The Illamasqua Skin Base foundation was something I had wanted to try out for a long time. Some years ago it received quite a bit of hype as did the brand's blushes. I think the main reason due to...

I'm writing about Illamasqua's white skin base mixer. This is a lovely product, it's creamy and relatively densely pigmented and a nice ivory colour. As it's so pigmented, a couple drops is all...

I like how full coverage this foundation is; I have a bit of redness on my cheeks and forehead and it covered up everything seamlessly and smoothly. I also found it not to be drying, which is a big...

Actual rating is 3.5 stars, but I am rounding up because I love the color. I don't really love this foundation much on its own on my combo skin because it can break up quickly on oilier areas, but...

Only used this a few times but really like it. Very easy to apply and blend, no cakeyness at all. Also, I am 61 so my skin is probably a bit dry. I applied moisturiser some hours before applying...

I love this foundation but just wish it had slightly more coverage and staying power. The different shades are amazing, and I do think I have a great match for my skin tone (6.5) but I find myself...

Do not get if you have sensitive skin. Low quality. Bought it as a present and looked like a fool. Cheers

Despite only giving one lippy. I don't hate this foundation, I just really dislike it. I didn't really like it because it dries to a very powdery finish. The packaging isn't great, it's a...

This foundation works well for me in heat of the summer and in bitter cold winters too, so they're right when they say it's for all skin types. There are so many shades to choose from, and there...
