memilovesmakeup: As promised...

Hello Beauties!

As promised from my earlier post, here is my mini Make Up For Ever haul after the Master Class I took on February 22^nd at the Make Up For Ever Academy.

Mat Velvet Foundation in #25: This foundation was color matched to my lighter skin tone and the consistency is a little thicker than my current foundation, giving light to medium coverage. Because I usually purchase foundation that is “luminating”, the matte finish is something I need to get used to, but I like it.

HD Blush in color #410: The new HD blush is a cream and goes on beautifully, just place two or three dots (at the most) on the cheek and blend, blend, blend (in other words, use a light hand when applying). Here is a striped swatch and also blended.

Aqua Brow in #35: I’ve only been filing in my brow for about one year now but I’ve only used a combination of powder and brow pencil in brown. I purchased the Aqua Brow at the suggestion of the lead teacher but I was a little skeptical because #35 is a taupe color but I thought he is the lead teacher so he must know what he is talking about and I was right and so glad that I listened. That color matched my skin tone perfectly. Who knew!

Silver Palette: This palette is used for mixing everything from foundation to concealer and everything in between.

Aqua Cream Liner in Black: This gel liner applied nice and smooth and also lasted all day without fading or smudging. In other words, it’s a keeper.

Camouflage Palette: I was very impressed with is palette because used not only for concealing, but for highlighting as well. The great part is you take the colors you need to mix and match to your skin tone whether you are concealing and/or highlighting.

Embryolisse: I have not yet used this moisturizer but I’ve read nothing but good things about it. It is supposed to be the perfect base under the primer so when the foundation is applied, it looks flawless.
