I'm All About That Base! [Review]

makeup primer

Finally, it's my review of Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Base Eclat Radiant Primer! I have been using this for a while now, not all the time because I don't use a primer with my CC creams, I only have the habit of using a primer if I choose to apply a foundation that day. Especially during those-time-of-the-month, the more you'll need a trusty primer due to all the possible open/large pores prevailing on our skin. 

Like a painter prepares a smooth canvas with a basecoat, primers help to prepare our skin by providing a more even skin surface for you to work your makeup magic on. STEP1 Skin EQUALIZER is an equalizer that can balance out every skin to provide perfect texture and the best possible base to apply foundation.

The Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer comes with 6 formulas answer to 6 issues - shining, dehydration, dryness, redness, dilated pores and fine line, and lack of radiance - tailor-made for each woman. These Equalizer Complex delivers 3 key actions:
  1. Application - makeup goes on seamlessly
  2. Result - optimised colour and finish
  3. Wear - longer  foundation staying power
I choose the Radiant Primers as it's made to colour correct according to skin tone giving what looks like new bare skin. It also transform radiance levels and bring more hydration and light to the face. It neutralises imperfections and banishes dullness which is something that I need for my skin.

I truly have been really liking this primer as it really makes my foundation looks absolutely beautiful, as if I'm poreless. My skin looked so smooth like I've never seen before. I only apply them on the areas of my cheeks, nose, forehead, tiny bit on the undereye and chin. Pretty much areas where my pore are more visible or you can apply according to the star mapping on your face, concentrating on the centre part of the face.

If you are wondering why I don't use this with a BB or CC cream, it's because those creams usually comes with that "blur" skin ingredients or mainly due to the fact that they always (mostly) finishes dewy. Naturally, dewy skin will somewhat give you a more moist, poreless look as more light is reflected from your dewy skin. Thus, it really doesn't make sense for me to use this MUFE primer under a BB or CC cream.

I really do suggest to use this under a matte foundation, this is where you can really see what a huge difference it makes with and without a primer.

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.

The Immense Pressure, The Exploitations, And The Gratifications Of A Malaysian Blogger

My beautiful yet talented girlfriend of mine took this photo of me :) Thank you. Warning: This might be a long and wordy blogpost with a genuine intention to mainly express my thoughts as a blogger who has been in the industry for quite some time. This post is certainly not by anyway trying to shame any brands or PR companies, if name(s) are mentioned, it's because that incident actually happened. I think it's about time I said something. I used to stop myself from writing these kind of somewhat controversial blogpost because I was afraid to rock the boat or offend anyone. Enough is enough.
