Nykaa recently brought Wet n Wild cosmetics to India. I wanted to try their photo focus foundation as I had heard a lot about it . I quickly picked it along with few other stuff. The claim that fascinates me a lot is that it gives a photo finish and even under light it gives you a flawless finish. I really hate the foundations that leave a whitish cast on face. After all who does not love a #nofilter look. Lets see how it fared.

PACKAGING

The foundation come in a glass bottle filled to the rim so there is plenty of product for that price.
The cap has a wand attached with a flat plastic tip. I use it to apply foundation directly on my face. But you need to wipe it off before putting it back in bottle to avoid any kind of infections.





MY REVIEW

I did my research and bought this foundation in the shade 'bronze beige'. I'm Maybelline fit me 310 and in MAC studio fix, i am NC40.
it is a pretty close shade to my skin colour which is medium with yellow undertone as you can see from above picture i posted
Love this foundation overall, it's medium to full coverage foundation and it is buildable. 
Now my main concern with this foundation is, this foundation sticks to my dry patches and it doesn't look flattering. As I have  acne marks but after using it for some time, I figured out I need to use a good scrub and heavily moisturize my face before using this product. And in the end, I got a flawless result. This foundation stays  till 8-10 hours which is quite good and is ideal for oily skin as it is very mattifying. It doesn't move at all and other products sit on top of it very well.

FINAL VERDICT


Why I love it: 
1. Non greasy 
2 . gives a fabulous Matt finish 
3. it doesn't look cakey on the skin 
4. it doesn't smudge
5. It lasts up to 7-8 hours, 


What I don't like: there should be more variety of shades, because the shades are too light for Indian skin tone,Nykaa should add more warm shades, But anyway it did match my skin tone(medium Dark,with warm undertones),I am in the shade *Bronze beige*. I am in love with this foundation 

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS FOUNDATION.YOU SHOULD HAVE IT IN YOUR VANITY IF YOU ARE IN A BUDGET OR NOT.IT IS A MUST HAVE .


see you soon loves

Top 5 makeup trends of 2019

Hello everyone!  This is my first post on my blog. Hope you enjoy!

We're almost done with the first two month of 2019. As with the rocky evolution of society's cultural and personal choices, makeup trends also evolve  and flow. Some trends transcend time, while others are more fleeting. Either way, the onset of a new year is like a blank canvas ready to be filled with your ideas.



  BOLD COLORS



Put down that tired neutral palette, and pick up a pop of color. Start with your eyes.Neon eyes are a good way to embrace color with open arms.

Don't be shy about stepping into uncharted territory with color, especially for spring
             Monochromatic Makeup

It's a brilliantly simple approach to makeup—the technique involves using similar shades on the face in different ways. When creating a monochromatic makeup look, follow the rule "same, but different." Explains Breuchard:
It's all about using the same tones and shades of color. And making sure that your eyes, cheeks, and lips all mimic each other in a beautiful way



Strong Brows

A strong brow is always in style, but we'll be seeing them a lot more in 2019.Now, let's all have a moment of silence for Lily Collins's perfect brows and ask the Brow gawds to descend from the heavens above and give us the same this year.


Glow-From-Within Skin

Looking for ways to embrace your natural glow?Try skipping full-coverage foundations and opt for more sheer coverage for a lighter fresher look. Tinted moisturizer will always be a great alternative to foundation,
I personally  like using sunscreen products like  Dermalogica Sheer Tint SPF 20 - Light 3295 , which provides coverage and is great way to protect the skin.

If you prefer a more understated use of color, try pastel tones like barely-there pale pink, baby blue, or mint green.once spring's flowers bloom, we'll be seeing these light and airy shades everywhere. I suggest pairing these hues with a statement graphic eyeliner to pump this look up.
