Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation Review

"Maybelline New SuperStay Better Skin Energizing Vitamin Formula FLAWLESS FINISH FOUNDATION" -Maybelline!

This is my new go to foundation, I used to always go for the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (Which I still do love) but I got a sample of this foundation in my ELLE magazine and fell in love as soon as I applied it to my skin...So I had to go ahead and buy the full product! The colour I'm using at the moment is 021 Nude, which is a little dark for my skin tone but I tested it out when I had fake tan on because I'ma genius like that, but it works after I've applied my powder.

I love the packaging, it's in a heavy glass bottle, it's a really simple shape and I love the hint of blue used in the font and on the pump. I prefer the look of it over my regular foundation just because I prefer the blue colour over orange. I prefer a pump over just pouring or squeezing the product out as no air can get in the product...So no bacteria can find it 's way in! I also purchased the concealer so I may review that later on.

The consistency is perfect not to thick and not to runny and it applies to the skin perfectly and I've tried using my Real Techniques buffing brush, my Real Techniques beauty blender and also my clean hands. It evened out my skin tone really well and made my skin look way better then any other foundation I have tried and you don't need to use a lot as the coverage is amazing but it's also buildable AND it doesn't look cakey...perfect foundation right?

It dries lovely on the skin, to quite a matte finish which I love as I'm so oily it's unreal, it lasts a lot longer than most foundations on my skin even without a primer, I tried the Maybelline Babyskin primer with this but didn't like it at all but I'll review that later. As for the better skin in 3 weeks as it claims on the bottle...I can say it has made my skin feel a lot better I'm not as oily and my skin tone has evened out...WOW!

So overall I have to say this is by far my favourite foundation I've ev
er put on my face, I won't be changing any time soon! I may change the shade as it's a little dark but that's my own fault for being such an idiot.

Be Daring And Go Red...Lipstick Of Course

Red lipstick is a must have in your beauty collection, whether it's matte or glossy; but what shade of red is best for you?

The perfect red lipstick has to complement your skin tone. Anybody with a paler skin tone should go for something with a hint or coral or orange, medium or bronze skin tones suit more of a pink/ cranberry under toned red lipstick but most lipsticks will suit you (Lucky girls) and for dark skin cool based reds look amazing. This doesn't always work for everybody though this is just a guide line, the best thing to do is actually try a few red shades out and see which you prefer.

How I wear my Lipstick?

So even though I'm quite fair skinned a tan easily so I can actually get away with most shades of red but orange does not work on my skin tone what so ever! I usually go for a true red or a plum red as these are my favourites.

I start off by applying a lip liner a similar colour to the lipstick I'm going to be wearing, I apply it around the edge of the lips first and then fill my lips in, then proceed to apply my lipstick. If I feel like my lipstick is to heavy I dab my lips on some tissue paper and then apply a slight bit of pressed translucent powder onto my the tissue paper while it's on my lips, this is because I prefer matte over gloss. So if you prefer gloss leave the last part out. You can then go ahead and conceal around your lips if you want them perfect but I never do I am way to lazy for that...And you're done!

Some of my favourite red lipsticks!

High End:

Dior Rouge in Blazing Red (Shade Number 638)

This lipstick is a perfect true red colour, it looks stunning on the lips and it also smells absolutely amazing. It's a very creamy formula and glides on smoothly...What else do you want from a true red lisptick!





YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in Prune on Fire (Shade number 18)

I love Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks, I especially love the volupte shine range even though they're incredible glossy it's my favourite lipstick of all time(So far). This lipstick smells like mango's...yummy, I've actually already reviewed this lipstick if you want to check it out click here




Drug Store:

Rimmel London Moisture renew in Diva Red (Shade 500)

Diva Red is a fairly deep shade of red it's also a lot more on the cool side, but it's a very beautiful colour, it's a similar colour to the Yves Saint Laurent prune on fire but cooler. It doesn't smell as great as the high end lipsticks it just smells like a plain old lipstick which isn't great but lipsticks aren't meant for smelling.




NYX LSS Round Lipsticks in Eros (Shade number 536)

In the picture to the left Eros actually looks like a true red but it has more of pink undertone when I swatch it against Dior's Blazing red shade. It's gorgeous colour but it doesn't last to long but it's a very affordable product you don't mind reapplying it every now and again through out the day. This lipstick barely has and smell to it which I prefer to that plain old lipstick smell, as I think it smells like a crayon.
