The complexion perfectors transforming our skin.
Skindinavia The Makeup Primer Spray – Caitlin
What it is: A silicone-free makeup primer spray.
My experience: This spray on primer is genius. It creates a silky base, smoothing over any imperfections and prepping the skin for foundation application, without any messy fingers. It also prevented my makeup from melting into my oily skin throughout the day.
Chi Chi Highlighting & Contouring Palette – Georgie
What it is: An 8 shade palette containing 4 contouring shades and 4 highlighting shades.
My experience: I am going through a real highlighting phase at the moment so was very excited to try this palette. The quality of the product is excellent, the powders are nicely pigmented and the colours are beautifully natural. I also love the fact that the each shade is numbered and in the lid of the palette are corresponding directions and application tips. This is a highlighting and contouring novice’s dream and I can imagine is a real hit with the Millennial makeup junkies!
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Total Cover Concealer Palette – Zoe
What it is: A concealer and cover-correcting palette that offers 24-hour full coverage.
My experience: Not only was this palette super-sleek and easy to use (it comes with instructions!) but I loved how the shades could be combined to combat a multitude of skin problems. The green was perfect for covering the redness on my cheeks, and the beige tones made hiding blemishes a breeze. Plus, the formula isn’t super cakey so it sits under foundation perfectly.
Nude by Nature Pressed Matte Mineral Bronzer – Issy
What it is: A matte, mineral bronzer that also helps to moisturise and protect skin.
My experience: This compact is a multi-use product! The bronzer is perfect for highlighting my cheekbones plus it also works great as an eyeshadow that compliments my brown eyes. When applied over primer, it lasts the full working day! It was a nice touch to my olive skin in winter to give warmth and colour.
M.A.C Mineralize Timecheck Lotion – Natasha
What it is: A moisturiser designed to blur lines and reduce the appearance of pores for hydrated skin, short and long term.
My experience: This moisturiser applies beautifully! The charged water technology hydrates while the gel-lotion texture cooled and refreshed my skin as I rushed to get out the door. The result is a smooth base for my makeup, in which lines are visibly reduced and pores are improved in appearance. My skin feels hydrated and comfortable throughout the day.
Australis Cosmetics Liquid Strobe Illuminating Drops – Laura
What it is: Pearlescent illuminating drops that can be used to highlight, brighten and enhance any makeup look.
My experience: These shimmery, pink drops perfectly suit my lighter skin tone. After applying foundation, I blended 1-2 drops across my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and on my cupid’s bow. Instantly my skin was brightened and I was left with a radiant glow.
Designer Brands Rise & Prime Illuminating Primer – Tina
What it is: A gel-like primer that preps skin for a flawless foundation application while adding an instant glow.
My experience: This primer was perfect for me! The gel-like formula blends easily while the peach and rose gold light diffusing pigments gave my skin a subtle glow, leaving me with a smooth and radiant base for foundation.
Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot BBB Cream SPF30 – Steph
What it is: A beauty boosting balm that offers an HD foundation, anti-ageing moisturiser and a 30+ sunscreen in one.
My experience: I love anything that speeds up my morning routine and this smooth, all-in-one lotion is the perfect product for great skin in seconds! Offering light coverage, this makes my complexion look more even and radiant while the moisturizer keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day. The SPF 30 is an added bonus and makes this a great go-to for light makeup days or a great base for fuller-coverage looks.
Real Techniques by Sam & Nic Chapman Miracle Sculpting Sponge – Bianca
What it is: A small, precision sponge for contouring and highlighting.
My experience: I am loving sponges at the moment – they have really changed the way I apply makeup. What I loved about this sponge in particular is that you can use it to apply both cream and powdered products and it assists with blending these to create a perfect complexion.
