Illamasqua Cream Foundation | JanBlog #31
Evening all,
It's a right miserable evening I must say. Are we due any nice weather at all? This January has apparently been the worst in a very long time. Anywho, onto my blog.
I have heard so much about the Illamasqua foundations and had to try one but didn't want to splurge the cash on the chance I might not like it. In their recent sale, I got a cream foundation for £5. Woohoo.
This packaging is huge. So much to deal with but it's what makes them stand out and so unique. You get a small sponge for application which is a very nice touch.
Now onto the foundation itself.
When I opened the box I was frightened haha. It looks so peachy to me. I thought they got the wrong colour but no. I picked CF150 as it's for light to medium skin with pink undertones. I am fair but not pale, I have redness on my cheeks and nose and I am pretty beige elsewhere. The majority of my face is red though.
I used this foundation this morning and was really frustrated with it. How did I end up using it? A wet beauty blender did the trick. I just tapped it onto my skin but beforehand I sprayed Urban Decay De Slick. This worked a treat thank goodness. I would say it is a medium coverage but wouldn't build it up in fear it looks cakey.
Look out for a demo midweek on my YouTube channel. So make sure to subscribe hehe.
Have a good weekend. Also, this was the last day of blogging everyday in Jan.
Lots of love,
