Organic skin care

JOINING the organic skincare revolution is new label Davina Peace, which is available now in Harrods. Marrying luxury textures with high-performance organic ingredients (certified by the Soil Association), Davina Peace’s eponymous beauty range was born out of frustration with ineffective eco-friendly products: “I had tried countless so-called ‘green’ beauty products which had great environmental and social claims, but they typically carried the traditional herbaceous smell associated with ‘eco’. Above all, they rarely did the job!” With a focus on ethically-sourced ingredients, Davina Peace has developed Crambe Oil for exclusive use within her range, which includes moisturising body care products and three beautifully scented candles. Derived from a plant cultivated in the UK, Crambe Oil is a vegetable substitute for silicone and gives the products a “wonderful, cushioned, gliding feel” says Davina – perfect for that touch of luxury.

From £28; available at Harrods or buy it from www.davinapeace.com

When it comes to the art of applying cosmetics, foundation makeup is the area where most people make major mistakes. They either choose the wrong color, ending up with skin that appears too light or too dark, or they don’t apply it correctly and end up with an unblended mess. Choosing foundation color and learning to apply it properly can be a challenge but once you know the basics, you’ll have flawless looking skin for life!

Choosing Foundation Makeup Type And Color
If you are completely new to the idea of choosing the right color of foundation, it may be best to make a quick trip to the department store and visit a Clinique counter or other cosmetic counter for help and tips. The experts there can help you choose the right color. Of course, once you understand the process of choosing the color you can always switch to a drugstore brand like Cover Girl and match your color to the department store color chosen for you.

The first step to choosing your own foundation however is to choose not the color but the type of formula you need. There are many different foundation skin products, for all types of face issues. If you have oily skin you may want to go with a cream or powder formula. If you have dry skin or combination skin, a liquid formula might work best. Some people like to add a translucent or opaque mineral powder over their liquid foundation, so keep that in mind while shopping.

In addition to thinking about your skin type, you’ll need to think about the coverage you need and your lifestyle. If you have blotchy skin you might need a formula that offers bold coverage but if you simply want to even out your tone a bit, a lighter coverage formula might work better. If you live a very active and sporty lifestyle, you might even want to consider waterproof or stick foundation.

When you are choosing your color on your own, look for yellow based colors because they look most natural on all people. Be sure to look for a shade that somewhat matches your clean jaw line, neck color or the color on the inside of your wrist. A makeup counter expert can help you with this if you do choose to visit the department store. If you buy at a drugstore, some of them will accept exchanges on makeup. So, keep in mind if you don’t get the right color the first time you might be able to exchange it for another color.

Applying The Foundation Makeup
When you get your foundation home, sit near a window and try the color on your jawline to be sure it is correct. It should blend in naturally to your skin’s color and your neck color.

Once you’re sure the color is perfect, start by dotting the foundation on your forehead, nose, each cheek and chin. Then using a sponge, blend the dots together until your face is covered. You can choose to do total face coverage in this manner or you can also choose to simply apply the foundation where you need the coverage the most. Either way, the key to getting a natural look is to blend it well. Be sure to blend it completely, leaving no streaks or unnatural looking areas.

Choosing and applying foundation makeup can be difficult but to get the best makeup look possibly, it’s important to take the time to learn how to do it properly!

As we know it can be difficult to find the right foundation so I hope this post helps.Once again thanks for stopping by please leave a comment and tell me what foundation you use catch up soon see ya

Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow Eye Enhancer in Almond ($29)= £20.00
Matte eyeshadows can be a bear to blend, but this golden brown spreads like buttah. Would-be jewel thieves might not like how readily the gunmetal compact captures their fingerprints, but the rich color and smooth texture more than make up for it, barring an arrest. It’s definitely a splurge, but it’s not a bad one to make.

Burberry Beauty Light Glow Natural Blush in Russet ($41) =£27.00

A definitive blush, and like the eyeshadow, this warm reddish peach, with its subtle golden glitter, seems to melt into my skin. It’s awfully spendy for a blush, but if you’re a girl who likes her luxury makeup and wears just one or two blush colors often, it might be worth the plunge.

Burberry Beauty Soft Satin Lipstick in Nude Beige ($30)=£20.00

WOW! Burberry did not hold back when they scented this lipstick. There’s something old lady/Miss Havisham from Great Expectations about it; my nose detects can’t miss the strong notes of baby powder, along with a spoonful of wealth and “maturity” thrown in for good measure (unflavored, though). Super pigmented, Nude Beige feels smooth on my lips, but the color only lasts about an hour before I have to reapply. For sure, I like this more for the packaging than the product itself. That said, the side detailing on the bullet and its cap, which has a smart magnetic closure, are kinda gorgeous.

Burberry Beauty Eye Definer Eye Shaping Pencil in Midnight Brown ($27)=£18.00

A dark brown with subtle golden glitter, the tip of this pencil feels hard but applies smooth. The formula layers and blends easily beneath powder shadows, and it grasps my lash line for somewhere between four and six hours. On my waterline, however, it fades quickly, completely disappearing in less than an hour.

Burberry Beauty Sheer Foundation in Trench No. 05 ($52)=£35.00

Okay, this might be an Asian thing, but does anyone else remember Pearl Cream (“made from real crushed pearls!”)? It was a face cream popular in the ’80s? My mom and aunts always had a jar in their medicine cabinets. So, this foundation has that same strong talcum powdery Pearl Cream scent, ha! It’s uncanny! Anywho, the sample I tested, Trench No. 5, is a warm light beige and sooo not my color, but I wore it around the house for fun. It offers sheer coverage and feels feather light on the skin, almost like a tinted moistaturizer.
