My New Favorite

These match the shades of the Ellis Faas foundation to a T. The coverage is surprisingly sufficient. Highly pigmented, I've found I can use it under the eyes and also on blemishes with little fuss. Blends like a dream and just like the foundation, leaves a pretty glow. Word of advice on using the Ellis Faas Pens. Every click you make to get it started must be done with care. If you get in a hurry or lose patience and start making multiple clicks all at once the product will catch up eventually and it will over dispense out of the brush. Be very careful. It's expensive and you won't want to waste a drop.

Ethereal.

This is one of the prettiest foundations on the skin that I've ever used. There is not a lot of coverage. You can build it to almost medium. I don't really see shimmer in this but once it is on my skin there is a pretty, youthful glow. I have combination skin and find it to wear very well. It doesn't move into my pores or fine lines. I like it enough that I feel the larger bottle is definitely worth the cost once I use all of the wand. Word of advice on using the Ellis Faas Pens. Every click you make to get it started must be done with care. If you get in a hurry or lose patience and start making multiple clicks all at once the product will catch up eventually and it will over dispense out of the brush. Be very careful. It's expensive and you won't want to waste a drop. It does come with an extra bullet of foundation which is a plus.

Soft and natural. Great for daytime.

This creates that soft glow you see in celebrity photos. It's not overly shimmery, or garish. Nor will it look like a stripe of white on your skin. Great for day and also photography.

If you are looking for a clean foundation with coverage, this is it!

I had to try this. Had to. And I really thought I would dislike it. I was so wrong. I cannot believe a product with such a clean list of ingredients can give such great coverage and beautiful finish. It's on the heavy side, but not uncomfortable at all. It's just not the water thin formulas that are spoiling us with their breakthrough technology and long list of ingredient names that we can't pronounce, LOL! Keeping that in mind, I still think it is a breakthrough for the natural cosmetic world. Perfect as a concealer too.

One of the best!

This is a great facial oil. The smell is divine. It absorbs fairly quickly and the ingredient list reads like a Who's Who of the Creme de la Creme. I have combination skin and find that I do better to leave this off of my T Zone. It does not break me out and leaves my skin glowing.

Perfect for MUA's and contouring divas!

When I first started out I bought one of these palettes due to the expense of building a kit. I never thought I would fall so much in love with it that I would continue to purchase it long after I was established. These are highly pigmented. They make a mixing medium but I started using a lightweight moisturizer to thin out the coverage as needed and still get great results. Make sure to get yourself a little tray so you can mix custom colors or thin it down for those that only need a very light coverage. It is especially handy to contour with. So many shades to choose from and something for everyone!

The only product that works on my breakouts

Only one time in my life had I found a product that cleared my blemishes and it was by Darphin and of course, they discontinued it. I held off on trying Indie's Blemish Stick for a long time. I kept thinking it was overhyped. How unfortunate for me and my skin. I have combination skin that occasionally breaks out, usually around "that time" of the month. It can be anything from a cyst or a run of the mill blemish. This product has cleared them all for me. I panic if I think I am running low. Be sure to apply it each time on clean skin. Otherwise you will pull oils and product from your face and it will end up clouding the tube. Wish there was another delivery system for it because of this but I've had no issues. Love it!

Perfect for my combination skin.

Do you just feel inundated with oils lately? It's everywhere you look. Sheepishly, if you were to look in my bathroom cabinet you would find almost 10. Just for the face. I have fallen in love with Indie's Squalane Oil. I had to do a little research first and was impressed with her sourcing. On the face, it disappears quickly. There is nothing left behind to bind with your primer and make a big mess of your foundation. It hydrates beautifully! I mix it in with my moisturizers and love the results. Also I want to mention that my hands are getting that awful crepe-y dryness that no lotion can seem to penetrate. This oil is the only product I have ever found that takes it away. I was amazed. Won't be without it now.

Airbrush without the Airbrush!

1. Apply your foundation with clean fingers, brush, however you normally apply. 2. Saturate Beauty Blender in water. 3. Squeeze excess water from her. 4. Wrap a Kleenex around her to blot water again. 5. Roll it around your face with the palm of your hand (don't drag, roll). 6. Marvel in the mirror at your perfect skin:)

Rivals the placement and sharp definition of a much more expensive product.

If you are a fan of the Universal Brow Pencil by Dior then you will love paying less for this product that works just as good. I must have turned 7 or 8 of my friends onto the Universal Pencil. It was never quite the right color for me and so I started branching out for something that was just as finely tipped. I found it. The Ash Blonde color doesn't turn that unattractive salmon color on my pale skin. It does seem to darken a bit after oxidation but stays in the blonde tone and lasts until I take it off. Love, Love, Love it!
