Santa Fe Skin

The journey to finding the perfect foundation has been a long, tiring and very disappointing one. Trying everything from the shelves of Boots and Superdrug with little confidence that what I'd just purchased wouldn't make me look like an extra from The Walking Dead. 

But with the help of a job in the beauty industry where I get an education on what's good, bad, new and old I think my quest is over. 

We've all heard of NARS before and my new favourite foundation is the Sheer Matte Foundation in Santa Fe. Described as a medium toned foundation, the formula goes on lightly and provides me with effortless coverage (also a big help from my RealTechniques face brush needs to be noted)

Suiting my skin whether I'm wearing tan or having a bit of time off the brown stuff, this is a foundation I'd recommend to all of you.

They also do a Sheer Glow Foundation which I will be purchasing for the summer when I want something a little lighter for my complexion. 

You can buy this and much more from NARS at HQHair

Have you tried NARS foundations before? Which foundation do you use?

RealTechniques Expert Face Brush

So for a while now I've been seeing RealTechniques pop up everywhere. Bloggers just can't seem to get enough of them! So I had to get in on the action.


 I recently purchased the RealTechniques Expert Face Brush from HQHair to replace my somewhat lacking foundation brush that I was using at the time. 
 I've got to say I'm pretty impressed by this brush, quick and easy application without absorbing any coverage! I can't recommend it enough.

I use it for my concealer as well as my foundation and it's a life saver.

Created by pro make up artist Samantha Chapman, you can clearly see when using these that they are created by an expert. Using high tech materials such as hand cut Taklon bristles (which are also cruelty free), to provide you with precise and even coverage. 

If you haven't tried any of the brushes yet then I highly recommend you do.
