Fenty Beauty: Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint
Well, it’s been over three years since I blogged about a Fenty Beauty foundation. Some might say it’s been over three years since I blogged and they’d be absolutely right. I mean, it feels like it was that long ago. What can I say? Life gets in the way, work consumes me and then we’ve…

Foundation Files: Estee Lauder – Double Wear revisited
Over a year ago I penned my thoughts on Estee Lauder’s Double Wear foundation. You can read the post for this right here. What I didn’t elaborate on was how I was colour matched three times (twice at The Estee Edit shop and once at the Estee Lauder ‘Foundation the Nation’ campaign event). I was…

Foundation Files: NYX Total Control Drop Foundation
NYX’s Total Control Drop Foundation has been in my sight for some time and finally I’ve tried it so I can let you know what I think. I consider NYX an affordable brand that produces high quality results and based on the price point of their liquid lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes and everything else. The foundation…

Foundation Files: Sleek Lifeproof Foundation
I heard Sleek had a new foundation in its arsenal and the chatter around the beauty blogging world had me gagging to try it. Actually, this foundation was recommended to me by Maryam Sofia, blogger and make-up artist whose skin was simply glowing when I met her. Straight away she told me she was wearing…

Foundation Files: EX1 Cosmetics Invisiwear Liquid Foundation
In 2013, I was introduced to EX1 Cosmetics’ Invisiwear Foundation (you can read my review here). Created by biochemist, Farah Naz specifically for olive and tanned skin tones, the Invisiwear Foundation was only accessible online and at Topshop’s flagship store on Oxford Circus. As of January this year, it’s widely available in 184 Boots stores…

Foundation Files: Too Faced – Born This Way
When Too Faced launched their Born This Way foundation (a nod at Lady Gaga, yes?), there were mixed reviews. Usually anything remotely negative puts off but something persuaded me to give it a try and so I invested in a bottle a few months ago. I’m pleased the gamble paid off because for my normal…

Foundation Files: Estee Lauder Double Wear
Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation has recently rocketed its way to sit amongst my absolute favourites. Yes, it’s been around for donkey’s years and is the nation’s number one foundation but I had been afraid of it. Why? Basically I assumed a foundation known for full, heavy coverage was the stuff nightmares are made of…

Foundation Files: Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation
I have nothing but praise for Urban Decay’s eyeshadows. Every time they release a new palette it’s a guarantee I will buy it. When it comes to foundations, the relationship has been a little ambivalent and I think that stems from finding the right match, which in the case of Urban Decay isn’t as straightforward…

Foundation Files: Urban Decay Naked Skin
Roll up, roll up, it’s time for another in-depth look at a foundation. This time it’s my favourite brand, the ubiquitous Urban Decay under scrutiny. Urban Decay’s major coup is without a doubt the Naked franchise. It’s spearheaded an obsession for neutrals and led to endless imitations from rivals yet Urban Decay remains the original and the…
