Dior Diorskin Forever Extreme Wear Flawless Makeup SPF 25

My HG-2007

Having been a fan of Dior makeup for a long time, I was excited to find this new foundation. I chose the Light Beige and it is a good match for my light-medium with pink undertone complexion. I have combination skin. This is by far the smoothest, most lightweight-feeling longwear foundation I have ever found. Dior's Forever foundation is too matte for me, that's why I use Dior 'Diorshow' Powder in white (a quick dusting all over the face and the neck) to add some shimmering effect (to draw away the attention from the problem spots on the face). I can wear this easily for 10 hours, but actually I use Dior 'DiorSkin Forever' Extreme Fix Powder to ensure such a strong stay-on power. It seems to me the coverage and matteness lasts longer if I apply directly to bare skin. But area around the eyes requires some moisturizer because this foundation shows some lifting effect and my wrinkles become more noticeable without the extra moisture or wrinkle filling ingredients.

Fusion Beauty LipFusion

Sweet, natural and gorgeous

I use it in Dream color and love it! The texture is very nice and smooth, the "sheer plum cream" sits tight on the lips like the second skin with the remarkable match to the natural color. It has a very slight plumping effect, as with all lip plumpers. Although, this one is really nice to wear just as a regular gloss with a color of a lipstick. I have noticed some dryness after using Fusion Beauty lip glosses for a long period of time but the gorgeous look with it is worth of some side effects. I didn't find any replacement for that from other brands that's why I will repurchase it.

La Roche-Posay REDERMIC EYES

Excellent moisturizer and base for make-up

This is simply the unfragranced version of La Roche Posay's Redermic line. It is a nice light cream that I use all over my face, not just under my eyes. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good daily product for eyes and an excellent base for make-up. This light cream contains vitamin C.So far I haven't experienced any irritation and it does not clog my pores. It absorbs so quickly and leaves my skin very soft.
