Hi Everyone,
2016 went crazily fast and during this year, I
tried so many products and since it is December, my favorite month, I wanted to
post a roundup of my favorite products of this year, mainly makeup ones. I
preferred to mention the products in accordance with my order of application. Without
further ado, I will be talking about base products; namely primers and
concealers.
Sunscreen is always my first step that I never
missed even in winter time. For years, I’ve been using my trusty La Roche PosayAnthelios XL 50+ spf. It’s a light, paraben free and non-perfumed sunblock that
prevent sunspot and age spots.
For primers, my first is technically a skin care
product. In other words, it’s a tinted moisturizer, namely the La Roche PosayEffaclar Duo (+) Unifiant that I picked while in Paris. Check my haul here and
here. It is one of those clever products that fall in the midst of skin care
and makeup that works on unifying the skin and correcting the marks.
The l’oreal Nude Magique Blur Cream is one of those
late discoveries of mine. However, when I tried it, I loved it. Though I’m not
a silicon base product lover, I figured that this one works perfectly underneath
my powder foundation without feeling on the top of my skin like most of silicon
base primers.
My second product category is concealers and I’ve
got to admit is my second favorite beauty product after bronzers. I will start
with a staple one; the Mac Pro Longwear Concealer. It is long wearing with a
creamy liquid consistency and offers medium to full coverage.
My second under eye concealer is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind, which I believe is a great one for a drugstore. Though its thin
consistency that doesn’t settle into the fine line, it gives good coverage and
impressive staying power.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer is again another
staple with a lot of hype but it’s for a reason. It’s a lightweight concealer
with a medium coverage and creamy velvety texture. The product brightens up the
under-eye area without accentuating the fine lines.
Last but not
least is the Mac Prep and Prime Highlighter. It is a beautiful concealer that I
particularly like to use along with my Mac Pro Long Wear. It is lightweight yet
creamy with a good pigmentation and doesn’t crease.
This is my first part of the base products and I
will shortly be back with the second part that covers foundations and setting
powders.
What’s your favorite products? Please comment below
if I should try any of it.
