Tweet A liquid-powder highlighter with prismatic reflections that sculpts, highlights and models the face. The cool, creamy near-fluid formula creates a luminous, well-defined finish. Wears 10 hours.

As much as you’ll want Read More ...
TweetMAC Mineralize Skinfinish in “Lightscapade” is described as A luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish that’s a soft candlelit beige with multidimensional shimmer. The colors I’m seeing here just doesn’t seem to translate outside of the pan. I was expecting it to be slightly richer in color. It does give off a soft beige pigmentation, almost like a foundation or beauty powder. Most Mineralize Skinfinish powders are translucent in Read More ...
TweetPeople always ask how I feel about mineral makeup and loose foundation in general, and to be honest, I don’t. They’re always too heavy and cakey…I just can’t dig it. I’m also not a fan of the super matte look, so I often stray away as far as possible.

At first glance I would have thought MAC “Blonde” Mineralize Skinfinish would be too frosty, too pale, and too pink; almost like the perfect storm for a bad look. I was very wrong. I’m still not sure what made be even consider swatching this color because normally I wouldn’t give this a second glance, let alone Read More ...

Tweet I just wanted to post some swatches of Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Warm Radiance all-over-face-color (but it’s just a bronzer/ illuminator). I kind of gave up on that brand after being disappointed by Warmth, which made me look like a dirty mess…I seriously don’t know how fair girls make it look so good because I need a lesson. I gave them another chance and bought Warm Radiance ($19) which is Read More ...

Tweet You guys know I’m all about highlighters & illuminizers year around and I’m hooked on theBalm Mary Lou-Manizer Luminizer.
