fotd by revlon make up artist

On Friday I got my make up done for free by a Revlon make up artist. He was so sweet and nice and gave me some amazing tips. This is his end result


I'm really happy with how natural it looks. I always feel cakey when I do my own make-up and I've always been a fan of the dewey/shiny look but can never pull it off without looking greasy/oily. But I love how glowly my skin looks.

He didn't really do anything fancy, just your basic primer, concealer, foundation, blush, eyeshadow, mascara.

My blemishes didn't get covered which I didn't like and my dark under eye circles were incredibly visible which I loathe. Even if I'm having a make-up free day I always, always, ALWAYS wear eye brightener.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. He was doing make up for free all day, so I didn't expect anything majorly amazing, but I was pretty happy with the outcome.

The make up artist gave me one of those sheets of paper with a drawing of a face on it and he drew on it and wrote exactly what he did and what he used, which was lovely.

Do you lovely ladies have any tips on how I can look dewy but not oily?
I use Revlon Photoready foundation at the moment, and as most of you know, it's famous for being just a bit too shiny lol and when I set with my powder it takes away all shine.

  1. Have you ever used the body shop foundations? They have a 'dewy' finish but don't make you look all oily and shiny, the only problemo I have with them is they can be sheer, I tend to do two layers x

  5. <3 your skin colour. It's not tanned but it's not white. I agree with what you said a few posts ago about Myer girls being snobby bitchs. Sooo true. I think we really agree on sales staff because this is the second time we have mentioned it haha.

    Did you end up getting a face moisturizer?
