Chanel Vitalumiere aqua

This is the only foundation i have ever re-purchased so its defiantly worth a blog post , being a complete and utter beauty geek , i just cant stick to a foundation even if i really like it , I'am  always looking for the next beauty market hype , well let me tell you THIS is the beauty market hype and this is a foundation that cannot be replaced , once you've tried this everything else will seem ''cakey'' & heavy.








I have alot of redness that i have to cover 

This is after 1 coat and no primer ( which helps to counteract redness) and in natural lighting



To describe this foundation i would probably use the words light as air , you step out of the house with the feeling of freshly washed skin , the main ingredient on the foundation is WATER ...yes water so it sits on the skin rather than going into the pores which is brilliant for anyone with skin problems , the coverage is said to be ''light to medium'' but i would say its more medium , its defiantly build-able and you can apply a few coats for more coverage ( and it still doesn't look cakey) , It was a yellow undertone which is brilliant for anyone who has redness or angry spots in their skin-tone as it counteracts the redness. The finish is matte/semi-matte so especially great for anyone with normal or oily skin but i have dry and i love it so i defiantly think its suitable for all skin types. It also contains a SPF 15 which is brilliant for any sun worshipers or people who like to protect there skin. This foundation costs £32 which may seem a bit steep but i can assure you it is WELL worth the money the light consistently allows you to be able to apply the smallest amount which can be spread over the entire face i find this lasts me around 2-3 Months , I can tell you that as a lover of this foundation i have tried so many duplicates and none stand up to this , i have tried applying with a brush & also my fingers and find that it is much better applied with the fingers.



Formula:  This foundation has to be to shaken well before applying it.  Once you squirt it out the consistency is a very thin liquid. 
Coverage:  The coverage is sheer.  If you just want to cover redness and not any serious acne then this foundation is great for you.  It looks very natural & is matte/semi-matte
Longevity:  This foundation lasts a long time on me, although that is subject to a person's skin type.  I have dry skin so I typically don't have a problem with fading foundation. I don't normally set this foundation with powder as its matte/semi-matte and i absolutely love the finish
Scent:  It smells really strong and floral while you apply it.  I absolutely love the smell, but it doesn't irritate my skin ( which is sensitive) and I don't notice it after I'm done applying.
Shade:  I use 50 Beige , The shade ''names'' have changed to just numbers but i believe beige 50 is ''Beige Sienna'' this is my summer shade and in the winter i use B40 which was previously known as ''Beige Dessert''

My summer make-up routine & hiding redness

Hello Beauties :)

Well this is a bit of a treat, this is not a post I normally do , and wasnt to sure  about snapping away pictures of me without make-up but i thought FUDGE IT .....who cares? So here is my everyday summer foundation routine which includes hiding redness.
Like it love it hate it whatever just enjoy it .....



Some of the products i used , MAC face & body foundation, Chanel gel bronzer , MUA red lipstick, 



Prime your face this will help all your make-up stay on during the hot weather , iam using Monu skin perfecting primer

I use green concealer to help conceal all my redness i apply i quite thick and blend the edges out using a clean ring finger

For my face im using MAC face & body foundation in N2 & a beauty blending sponge i find it applys better than a brush and this does not disturb my work with the green concealer 

I dont always use bronzer but i have caught such a tan over the past week , i feel my foundation does not match my skin 100% 

I apply a peachie blush just to the applys of my cheeks this is Superdrugs MUA in shade 5

I use a angled brush and my beautiful brow kit to fill in my eyebrows , a good alternative is MUA shade 15 chocolate brown eyeshadow

I am using red lipstick this is MUA shade 13 , i apply it lightly and blend it out with my finger to create a more raspberry than red colour

And here is my final look :)
