The Perfect products for a Perfect skin. Swatches and BEFORE/AFTER pictures...

Hello ladies,
Today I decided to show you my FAVORITES products to achieve the perfect flawless and Glowy skin (in my opinion). I have been using these products for a while and I absolutely love them ALL. Here is the list:

Nars bronzer in Laguna , MAC msf in Gold Deposit, Eyeko 3 in1 cream extra Glow and (the best) KiKo perfect glow foundation in 02.
So let's start with some "naked skin" pictures ouch! (Not so perfect, discoloration redness, scars...)
Picture #1 Natural light - Picture #2 Flash (lol it was hard to post)

First, I apply the foundation. KIKO is a new Italian brand that I discovered in Paris few months ago, I went to their store because they had absolutely ALL nail polish colors you can imagine, for only 2,5 euros. While I was there I decided to try some of their face products and I picked the Perfect Glow foundation for 12euros I believe (website is in Italian and I never ordered from them online but I plan to), I am so glad I did! It became my HG foundation after the first day wearing it. The coverage is buildable from medium to full without effort, it is very creamy and blends perfectly into the skin and hide any discoloration or redness. Bye Bye Concealer :)


Then, I contour and give a sun kissed effect to my skin with the Nars Laguna Bronzer. Laguna is perfect for you if other bronzers tend to turn orange on you. Laguna doesn't!

Now let's add some Glow! Mac Gold deposit is perfect for this. I apply it on and below the cheekbones (make sure to blend it into your hairline).

To add even more Glow, apply Eyeko extra glow on top of the apples of your cheeks.

Swatches natural light (above) and with flash (bellow) :

And Voilà! This is what you should get a Glowying flawless skin.

Now the BEFORE and After Pictures. What do you think?

Hope everyone has a Great and Long 4th of July Weekend :)
Love,
Chloé

  17. This is exactly what make up is for - not for creating a mask, but for hiding the minor flaws and most importantly for bringing out the best features. My point is, your cheekbones are to die for :)
