Hello everyone!! =D Long time no see! XD
Hope everyone is doing great so far. Gosh.. lately weather has been so weird and hot till I don't even feel like going out.. @_@ Recently I had been a little busy preparing for my basic makeup workshop and was sick twice...first was flu and slight sore throat then most recently was actually the day before, almost lost my life... had headache and migraine, diarrhoea and vomiting.. was totally weak and unbearable.. in the end turn out that I had too much acidic drinks and food plus weak stomach and slow digestion.. Luckily I had my wonderful and lovely mum who took good care of me. (Love ya mum! (^3^) ) Mother's Day is coming soon! so do remember to love and pamper your mums! but then again not just on this special day but we should be loving our own mum every single day from the sincerity of our hearts, That's what's important I feel. Sometimes they do not need expensive gifts or meals from us, all they want is just a little of our time and attention or that little conversation with us. =)
Today is the start of a long weekend, Woohoo!!! \(^_^)/ hope everyone is having a great time so far! =D With this kind of weird weather lately, I guess most of you out there beside wanting to take 3 to 4 times shower everyday, XD most concern about would be your base makeup I guess?? O.o melting and smudging like ice cream under the hot bloody sun... and you definitely wouldn't want to apply thick foundation with this kind of weather.
The recent makeup trend for Spring 2014 I would say it would be soft nude and natural look with glow and dewy skin. You can almost spot them on the runway this season.
Natural makeup with a light wash of colours on the eyes and lips.
Soft and natural makeup.
Recently I have found a foundation that I personally feel that is able to achieve this kind of makeup look and trend. And most important would be suitable for this kind of weird weather lately. XD
1028 Advanced Whitening Essence Foundation.
It's gold and black packaging makes it look so elegant and classy! ^_^
They had also launched a stippling brush that is for use together with this foundation that will allow you to have a smooth and poreless base! =D
The flat, slight angled brush head makes it easy to apply the foundation on and making sure every inch of the skin is fully covered. Made of soft pony bristles, it glides on smoothly without prickling the skin. You can also use it for applying BB or CC cream, loose powder or pressed powder.
Its soft and doesn't bleed or shed even though I had washed it a few times.
It comes with SPF 30 PA ++ in 3 different shades. The one I chose is the most fairest. OC-01
The foundation itself is a practical and innovative design. Made like a test tube bottle design with the rubber squeeze head instead of the normal pump type. This is to ensure that we can control the amount we took each time and it doesn't leave a mess or stained the mouth of the bottle as compared to the pump type which you have to clean each time after use.
Very lightweight texture. =D
The texture itself is amazing! A serum like texture that easy to spread and blend. If you are lazy to use a brush, alternatively you can use your fingers too. You won't even feel like you are applying foundation, more like applying serum or essence! trust me! =D However, I do have to admit that the coverage wise is light to medium... BUT... its buildable. So gals with acne problems or if you are looking for thicker coverage, you might have to apply a few more layers or put on some compact powder or something. But I personally prefer to leave it as it is to get that dewy effect with just a light dust of loose powder on my T-zone.
Easily blended in!
I personally prefer to use the brush to buff in a circular motion. ^^
Very smooth effect that makes your pores less visible. =D
Looks very natural in daylight too! =P
Ok everyone, that's all for today now and remember the key to achieve this season nude, natural but soft and dewy skin is to slowly build up in layers and less loose powder. ^^ Hope you all enjoyed today short and little sharing and review.
