Beauty Product Reviews
HG of concealers I would say
I use a variety of MAC foundations and I find often the colours vary significantly according to the finish of the foundations. So using this concealer with the foundation as I have seen some gurus do or using it on top of your foundation REALLY helps to make sure your made up face looks true to your skin colour. I love the richness of the tone that comes with the MAC Pro Longwear concealer, I use this on top of my Laura Mercier Oil Free TM and it looks GREAT!
Long lasting, great finish
I have oily skin so I prefer long wearing products with a matte finish. And the Studio Finish concealer does just that. I use this mostly for defining my eyebrows but it also works well for spot coverage, just be sure to pat it on rather blending it in otherwise it won't cover the blemishes.
Great for legs on a night out or for feet
I love this product, I mix it with my Jergens Naturals Ultra Hydrating body moisturiser and put it on my feet. It helps to keep my feet soft between pedicures. If you want to keep your feet moisturised when going to sleep particularly in the winter, apply this and then wear socks, they should be very soft in the morning. Be careful not to do it too often because some people sweat a lot at night and susceptible to foot fungus from lack of fresh air. It smells great and on winter night out when your legs are out it's a great product to apply straight after you step out of the shower.
Multipurpose brush - well worth the buy
Like many of the ladies have mentioned here, it is a tad bit scratchy but that is because I use it with some liquid products. It is VERY handy for buffing in foundation, it helps a lot for evening out the product and with this brush you do not need a lot of product to get your desired effect. I use it undereye as well, the difference in overall finish of my makeup is major after using this brush. I have only been earnestly using it for a week and I love, love, love, love this brush!
How people work without this
I love this product. I use this in NC50 it over my MAC Select Foundation because I find the foundation in NC50 is quite yellow in its tone and the concealer helps to bring some more colour to my face and even out the dark spots. NC45 works really well for an undereye highlight and and under the eyebrows for definition.
Does what it says on the bottle, FIXES your makeup
This product has helped my face look flawless no end. I will take up the tip made by Maribel to not use too much which I think I am guilty of. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff. I've heard that M.A.C staff use it wake themselves up when they are at work. I use it to give that dewy effect after I have done my best to ensure my makeup looks its best.
Very gentle cleanser
This has to be the least non-invasive method of cleansing. I have oily skin and I have tried everything under the sun but this has worked really well for me. If you are not familiar with the press and roll technique required to use this cleanser feel free to watch the tutorial video on the Dr Hauschka website. It helped me no end. Along w/ the use of the muslin recommended, it's a very gentle way to cleanse.
Very gentle makeup remover
I got sent a sample of this and I am telling you, THIS is the way to remove makeup. I compared my skin with when I removed my makeup with baby wipes and when I used this and the difference is pretty significant. This is Dr Hauschka's equivalent of the Dermalogica PreCleanse, it melts the makeup off just as well. It helps to give your face the perfect canvas in preparation for cleansing. Again very moisturising.
I swear by this primer
I have oily skin and I originally used to use Avon Magix Face Protector. I changed my skin regimen and I saw my natural skin was improving as were my levels of excess sebum. So I thought it best to switch primers and thereafter my foundation went on like a DREAM! I mean I am still oily however the improvement is significant. Like many of the ladies have already mentioned you only need a pea-sized amount.
