Max Factor Face Finity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation 75 golden 30ml

Image
I have always been a fan of Max Factor brand. This foundation does what it says on the packaging. It provides primer, concealer and foundation all in one. The shade golden 75 matches well with my yellow olive skin colour (with a hint of beige). The formula is neither too thin nor too thick. It gives a good coverage and blends easily into the skin. I apply it with my fingers (fast and easy). This foundation makes my skin look even and smooth. Also it gives a great oil control. I can't say that it is the healthiest foundation but it does the job very well. You can use it with silicon primer or moisturiser. Ingredients : Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Propylene Glycol, Talc, Dimethicone, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Sodium Chloride, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, PVP, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Ethylene/Methacrylate Copolymer, Trihydroxystearin, Arachidyl Behenate, Methicone, Silica, Sodium Benzoate,Synthetic Wax, Cetyl...

Avon magiX face perfector/ perfector de teint

Image
Unscented. Colourless. Contains SPF 20. 30ml. It is very similar to Avon magiX compact smoothing primer . The texture feels thin and creamy. I wish it could be thick and less creamy (dry), it would give a better oil control.

Avon magix compact smoothing primer/ couche de base compacte lissage pour la peau

10 g. Unscented. It's a silicon-based primer. I apply it over Phillips ® Milk of Magnesia to keep my skin matte for as long as possible. I use my fingers to apply this primer. Since it's a silicon primer it may feel a bit heavy but it smooths out enlarged pores and wrinkles quite well. I prefer to use a powder foundation with this primer. In my opinion the texture (formula) could be a bit drier. It would give a better oil control. I try to wear silicon based primer occasionally since it can cause a mild irritation on the skin.

MAMONDE Pang Pang Hair Shadow 07 / 마몽드 팡 팡 헤어 섀도우 07 라이트 브라운

Image
Unscented. It's a matte hair shadow. This is a solid brown shade. I use this shade for my light brown hair. The sponge that comes with the product works just great. I tried to apply it with a brush or fingers and it wasn't right. You need to get a good amount of product on the sponge and press it into the scalp. I apply it only to the areas that have at least some hair which creates more natural look. You can wipe any excess hair shadow with a tissue or fingers. I think it needs a bit of practice to get the hang of it.  You can easily wash it off with soap and water.

innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Pact / 이니스프리 노세범 미네랄 팩트

Image
8.5 g. Unscented.   6-free system : no paraben, talc, artificial colour, animal ingredients, mineral oil, artificial fragrance. This powder is very affordable. It has a great mattifying power. The texture is smooth and fine. It is suitable for sensitive skin and it doesn't break me out. I use a brush to apply it. Even though it is a transparent powder I avoid using it as a finishing powder since it makes my skin pale/ white. Instead I use it as a base powder before applying a tinted one which helps to reduce a white cast. Ingredients: MICA, SILICA, ETHYLENE/ACRYLIC ACID COPOLYMER, CORN STARCH MODIFIED, POLYETHYLENE, OCTYLDODECYLSTEAROYL STEARATE, SQUALANE, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE,ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, DIMETHICONE, MINERAL SALTS, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT

ARITAUM Color Lasting Tint No.11 dancing red / 아리따움 컬러 래스팅 틴트

Image
4.5 g. It has a cherry peachy scent and sweet flavour that isn't too strong. I think this lip tint is just great. The applicator is very easy to use because of its unique shape. You get just the right amount of the product out of the tube. The texture isn't heavy or drying. The colour is buildable. I like that it looks quite natural and blends in well. This tint can be both matte and glossy. It does stain your lips. The stain lasts long.

the SAEM Eco Soul Luminous Photoshop Pact / 에코 소울 루미너스 포토샵 팩트

Image
11g. Scented. SPF 25 PA ++ This powder comes in a fancy and sturdy packaging. This powder turns out to be even better than I thought it would. I don't regret buying it. The texture is smooth and silky. It does work as a blur. It won't make your pore disappear but it will cover them lightly and make them less noticeable. The coverage is sheer to light. I use it as a setting powder because it gives me a natural matte finish. This powder is easy to apply; I use a puff or a brush. By the way the puff works really great. 고마워 for reading!

Kanebo Allie Extra UV Gel Mineral Moist NEO Sunscreen

Image
40 g. It's a milky gel type (not a clear gel) sunscreen. The texture isn't sticky or heavy. It applies easily and it doesn't leave a white sheen like most sunscreens. It didn't break me out. It's mineral based sunscreen and you need a very small amount which means it's pretty inexpensive. I like it a lot.
