Revlon Photo Ready Compact Makeup Review

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a product that I think everyone should give it a miss if you have been thinking about it.

Revlon Photo Ready Compact Makeup in 200 Natural Beige

To be honest, I purchased this several months ago and did not use it. I bought it when I was still living in Sydney and took it over with me to Canada. I really should've save the space for something else instead!!!

Before

After

I have to apologise that the first picture is rather dark. However I didn't bother to take more because this product really didn't do anything!

I have red spots on my face from time to time and this product does absolutely nothing. The texture of the foundation is mousse like, it has a layer of net that apparently "liquifies" the product for complete coverage and superior blendablility. 

I applied it using a flat foundation brush, although it blends quite well and feels light, but my skin actually looked very similar to before. Also it has no staying power, an hour later my skin looks exactly the same as if there was nothing on it.

To summarise -

Pros: 

• Light weight
• Matte finish

Cons: 

• Absolutely no coverage
• No staying power
• Pricey - most of the Photo Ready range are a little bit expensive but this product is definitely not worth your money

That's all for today! I hope this review helps some of you out there.

Blue - Green - Gold Look (featuring Sigma Paris Palette)

Hello there! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! 

Today I'm back with a tutorial featuring the Sigma Limited Edition Paris Palette, using mainly the eyeshadows and blush from it and just a few other products.

To begin with, I'll show you my bare face!

BEFORE

Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in Nude; Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki

Start your face with moisturiser or face primer, and then apply Revlon Photo Ready foundation using the flat top kabuki brush. Blend accordingly.

Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black; MAC 209SE Brush

Use this eyeliner to tight line (upper lid water line). The eyeliner is definitely a more affordable option compared to MAC Blacktrack fluid line. The only difference with this Maybelline eyeliner and MAC's, this has a slightly more dry consistency. Both eyeliners apply smoothly with no clumps.

MAC Rubenesque Paint Pot

Use this paint pot as a base for your eyeshadows to adhere. I found that paint pots do not last very long and generally crease after a few hours. For longer lasting make up, please apply an eye primer underneath.

Paris Make Up Palette: Colours used are Versailles, Seine, and Orsay; Blush: Peche

Sigma E35 Tapered Blending Brush

Use the eyeshadow brush from the palette and apply colour "Seine" (Dark blue) on the outer corner and lightly go across your upper lash line.

Next, apply colour "Versailles" (Light gold) on the inner corner and lid, overlapping "Seine" just a little bit using the same brush flipped.

Then, blend "Orsay" (Green) on your socket/ where the eyeshadow ends. Wipe the blending brush on the tissue and blend out all the colours to prevent your make up looking too harsh.

Try to focus at the outside rim of the colours rather than the lids as you want the colours to stay how they are. 

Finally, to complete the eyes, line the upper lash line and the outer corner of the lower lash line with Maybelline eyeliner in Blackest Black. Use L'oreal Double Extension Ultra-Lengthening + renewed look mascara.

Use the Angled brush from the palette and apply colour "Peche" on cheeks.
