Well my favorite foundation is Lancome Color Ideal .. I love it , because It suites my skin so well , no breakout , no shiny face ... perfect matte finish , almost barely visible ..
I bought it from Denmark .. It blends so so well , I have MAC's foundation too , but that is a bit too yellow for me , and I have kept it for parties only , But I can wear Lancome foundation daily :)

REVIEW : Mac Studio Fix Fluid

Girls , I was not fond of using foundation a few months ago , But now I am including foundation in my daily makeup happy

,I know its not good , but who cares ??? laughing

Be it , liquid, powder, mineral , compact or even tinted moisturizer ... But I use it silly

Today , I am giving a quick , and brief review about MAC Studio Fix Fluid.

I bought it for Rs.3600/- ... wtf

I know its too pricey for a 30 ml foundation, but MAC is MAC winky

I am shade NC 30 .. After a long long research on shades of this foundation , I finally gathered courage to try this shade on myself, as there was no tester available so I had to pick it up blindly ! Thanks God, I got the right one ! happy

COVERAGE:

1.Buildable, builds coverage easily and quickly.

2.Small amount is enough

3.When applied with fingers, gives a sheer coverage , but with my MAC 187 duo fibre brush ( See it HERE ), It gives me perfect smooth coverage

One pic ( left ) shows foundation on my wrist , and right sided pic shows blended !!

FORMULA:

1.Very right , not too solid type not too liquid .

2.Easy to blend.

SUN PROTECTION:

SPF 15

STAYING POWER:

Great , even after working hours, It feels fresh happy

PRICE :

High . Even in USA , its of 26$ bitter

SHADES:

Available in many shades to chose from , One may be just perfect for you. Comes in 23 shades , as available online, with NC15 being the lightest and NW55 being the darkest .

NC : Neutral cool , for skins who have yellow undertones.

NW: Neutral Warm , for skins who have pinkish undertones.

Original Macy's Label silly

PROS:

1. Lovely coverage.

2. Easy to blend

3. Oil free

4. Contains specially treated micronized pigments and soft-focus powders for a super-smooth look that helps minimize the appearance of imperfections.

5. Contains special skin-conditioning ingredients.

CONS:

1. Pricey

2. Small bottle , only 30 ml

3. Does not come with a pump

4. Gives me too pale (yellow) color sometimes, if not worked into skin properly . angry

So, would you go for it and spend this much money on it ???? well , in some sense , it's worth it , after all It's MAC laughing

Left = Without foundation

Right = MAC studio Fix Fluid and powder

GLAM NEWBIE : Luscious High Definition Mineral Foundation

Hey girls , Luscious Cosmetics has launched its latest innovation .. and this time they came up with High Definition Mineral Foundation :)
I am liking this alot , I hope I will surely give it a try..

LUSCIOUS COSMETICS SAYS :

We all know about the mineral makeup revolution that has swept the beauty industry. I have been working on a breakthrough mineral makeup formula for the past year and it is now ready for you to enjoy! I would like to proudly present to you the new Luscious High Definition Liquid Mineral Foundation. Read on to learn more about this fabulous new product.

Luscious Cosmetics proudly present High Definition Mineral Foundation, a silky, lightweight foundation made from pure minerals with all the benefits of a skincare treatment. The soft-matte formula is infused with minerals, vitamins and deep sea water and contains no oil, talc or fragrance which makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This product has been created to provide all the benefits of mineral makeup without compromising on coverage or staying power, and minimizes pores and imperfections for a High Definition finish.

Price: Rs.1175

What is Mineral Makeup?
Mineral makeup products are made from natural minerals derived from the earth or the ocean, and are formulated without fragrances, binders, synthetic dyes, and preservatives that are present in standard makeup formulas. This means that mineral makeup formulas are much gentler on your skin, ideal for all skin types, even sensitive skin, and actually improve the texture of your skin as you continue to use the product. It is the ideal balance of makeup+skincare and helps your skin retain a healthy water balance while minimizing pores and evening out skin imperfections.

The Luscious Difference
Most mineral makeup formulas are available in powder form, and after testing these powders I came to the conclusion that they don't provide the ideal coverage and silkiness that I personally look for in my foundation. The powdered texture tends to be quite sheer and if you apply too many layers it tends to look cakey and ghost-like on your skin.
As you know, at Luscious our main aim is to make high-performance makeup, and our High Definition Mineral Foundation is the perfect mix of high-performance makeup and pure mineral benefits!

High Definition Makeup

It is the time of High Definition: everything around us like TV, cameras and photography is rapidly converting to the high definition format. In makeup terms this means a high performance formula that evens and perfects your complexion while remaining invisible and super lightweight. Our High Definition Mineral Foundation is on the cutting edge of makeup technology by incorporating High Definition results with Mineral benefits.

Luscious High Definition Mineral Foundation is now available in stores nationwide and online orders at www.iloveluscious.com

THE SHADE GUIDE: Choosing the right shade

The right foundation can make your skin look naturally flawless and smooth, without looking like you are wearing any makeup at all. A good foundation will make your skin look fresh and healthy without appearing heavy on your skin. Luscious High Definition Mineral Foundation does all of this while remaining lightweight and invisible.

The below tips are essential for a flawless complexion:

-Use your foundation to perfect and polish your skin tone, not to change it.

- I always recommend applying a stripe of foundation starting from your jawline towards your cheek to test if it is a good match.

- If you are still unsure, try one shade darker or lighter on the other side of your face and compare both shades.

Luscious High Definition Mineral Foundation is available in 5 self-adjusting shades. Self-adjusting means that the lightweight texture of this foundation allows it to be extremely blendable and will adapt to your skin, as long as you use the shade that is closest to your natural skin tone.

We have numbered each shade so you can easily see the lightest to darkest range, and I strongly recommend selecting a shade that is close to your natural skin color/shade. This foundation is formulated to brighten and even out your complexion, for best results use a shade that is close to your natural skin color.
