Foundation and powder are meant to conspicuously hide imperfections and not bring them out. That’s why cakey uneven looking powder or foundation is such an annoyance! If powder or liquid foundation looks cakey on your skin, it may not be just the fault of a product you are using. One of the most common reasons for cakey looking powder is dry skin. When skin is dry, dehydrated or you have not
Okay, so I may not know what gloss Vanessa Hudgens has on, but I sure will tell you about the gloss I was asking you guys to guess, earlier on. Most of you were right ! These are the New Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay Gloss from Rimmel London .
The two shades I tried were Dream On and Lustrous Nude. One is perfect for day wear and the perfect for night, one perfect for light -medium skin and the other great for medium – dark skin . I just really wanted to get colors that would work for me in Summer (i,e) nothing dark. Dream On is the one for deep brown skinned beauties. It is a gorgeous bronzy shade that shows up very well on pigmented lips, given its opacity. Lustrous nude is a opaque flesh colored nude gloss that will look gorgeous on light – medium skin tones. It has got a hint of peach /pink to it so it will not wash out anybody.
The glosses themselves are some of the best long staying glosses I’ve tried. And I’ve tried the lot from NYC, Milani, MAC and Maybelline. Unlike everything else, this gloss does not give the super dry, sucking-the-moisture-outta-my-lips feeling that I got with every other long stay gloss. It is just like a regular gloss to apply. Absolutely no streaks and you can even purse your lips together with this one and nothing disastrous happens ! Its the same routine, you apply the color first and the shimmer transparent gloss on top of it. It seriously stays on for hours together ! It does not wash off with water. You will need a makeup remover and a cotton pad.
Overall for $7.99, these make for excellent substitutes to the $21 long stay glosses !
