This Fave Products category will revolve around some of my all-time favourite products.

Once again, I am presenting you with one of my favourite products. I use this eyeliner every single day and it is the best I have ever tried! It's super easy to apply cause it goes on smoothly. It stays "smudgeable" for about 30 seconds so you can smudge the line with a Q-Tip for a smokey look. Once it's set, it will not budge for the rest of the day. The colours are absolutely gorgeous. Although a lot of them are shimmery, this black colour is not. I also like Bourbon, which is a shimmery brown with a hint of copper.

From Sephora's website:
Glide on color that stays put for the duration of your non-stop, on-the-go day! These cushiony, creamy eye pencils deliver powerful, vibrant color that slides on smooth and stays soft and creamy for blending (about 30 seconds), then dries to a long-lasting finish that won't budge. Line eyes with a hint of color or go for the full artistic, multi-hued effect. Truly inspired, these pencils go all day and all night. Created with 50 percent moisturizing ingredients suspended in a sophisticated waterproof formula, this brilliant collection of eye essentials offers long-lasting color and a dreamy, creamy feel when applied.
Another fave eyeliner of mine is Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes. This one is a touch dryer and thus, doesn't go on as smoothly but is a pretty good comparable.
 
Last time I checked, this brand of eyeliners is not available at Sephora in Canada. You can order it through the website though. I usually stock up when I go to the U.S., where they are available at Sephora for $17. The Make Up For Ever eyeliner is available at Sephora in Canada.

Fave Products: Make Up For Ever High Definition Foundation

This Fave Products category will revolve around some of my all-time favourite products.

Make Up For Ever High Definition Foundation

 
From the Sephora website:
"An oil-free medium-to-full-coverage liquid foundation that covers skin imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.This foundation creates a soft-focus effect, which is designed to meet the coverage concerns of those in the spotlight. It leaves your complexion with such a flawless finish, it can withstand bright or harsh lighting."

After experimenting with a few different options, I came across this one on Kim Kardashian's blog. She was doing a makeup tutorial and her makeup artist applied this brand on her. I was using MAC Studio Tech but found that a few weeks after purchase, the foundation didn't go on as smoothly. I wanted to make the switch from cream to liquid and decided to try this brand. I went to Sephora and they tried a few shades so I would know which one was perfect for me.

After using it for a almost a year, I definitely love this foundation! It provides very good coverage if you have blemishes or an uneven skin tone. It is easy to apply as it goes on really smoothly. I apply it with a foundation brush. You can also use a sponge if you wish. Little tip: mix it with some moisturizer to make it go on even better.

If you want something that will look a little more matte, try Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet foundation.

This foundation is available exclusively at Sephora for $40.

Fave Products: Make Up For Ever Concealer Palette

This Fave Products category will revolve around some of my all-time favourite products.



Make Up For Ever 5 Camouflage Cream Palette
Price: $36
Available at: Sephora

If you're looking for a concealer and are unsure about which one to choose, I would absolutely suggest this one as it is the most versatile. It has 5 different shades. The green one is great for covering up any redness. The peach colour I use for dark undereye circles. Then, there are three beige colours. Use these to match your skin tone and cover up blemishes. I love this concealer cause it really does provide coverage, it is non-greasy and because it's creamy, it can be easily applied and blended. Also, it's great for sensitive skin.

There are four palettes available, depending on your skin tone. I use the the No. 1 (Light to fair skin).
I usually use my fingers to apply it. Rub the product a little to warm it. up and then apply to areas you wish to cover.
