Must-Have Cream Blush: Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge

“Pretty Powerful symbolizes my belief that all women are pretty, and with the right tools, are empowered to a higher level of pretty – it’s about being confident and about being who you are” – Bobbi Brown. That’s a philosophy that I can subscribe to, can’t you? Bobbi Brown has released a limited edition Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge for International Women’s Day (which took place on 8 March 2013), with all sales in South Africa going to HeartBeat, a charity that cares for orphaned and vulnerable children suffering from the impact of HIV.

Flawless Face Series Part II: Foundation

There are four basic formulations to choose from: powder, liquid, crème, and stick foundation (I could have included ‘mousse’ in here but I didn’t, because it’s crap). You need to consider the following when deciding which is best for you: Most importantly, what is your skin type? This is essential – is your skin oily, dry, combination, or sensitive? You don’t need to pick just one option – I have an oily t-zone, dry cheeks and my skin is incredibly sensitive. What level of coverage do you need? Which texture do you prefer (ie matte, dewy, luminous, velvety)? You should…

Beauty Spotlight: Bobbi Brown Corrector & Concealer

One of my biggest face frustrations is concealing my under-eye area, which is naturally dark and dehydrated.

I started to see the Bobbi Brown correctors and concealers being used a lot in YouTube tutorials and mentioned in blogger’s favourites, so I decided to give them a try. I trundled off to Stuttafords to have my colour matched (they have to…

Jules’ Face of the Day #1

Today I have a couple of meetings so I have a little more make-up on that I usually do when I work at home all day. Skin is smoothed over with a sheer coverage BB cream and I’ve used a cream blush in peachy tones (which works with my lipstick of choice) to keep the look fresh and dewy. A bit of light contour and highlight is thrown in and eyes are softly defined with a mid-tone brown cream shadow, a couple of coats of black mascara and a metallic bronze eyeliner in the waterline. A light dusting of translucent…

Face of the Day: Mad Men

I was feeling inspired by the Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection, so I decided to do a Sixties-esque look today: gentle kitten flick eyeliner and a soft red lip. THE FACE I wanted to look expensive, so I decided to use my By Terry Sheer Expert Foundation (separate post about this product coming soon). This foundation looks and smells so gorgeous, and it leaves my skin looking soft and dewy. Next up, under-eye concealing: for this I used my trusty Clinique Airbrush Concealer. I then powdered my t-zone with MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. Popped a bit of…
