 I am truly in love with this toner. It unclogs pores and keeps my skin clear. Also helps soothe my skin when it gets red .. And it Alcohol free .. Ahhhh-mazing👍

I absolutely love this serum. I have been using it for the last 3 months now and can see a marked improvement on my skin. I have pretty deep lines on my forehead, but these have reduced since I started using it. I apply every morning before my moisturiser, and night too , bit expensive but do give it a try by asking for samples❤️ it’s pretty cool stuff 👍

How To Find Your Perfect “Foundation” ?

~ Zahra S ~ 2 Comments

Hey sweethearts 💖

Just a mini post today,

As I get so many questions about ” Best foundation ” , and ” How to find the perfect shade ”
2015/01/img_8040.jpg

phewww … I know its not an easy task to find your right shade !! Even i had hard times choosing the right shade for me when I started applying foundation,

Sometimes I looked like a Wax Figure , (oh boy trust me that doesn’t look cool)
When I actually came to know that how scary i was looking 😂 I started googling to gain some knowledge about ” choosing the right shade ” and for a flawless application 👍

Okay so, choosing a foundation isn’t that difficult , but definitely its just time consuming,

This is what I do before opening my wallet:

•There are different formulas for different –skin types•

Liquid foundation – All skin type
Powder foundation – normal – oily skin
mouse foundation – combination – Oily skin
Cream foundation : normal – dry skin
BB cream – All skin type

The whole point of wearing a foundation is to give us a smooth canvas, to hide flaws and blur the appearance of pores.

Never try foundation that is too light or too darker than your skin , also don’t try to use foundation / powder to change the color your face ! It shows up in the camera or daylight which is so not pretty darling.

•Matching•

Avoid trying it on your arm, hand, or wrist, as these areas of the body can be different shades than your face.🙏
apply three different shades of foundation in vertical stripes, from the cheekbone to right below the jawbone.
And always go and check in the natural light
The shade that disappears and blends into the face and neck is the one for you.

•Coverage•

Sheer – lightest coverage for even out skin tone ,have a natural look for daily basis
Medium – To hide blemishes, discolorations or other minor imperfections.
Full – Hides imperfections/scars Best for photoshoots/ weddings

Start making the makeup appear completely Natural … By using the right shade and starting with a small amount of foundation to blend well 😘

I hope you find it helpful 👍

Will post my top favourite foundation’s soon 👍

Till then keep shining 😘

Xoxo

Review : Clarins True Radiance Foundation

~ Zahra S ~ 3 Comments

Hey Glamies ,

Like many others, I’m a huge fan of Clarins &
I was really excited to try it out.
The Clarins true radiance foundation..
2015/01/img_7726.jpg

Read more to find out what I have to say about it.


Clarins website :
True Radiance Foundation SPF 15
The light-infusing foundation: brightens and corrects the complexion
A lightweight, moisturising formula that glides onto skin perfectly, boosting natural radiance and luminosity.
• Reveals the skin’s natural luminosity with the anti-pollution action of Moringa seed plant extract
• Boosts natural radiance with light-reflecting pigments
• 24-hour hydration*: it infuses the epidermis with moisture to leave it glowing with vitality

My Thoughts
2015/01/img_8022.jpg

Packaging : Elegant & sleek clear glass bottLe ( 30 ML ) with a pump easy to get the product out ❤️

This is described as a luminous , lightweight fluid foundation with that smooths the skin with soft-focus pigments for a long-lasting finish

You guys, this stuff is FANTASTIC. It goes on effortlessly, and the formula is lightweight enough that I can’t feel it on my skin ,but
Immediately I notice its a bit liquid-y & it has a light floral scent to it. Which is okay for me !
I use a dense synthetic brush to buff this onto my skin, or a wet beauty blender (sometimes),

The coverage is medium to light,I’d still have to use a concealer if I wanted to disguise any spot,

This wears really well on my normal-to-dry skin. & Gives the most lovely luminous finish.

2015/01/img_8025.jpg

It comes in 10 shades ,
& If you are testing out shades, I recommend giving them a little extra time to set in-store before making a choice!

As for staying power This foundation lasts 5-6 hours on the skin.
2015/01/img_8026.jpg

So yes overall my feelings for this foundation is very positive,
It is joining my holy grail foundation lineup☺️I have very dry skin so for me, this is very hydratting
I recommend it for girls who do not like foundation, who are not looking for full coverage or any girl who doesn’t like pores & is looking for something fool-proof, doesn’t take too long to blend & looks like skin but of-course, better! &
It is quite reasonable for a luxury brand foundation❤️

What do you think about this foundation??
Do let me know

Much love
Zeee💋
