Milani Conceal + Perfect // Foundation Review

Milani Conceal + Perfect // Foundation Review


 I bought this foundation probably about 6 months ago at Target. A couple days later I went to try it out only to find it was way too dark for my skin. I had bought the shade 00 I believe and it was (at the time) the lightest in the color range. I was super bummed because I had heard that this was an amazing drugstore foundation! Fast forward 3-4 months and they launched new shades! I ordered the palest shade this time being 00A Porcelain and I'm happy to say it matches my skin! I haven't noticed any oxidizing with this foundation either. I have tried this out with several foundation brushes (you may have seen in my recent GRWM), but it just doesn't work out for me. The best coverage and finish I have gotten with this has been with a beauty sponge. I have been using a sponge from the Morphe brand and I'm loving it with this foundation! With one application (about 1 1/2 pumps) I get a good medium coverage, but with a full 2 pumps and the second application around my face it is a high-medium to full coverage look! I was very pleased with that aspect, but this isn't a "natural looking" finish by no means. Really, what full coverage foundation is? You can tell you're wearing a full coverage foundation for sure. I go easy with the powder or I sometimes end up even a little cakey looking. By the 5 hour mark this foundation starts creasing (almost looking like the Jouer foundation I reviewed recently) and breaking down on my skin. There still is ways to make this work though! I have been on a trial and error run with this foundation so let me explain what worked out the best in my opinion. I wanted to use a more hydrating primer, but after using a matte primer with this it lasted on my skin so much longer and looked a lot nicer with less creasing. The sponge really is the way to go with this! I lightly powdered my face and that seemed to help too. I powered more where I was going to be adding more powder products (bronzer, blush, highlight, etc.) because if you don't your foundation may move around while applying those. For todays look I did use two pumps, but I mainly worked up the full coverage over my breakout areas and still left some freckles peeking through to make it a little more natural. With those few tips I can get this foundation to work for a full 8 hour period with minor creasing. This foundation can be tricky and probably wouldn't work great with oily skin or super dry skin, but it's a nice drugstore option to have on hand. I would definitely wear it again, but I wouldn't say this is an absolute favorite of mine. 

 I give this foundation a 7/10! 
You can find this at Ulta for $9.99, but you may have to go a Target or other drugstore that carries Milani to get the newer shades.

Amethyst | Gemstone Series

 Amethyst | Gemstone Series  Today is Amethyst. I have to say I started this look a little late in the day and was rushing the beautiful golden hour to get this makeup on and get decent pictures before the sunset.  *If this is the first gemstone look you have seen the others will be linked below, but the idea is creating looks based on gemstones every week and the challenge (not really) using the ColourPop So Jaded palette to create the eye look.  ✖️Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel (Blonde) ✖️Eyes: Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot (Painterly) ColourPop So Jaded Palette (Ametrine, Flourite, & Amethyst) Tarte Cosmetics Big Ego Mascara I started the look with the Ametrine shade right above my crease and blended it out with a blending brush. Then I took the Flourite shade on my inner corner and brow bone as my highlight.  Then, of course, the Amethyst shade in the palette. I patted it on the lid space with my finger before blending it in my actual ...

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Pro Palette (Nude) Review You may have seen that I received this Doucce palette in my FabFitFun Winter Box . I have actually tried one of their single pans of eyeshadow from a subscription in the past and I did like it and thought it was super pigmented! First of all, I love how compact and cool this freematic palette is. There is small magnets on the back of each shade and the inside of the actual palette is a magnetic board like a Z-Palette. Then I want to mention how I do really like the color layout of this. It is a pretty neutral layout and has shades that everyone has, but the undertone of these are just so different to me. In a good way for sure! They do have other palette options on their website, along with a "build your own palette" option. I will eventually review the highlight (also a bonus!) that came with this, but I want to talk mainly about the 8 eyeshadows. They're just like the single one I received and is very pigm...

Nomad Cosmetics Hudson Valley Palette | Makeup

 It had been too long since I got a palette from Nomad Cosmetics . They have one of the best formulas and I absolutely love when they do darker/fall color stories. I still use the Haunted Europe palette all the time and after using this one I know I'll be just as obsessed with it too. This palette is heavy on mattes with only three metallics. I do love these metallics. The formula is buttery and so pigmented plus the shades really compliment the mattes in this unique color story. The mattes are where it is at. They have some of the best mattes ever! Plus these shades?! You have a neutral side with a touch of greens that are all so toned down and wearable. But you also have those beautiful bold fall colors on the other side. While this was a fall launch and a palette I will be wearing every fall I'm sure. I found this palette to be incredible for the holiday season too. I loved the everyday neutral looks to the glam holiday looks that were perfect for holiday outings. The pigme...
