Hi there peeps, i'm pretty new here and haven't posted much, but i love make up, although i'm not too good with it, hehe. I need some advice and recco's, and i figured you peeps are the best to ask! :icon_love
Due to a great skincare routine, my skin is finally clearing up, and i want to change my make up to lighter, more natural stuff. I've found some eyeshadow i like (estee lauder pure colour in sandbox) and i'm planning to but some estee lauder XL mascara soon. I also found a great blush, the body shop cheek stain, very cheap and apparently, very like benetint!
But i need some help with foundation and powders. I wanna get that glowy, natural look, preferably something i can mix with my foundation, (i use revlon colorstay, very heavy, but i like to mix it with highlighters to get adjustable coverage incase my skin gets a bit temperamental!) I don't like those highlighters that are glittery, i just want to look sort of glowy, but i also need powder as i hate my skin to feel at all oily! I have tried so far -
revlon skinlights lotion - a bit glittery and heavy and the perfume stung!
revlon skinlights loose powder - far too glittery and unnatural
clinique all over lustre - far too glittery
body shop glow enhancer - no glitter (thankfully!) but unnoticeable
estee lauder lucidity loose powder - too matte, no 'diffusing' at all!
I think i have maybe been looking at the wrong things
and that highlighter is not what i'm after, but a pearly, illuminator type thing instead, so am considering -
estee lauder spotlight
estee lauder illuminations powder pallete, the pinky one!
mac strobe light
mac skin finishes
benefit moon/high beam
any thoughts? I am quite pale, but plan to get tanned soon
, and have freckles and brown hair and eyes. So please someone help me! And please excuse my dumbness!
