I caved and I bought the new Fendy Beauty products, but can you blame me? I'd watched like 4 review videos on YouTube and I was convinced that I needed it in my life.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, base make up is literally the most important part of any make up look. Yes, you can have eyeshadows that slay and eyebrows on point, but it doesn't matter if your base isn't quite right. So this range is right up my street! 

I was going to order it online but thought I'd rather go in store and give it a proper look, At first I thought I was going to be shade 170 or 190 in the foundation but boy was I wrong, I ended up going for the 150- let's just reflect on how pale I actually am. This foundation does dry a little bit darker so that is something to remember. 

Next I went for the trio sticks, I think these are good value for money as you get three for £46, whereas if you buy them individually they are priced at £21 each. I went for the lightest shades, they are creamy, so easy to blend and even more importantly they do what they say! My face looked defined and concealed, so what more could I want.

I went a bit crazy when it came to highlighters and ended up buying two as well as the brush. I felt like I couldn't get Fenty beauty without getting the trophy wife colour- despite the sales assistant insisting this wouldn't suit my skin tone. I thought it would be perfect for the inner corners of my eyes! I also bought the double highlighter in the lightest shades and this is amazing.. a little really goes a long way!

When it comes to makeup, I've always been interested in foundation. For me, it's the most important part of any make up look- if it's wrong, it's wrong. There's no clawing back a bad base. I don't know if it's the same for everyone else, maybe you're more interested in your eyeshadow or your eyebrows, but when you've suffered with acne for years as a teenager, any sort of cover up is a blessing.

My skin has changed quite a lot over the years, from really oily to dry, to combination (which is where I'm at now.) So once I find the right foundation, I don't tend to change it much. For the past year or two, I've been using Too Faced Born This Way- which is also absolutely amazing so check it out if you haven't. I had no reason to change from it, other than the fact I stumbled into Sephora in Dubai and found myself at the Tarte section. I'd hear about their Under The Sea foundation but they didn't have it in store, and the lovely sales assistant was showing me the Amazonian Clay Foundation instead. It is oil free, and felt so lightweight as soon as she put it on my skin. The coverage and matte look was exactly what I wanted and so I wanted to know more about the range!

About ten minutes later, I ended up with the primer, the brush and the foundation and I left Sephora so happy! I felt confident and yet, not full of makeup. My skin can breathe with these products, and it actually doesn't move from my face. Even though I don't suffer from severe acne anymore, I always want to have a good coverage foundation and I honestly can't recommend this one more. It's hard to buy in the UK as we don't have any stores where you can have a colour match, but if you want to buy it online then just click here.

I know the base of your make up can be boring but it's so important! What's your favourite make up product?

I feel like all of my favourite products are running out recently!
I've had this foundation since around November and use it nearly every day- so it's lasted me quite a while. You'll have heard it raved about a million times, so let's make it one million and one. Yeah, you guessed it, it's the Nars Sheerglow Foundation.

I've tried many foundations, drugstore bought and high end products, but this is by far the best. My skin is normal to combination but it can get slightly oily. I like coverage, but a light soft feel on my skin. If something is too heavy, it can go grubby throughout the day when wearing it for a long amount of time. Another negative to other foundations is that they rub off easily, you know when you hug someone and pull away, only to see you've left a cheek on their fancy coat- er.. awkward. Well thankfully, this product doesn't do that, in fact, I don't even feel like I'm wearing any.

As you can see, it's well loved just by the finger prints all over the bottle. I must say, the only bad thing is that there is no pump and it must be bought separately. That wouldn't be too much of a problem if they ever actually had one in stock (I'm still yet to buy one myself!)

Also, a fancy glass bottle is great, but not for someone who's clumsy. Overall, I love the product itself, and I don't think I'd switch to another one after trying this, it's just the packaging that lets it down a little bit. The newer foundation from Nars comes with a pump so that could be an alternative.

If you haven't tried this before, and want coverage that looks (hopefully) and feels flawless, then it is definitely more than an option!
