Review : M.A.C MatchMaster Shade Intelligence compact.

The new Mac MatchMaster Shade intelligence Compact foundation dropped in stores in May

Comes in 12 different shades,(mostly warm shades)

Its innovative cushion and sheer liquid formula lends true-to-life shade perfection and coverage, while letting your natural skin show through. A cutting-edge delivery system allows the formula to be released in a superfine layer, providing a natural finish and sheer to medium buildable coverage. Launching with a spectrum of 12 light to deep dark shades.

The fascinating thing about the Cushion foundations is they are simply compact that come with a cushion applicator and a porous sponge saturated in liquid foundation.It’s designed to help make the application more even, to speed up the makeup process, and to allow for easy touch up on the go.

Packaging : 

The pact is slightly bulky because it contains the cushion and the puff! the puff is designed to be non-absorbent & to be carried around without worrying about getting the liquid
product everywhere.


Application : 

its easy and quick makeup application,you don’t need any extra tools or skills, all you need is your fingers or the applicator and pat away to get the most beautiful finish and glow. *the patting motion helps to create a flawless finish & the good thing about puff on cushion is that it allows for a very even distribution of product.

Coverage : 

I would say that you could build it to medium coverage before it looks cakey. 
After it sets, the foundation has a natural almost semi matte finish.

 

Overall,
Mac matchmaster would be great for those who prefer a more natural finish if they have the right shade.

*{{5.0 is 2-3 shade darker on me, however I managed by using lighter M.A.C concealer }}}

I think normal to combination skin will appreciate this most! Oily skin will definitely have to set with powder and blot throughout the day, As it may transfer 🙈 & we don’t want that right ?

It’s
•flawless &semi matte finish.
•fuss free and very beginner friendly.
•travel friendly.
Also, I pray for a long wear formula that is good for hot/ humid weathers.

Have you tried any cushion foundation before? do you like them ??

Review : Laura Mercier Flawless Contouring Palette.

Laura Mercier Launches New Flawless Contouring Palette
The Art Made Simple.

Lead the trend with a newly launched, exclusive Contouring Palette that brings Laura’s artistry techniques to life with ease.
Through her artisan lens and years of working as a professional makeup artist, Laura has carefully chosen these neutral shades in a darker range that help sculpt the face.

This palette of blendable creams delivers foolproof application every time. Shade intensity is much lighter than it appears, so it’s perfect for all skintones. Through her artisan lens, developed over years of working as a professional makeup artist, Laura Mercier has carefully chosen these neutral shades in a darker range to help sculpt the face. The key to everyday contouring is to be discrete. This Contouring Palette is designed to define and highlight your best features with five delicate, but buildable creams. The extraordinary formula is more blendable than typical contouring powders, allowing for a natural, flawless, and seamless application every time. For a complete flawless look, finish with the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.

This kit features five shades based on undertone and a step-by-step instruction card.

My thoughts

One of my favourite makeup products are Contouring and highlighting products!

It really helps to sculpt and enhance your features & make it selfie Ready 😉
This is the first cream contour product I’ve ever used and it was kinda fun.

I wasn’t sure if I would love it !! But trust me guys just first swatch of it made me change my mind .. It works AMAZINGLY great. You can actually see the contour without using too much of it.

It has that grey undertone that I need to contour, doesn’t skew muddy and red /orangey nor sparkly on my face.

Im not a big fan of cream highlighters because it really makes my makeup look blotchy 😐Which is not so attractive 😛

I try using this highlight #1 & #2 when i just need minimal makeup without using any setting powders.. And YASS 👍🏼 It stayed longer than I thought..

Most natural and long lasting and build able glowy effect !!!

How  To Use : I like to put it over liquid foundation using small stippling brush or angled brush and then I then set with a translucent powder, or contour powder for a more sculpted look, blends in beautifully and flawlessly,highly pigmented, It goes on sheer but you can build it up to whatever darkness you need AMAZINGLY

Overall, Laura Mercier Cream countour has the Superblendable formula, very buildable. These colors add instant light and glow and stay in place aaaall day looking super natural, without even using primer or setting spray.

Price: AED 232 

Available at all Areej stores across United Arab Emirates and Oman.

Kate Moss : #37

I must say this color totally caught my eye
Its orangy-coral 😁 

really flattering shade for every skintone ❤️

Overall,

I love the Rimmel london Lasting finish lipsticks by Kate Moss, I have almost all the colors from her collection..Both #35 & #37 goes well with loads of different make-up looks Day or night

it smells so good & the creamy formula feels comfortable on lips,
Perfect bright and fresh colors great for summer.
