Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealers

There has been hype around these Makeup Revolution concealers for a while now. If you haven’t heard about them, where have you been!?

L’Oreal Perfect Match Perfecting Concealer

I love the L’oreal True Match foundation so thought I would give the concealer a go. This is a great drug-store option if you are looking for a good concealer on a budget. I would say the formula is comparable to the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer which is one of my all-time favourites, so not bad for £6.99! Shade Selection One serious drawback to … Continue reading L’Oreal Perfect Match Perfecting Concealer

Barry M Flawless Matte Finish Foundation

I feel like drugstore brands are really stepping up their game when it comes to foundations. Barry M is definitely one of these brands.

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Cheek Illuminator

I love Tanya Burr, so that fact that it took me this long to try anything from her makeup range is shocking form. To be honest though, nothing had caught my attention until she came out with her newest range; ‘Glow your Own Way’.
