FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin Pressed Powder - Review, Price, Swatches

Summers are here and so is the time to take out those pressed powders for finishing off your makeup.
Today I'm sharing the FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin Pressed Powder. I have already reviewed the Faces Ultime Pro Second Skin Foundation

The packaging is very nice, a black container with silver embossed letters make it look chic. The lid opens to reveal the powder puff inside while the lower half opens up to reveal the actual product as well as a mirror. This is perfect for travelling.

The powder puff is nice and soft and gives a very even application. A tip - remember to press down the puff on your face instead of swiping it all over. Pressing it down allows the powder to settle easily without wasting product and also gives a more neater finish.

Price: Rs 899 [available online for Rs 692 HERE]

FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin Foundation - Review, Price, Swatches

I have been a big fan of previous FACES foundations that I have used and have one more to share with you all. This is the FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin foundation.

It comes in frosted glass bottle with a pump cap. The bottle looks luxurious.
It is convenient to dispense but due to the glass packaging it can't accompany me on my travels.

FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin Foundation claims to be an ultra-lightweight liquid to powder foundation owing to its new breakthrough color technology.

It is a serum based foundation and does actually feel almost like water when you apply it to your skin. Its like there is nothing on your skin at all. The coverage is medium build-able.
The finish it imparts to the skin is very natural, almost matte. The smooth texture makes this foundation literally glide on your skin.

FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin is available in four different shades ranging from light to dark - Ivory, Natural, Beige and Sand,
Shades have been chosen to work with the Indian skin tone and the foundation also comes with SPF 15.

Price: Rs.1499 for 30ml [available on flipkart for Rs 1199]

Rimmel London Match Perfection Liquid Foundation - 201 Classic Beige - Review, Swatch, FOTD

One of my favourite foundations for summer months that I'm sharing today is from Rimmel Match Perfection Range with SPF 18 - 201 Classic Beige.

The foundation comes in a glass bottle (the only thing that I don't like about this foundation - I would hate to drop it!) with a screw cap. There is a pump dispenser inside and one pump is good to cover the face and neck. For a little more coverage I go over the required areas with one more pump.  The shade is clearly visible from the bottle itself. The texture is creamy but not gloopy. It smooths over the skin easily. It does not have a noticeable smell. You can apply it with your hands, a sponge or a brush. I prefer applying it with my Sigma Kabuki 3DHD brush to get the perfect finish and quick application.

You can mix a drop of this foundation with your regular moisturiser to create your own tinted moisturiser as well.

And here I am with another lovely color to write about - Essie Mambo #335

Essie Mambo - #335 - Swatches & Review

Essie Mambo is a lovely mocha beige color which is said to have hints of shimmer. But I must say I cannot see any shimmer in it and I'm glad I don't. This is just the perfect beige for nails - like a foundation for the nails if you are medium skin toned.
