HOW TO CREATE A FLAWLESS & RADIANT BASE WITH NYX COSMETICS

April 25, 2015 in BEAUTY, Uncategorized

How To Create A Flawless & Radiant Makeup Base

Before                                                      After

I went shopping online for NYX products, and have amassed quite a haul of complexion-perfecting, dewy-skin creating face makeup items. I love the look they create- a gorgeous radiant base. If you want to create this makeup base look using NYX items, this is what you’ll need.

NYX Anti-Redness Primer Swatch

I began by using the NYX Studio Perfect Anti-Redness Photo-Loving Primer (£11). I chose the green one in the hope it would even out any red areas of my skin; but it didn’t. It looks very green in the tube, but the product itself is actually quite sheer in colour and does nothing to combat redness. It does, however, create a very smooth base for makeup; which I love, and as the foundation and concealer I picked up provide great coverage, I don’t really mind about the anti-redness aspect of it failing.

NYX Sunbeam Illuminator Swatch

Next, I used the NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation (£10), in the lightest shade Ivory. This was a great match for my incredibly white skin and offered an excellent full coverage. I mixed some of this with some of the NYX Liquid Illuminator (£7) in Sunbeam. This adds a beautiful glow to the foundation, meaning that I can wear this foundation matte by using applying it on its own, or dewy through adding the illuminator. The illuminator can also be used on its own as a highlighter, by lightly dabbing onto the cheekbones or brow bones. It’s a fabulous multi-purpose product.

L: Stay Matte But Not Flat Lightest Shade, R: Invincible Lightest Shade

I also picked up the NYX Invincible Fullest Coverage Foundation (£12) as a possible alternative to the Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation. I got the lightest shade Fair but it was literally close to orange in colour when it came out of the tube. Not impressed. I wouldn’t recommend you purchase this online as the shade range is limited and you’ll need to closely match it to your skin.

NYX Dark Circle Concealer Fair Swatch

I then used the NYX Dark Circle Concealer (£7) in Fair to tame and even-out the colour of my under-eye area. I really like this concealer as it offers good coverage, and has a thick consistency that reminds me of Benefit’s Boi-ing.

At this stage, you would apply all of the other eye, lip and cheek make-up you wanted, before finishing off with a light spray of the NYX Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray (£8). This sets your makeup really well and helps it last longer, without losing any of the radiance or dewiness you created with the foundation-illuminator combo. It’s definitely one of the best setting sprays I’ve tried.

You can purchase all of these NYX products online at www.very.co.uk. Do you like this look?

Real skin, bare skin, #nofilterneeded - just a Hydrafacial treatment. I always have the best skin of my life after a Hydrafacial & I can never replicate the results myself at home. If you want to put your money towards any facial, this is the one where you’ll see a remarkable difference in your skin. It’s my favourite beauty treatment IN THE WORLD! ✨🥰

The new @biossance Squalane & Copper Pepid Rapid Plumping Serum is a real gem. This pale blue gel serum is insanely hydrating and my skin just drinks it in, leaving it looking plump & juicy. Great big bottle for a serum too. Another hydrating hero is the @freshbeauty Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner. It’s a cult favourite for a reason - delicious rose scent, floating petals and really puts some moisture back into your skin.
Talking big moisture (are you seeing the pattern here), the new @dermalogicauk Hyaluronic Ceramide Mist* really does hydrate and leave skin feeling so comfortable and soft. Seems a lot more powerful than other mists, which I think is the ceramides really fortifying my skin barrier to leave it lovely and happy.
The new serum from @lancomeofficial is incredible and more than worth its high price tag. In the Renergie HCF Triple Serum, 3 powerful active ingredients (Vitamin C, Niacinamide & Ferulic Acid) are kept unmixed, in their own chambers to keep their potency. Only at the point of pressing the pump do they mixed in your hand. So effective at improving skin texture and brightness. Deserves an array of awards!
To keep my laminated brows in place I’ve been relying on @eyebrowqueen Brow Fix for months now. They do not budge but they look very natural. This does make your brows crispy, but it doesn’t flake or rub off. I don’t mind the crispness as visually they look great, but some might not like this.
Finally, I’m so happy to have the @foreo_uk Iris eye device in my life, to massage any eye bags or puffiness away. Great to use over an eye cream. It’s so relaxing too!

Cannot get enough of the @goodhabitskin Water Jell Cannot get enough of the @goodhabitskin Water Jelly Dew Cream! It wibble wobbles like a jelly and has blue light protection! Hyaluronic acid locks moisture into skin to create a hydrated, plumper appearance, while a blend of 20% humectants draw water to the skin to keep it moisturised all day long.
