A massive load of people asked for a video using Clinique’s new Matte Mandarin lipstick and so here it is in full, glorious technicolor. It was actually the entire “look” that I wore in my How to Style Greasy and Limp Hair video that people seemed to want and so I trawled back through the footage and tried to copy the…
I’ve had a can of Dior’s Airflash foundation hanging about at home for a while and I have to admit that I hadn’t liked it very much: until I found out that I’ve been using it in completely the wrong way! I’ve been spraying my face as though painting a car and – as the makeup artist Jamie Coombes…
A much-requested foundation review; Chanel’s Perfection Lumiere Velvet. This is Chanel’s newest foundation release and I must say that it has instantly won me over. It’s one of those products that requires very little in the way of effort; it just works every time, and the end result is flawless. Perfection Lumiere Velvet is lightweight, but with quite…
I was editing some film yesterday and came across a couple of photos that I thought may be of interest to some of you. When I’m filming videos, I take a still photograph before each segment to autofocus the camera, and two of the stills from last week’s Beauty Reviews video show quite a good “before and after” for…
Another bunch of beauty reviews for you; this time I’m “live testing” Lancome’s new Miracle Air de Teint foundation, Clinique’s new Feathering mascara and a second mascara, a violet-hued Maxi Lash version from Guerlain. The response to these videos seems to be very good, so I’ll keep on doing them so long as there’s stuff to test out. And there’s always…
The second instalment of my “beauty reviews” – I do hope that this will become a regular feature. It’s useful, I think, to see products being applied – obviously you can’t feel the texture yourself, but you get a good idea of how a foundation blends, or how pigmented a lipstick is or how much coverage a…
I’ve been making an effort, recently, to try and do before-and-after photos when I review makeup products. It’s hard to do this for everything that’s out there, but there are certain launches that end up catching my eye. In the press release for a new cosmetics line, Studio 10, there was a “before” shot of a lady wearing…
Something slightly different in video-world this week, just to shake things up a bit. If you like the idea, I’ll do more. This is a little film dedicated purely to makeup reviews – more specifically, makeup reviews that have been requested by readers here on the website or people who follow my Twitter or Instagram…
A rather belated review, I’m afraid; I had a bit of a shade mix-up with the Eve Lom products when they were first launched and then they got a little overlooked for a while, partly because I wasn’t overly wowed by the product that I tried first (spoiler alert!) but mostly because my schedule went…
This video is a bit of a “precursor” to the full-length foundation guide that I’m going to film in the New Year. I’ve picked out my five most-used foundations and bases and shown them in action, along with a little blurb about each and the kind of coverage and finish that they give. I’d like…
Hands off, Terry – your sheer-expert foundation might be ‘by’ you, but now it’s all mine! Absolutely stonking beauty product of the week prize must go to By Terry’s Sheer-Expert Foundation. It’s so ridiculously glowy, but it has no shimmer in it at all. Wearing it is like being lit from within – look at…
It’s light, oil-free formula has saved me from shiny-faced humiliation more than a few times this week!
