Beauty Product Reviews

very nice glow!

I loved this product all summer long not only on clients but on myself (which is a big deal since I actually don't like to wear makeup hahahaha). On my own VERY pale skin I would apply it over a pink toned blush which toned down the colour and gave me a natural looking bronzed glow. Loved the effect and the packaging and presentation is pretty friggin gorgeous.

just okay

I have given this primer a chance by using it in my kit for the better part of 3 months and while it works alright for some skins it's not great on everyone. I've found that on certain skins the product seems to breakdown and cause some flaky looking patches on the skin. For the amount of work required to make it work for every skin the benefits just aren't there. It's not that amazing that I'm willing to work with it.

For under eyes this concealer is amazing. It keeps the skin looking hydrated and radiant. However it will need to be set with a powder to avoid it settling in fine lines. On blemishes the coverage may not be enough and in addition to that the tone of No. 1 Fair is too pink for covering redness. However the pink tinge is great for counteracting any blue under eye circles. A little goes a long way with this so I'd say it's a pretty good investment!

kit essential

I've been using this foundation in my kit for probably 5 years. I'll frequently switch between the regular formulation and using the MAC face and body mixing medium with concealers to make my own version of the face and body foundation. The result is the same though, lightweight, blendable and nearly undetectable perfection of the skin. Also for using it so frequently I love the size of the bottle as I don't have to restock every month. Gorgeous product.

makeup artist's must have

entirely amazing product. works on the skin to nourish and calm, works on the hair to tame and add shine. Great for mixing in a pinch to make powder products apply like liquids or creams

wouldn't be without it

so so good. from no-brainer everyday looks to extreme smokey eyes this palette has the most amazing versatility. don't love some of the really glitter shadows (sidecar... i'm lookin' at you...) but they have their place in certain makeup application techniques.
