SOS-HELP: Redness Solution Urgent Relief Cream

I think you can tell, that I love Clinique because of their skincare treatments and this cream is one of the reasons!

I have constantly reddish cheeks, but the intensity of the redness changes day by day.
If I think that it’s impossible to cover the redness with my foundation, I will always put this cream underneath. In a couple of minutes my skintone is even looking, without a lot of afford!
I use a pea-size amount and dab it onto the areas where my skin needs some extra help and then I’m blending it to the sides.

Not just that I can see that my skin is in a better condition, it also feels so much better. My skin gets a soft touch and that is great if you want to apply foundation afterwards. Even if I normally do not use any kind of base, I think this product somehow works like a base!

It’s said that this can be used for every skintype, but I’m not sure if I would use this on oily skin.
My logical reasoning tells me, when this suits my dry skin, then probably it’s not made for the opposite. BUT you can always try!
It smells very neutral, maybe a little like cucumber and the consistency is comparable to yoghurt and one note for the sensitive skintypes: It’s suitable for highly reactive skintypes!

I wish you “Happy Non-Redness Days”...

MAC-Mineral Skinfinish Natural

I think that there are already enough reviews about these powders, but I wanted to write one for a specific reason.

This should help all the people out there who have really dry skin and normally have to stay away from powders in general.
When you have dry skin, then powder can sometimes cause patchy areas on your skin. This is not looking nice and definitely this is far away from the glowy skin we are all trying to reach for.

Sometimes I hear people say: “Why do you want to use powder, you are not going to have any shine on your face?!” Well, probably that’s true. Normally (as long as I’m not sweating) I won’t have shiny parts, but preventing this is not the only purpose of powder. Powder is also used to sat your foundation, to make it last longer.
AND I know that some people (and I’m also talking about men), do not want to use liquid foundation for several reasons, but they still want to have something to put on their skin!

If you are struggling with powder because of your dry skin, then please try a mineralized powder! You don’t have to use this MAC version (e.g. the Laura Mercier one is also great).
Powders based on minerals are working regardless which skintype you have, but it’s especially great for the dryer ones.

Let me say one important thing: This powder is not giving you high coverage. However it is able to make your skin look nice! If you have very problematic skin, you probably won’t feel satisfied by just using this powder, but it will make your skin look better.
I for one, will still have the redness on my cheeks showing through (that’s why I use my foundation underneath), but my skin is somehow looking very even! I don’t know exactly how this works, but it gives me this healthy look…

I’ve heard a couple of times, that the mineralized powders by MAC are not really mineral based. The minerals included would represent just a little portion of the powder, but I can’t check if that is true!

I can say that this is the powder I’ve been using for a couple of month and I really like the quality of it.

Thumbs up for minerals ;o)

KATY PERRY INSPIRED- Everyday Makeup II

As I've promissed I would show the picture that inspired me to do my latest Makeup-Tutorial right here on my Blog.

Here it is...

I think Katy Perry is always looking gorgeous, but her looks are not easy to wear, unless you are a celebrity and perform at the VMAs. This look really is one of her neutral looks, yet still somehow special.

The key to this look obviously is the lip colour, which is looking amazing. I couldn't find any color that was exacly looking like Katys lipstick, but I think Jade Maybelline-Fresh Peach (which is the color I used) is a close version.
