work for me, I have to layer this with another blush. Again since it's expensive I'll have to work with it.
Lastly, pass on the KA highlighter. I wanted to love this based on the reviews. Here's another one I purchased blindly without trying it on. I know what you're thinking, I should try these on before I buy. I don't have the patience though and when I'm home I like to create a full look to see it pulled together. When I'm out running errands I usually only have eyebrows on, and concealer. You can't get a good picture with a bare face. You need your game face(I call it my mask :D ) on to see how the end results will look. Having said that, the KA highlighter doesn't show up on my skin. I have to use ALOT for it to be visible. Plus the brush included is useless! I'll go back to Dior Amber Diamond or even the Hourglass Ambient Light in Luminous.
