Before I went to college I thought my makeup looked great! That was until I realised how much I was doing wrong.I never realised that you need certain foundations to suit certain skin types.
I never really thought about what type of skin I had. I just bought any foundation that I seen on tv and applied loads of pressed powder over the top. Not good!
Since starting Media makeup in West College Scotland, I have started to read a lot of blogs and reviews on different brands of makeup, and have learned a lot about skin types, and what's best for my skin. I have very sensitive skin that can be quite oily at times, so it's very hard for me to find a really good foundation, which covers my blemishes, without breaking me out further, as well as to help with the oilyness. I was previously using Rimmel match perfection foundation, which was quite good with my skin, except it wasn't enough coverage for me.I was looking at reviews on foundations and what was good for my type of skin. After reading a lot of good reviews about Revlon colourstay I was set on buying that and giving it a go.
I went to boots excited to pick up a bottle of colourstay(sad I know) and gave the tester a go on my jaw to match a colour. The lightest colour (ivory) was a little yellow on my skin and the next colour up was too dark, so I asked for help from the woman at the makeup counter.
She matched my skin colour with No7, Beautifully matte foundation in Calico, which is ideal for oily skin.I bought both the foundation and concealer in calico and haven't looked back since.
The foundation covers all my blemishes, reduces the oils in my t zone and looks flawless on my face! As well as being hypo-allergenic. Who could ask for more!
The concealer is definitely a must have for me. It covers every blemish on my face even when I'm not wearing foundation. If I was only allowed one makeup product in the whole world, it would definitely be this. After buying this foundation and concealer, I haven't looked back. Absolutely amazing!
