The best part about the face powder is that my face still had a dewy glow showing through. It gives light to medium coverage which is perfect for my skin. This is great if your skin tends to shine as well, since it helps to absorb the excess oils. I recommend applying it with a blush-brush like I did to keep the coverage light. There’s a nice range of colors for all types of skin tones. The shadows are very silky and apply easily. My skin has green undertones, so these shades really worked for me. As for the Baked blush 07 in Fantastico Mauve, it gave me such a nice warm glow that we’ll all be needing this winter (especially for those of us who can’t escape to some tropical island).
For a really polished look, choose a blush color that’s harmonious with your lip color. In this case, the pink blush goes so well with my pink-painted lips. I also used the Liquif’eye automatic eyeliner 06 Green (applied along the top lash line) and the Liquif’eye metallic eyeliner 03 Gold (applied to the bottom).
That’s what they claim on the eyeliner packaging and that’s what they deliver. I had the makeup on all day, and it really lasted. To make any type of eye makeup last longer, apply loose powder first. I loved colors, but am definitely partial to the metallics. The metallic pencils glided on more smoothly than the automatic ones.
The piece de resistance was the Lip Flash 06! This lipstick is fabulous! Just look at that rich color. It’s perfect for this seasons. To top it off, it’s moisturizing and long lasting too! What more could you ask for? It’s a lipstick and lip liner all in one. I lined my lips first, then filled them in. Voilà!
Milano Lip Flash 05 Hot Flash
Milano’s lip flash 05 in Hot Flash is aptly named. This color will surely give your date a hot flash when they see you! This red is a perfect compliment to the soft green.
