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.

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

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.
