IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

An impulse buy from website Ozsale, lead me to try the Ja-De brand, one I hadn't heard before, but at such a great deal, I was willing to give it a go. The Advanced Wear Foundation is formulated to adapt to all skin types, working to balance both dry and oily areas of the face. Being combination skin, this foundation was my obvious choice. The product also contains an SPF of 9, which isn't high, but I wear a sunscreen anyway. I like the addition of the nozzle shaped cap, giving added hygienic protection.

It seems like some time since I've posted a FOTD. To be honest, I haven't really been inspired by any of my makeup looks to showcase one on my blog. Lately, I have been quite simplistic with my looks, and when I used some vibrant colour onto my lids, I thought it would be great to share with you. Face Primer- Skin 79 BB cream Foundation- Ja-De Advance Wear Foundation Finishing Powder- The All Natural Face Apricot Kisses Glow Blush- L'Oreal blush that appears to have it's label rubbed off. Now that I have hit pan on this blush, I feel compelled to keep using it. I'm glad that I like it! lol Eyes Inner lid- The highlight shade from the 6 pan palette Lid- Some Evil Shades Panic, over the burgundy shade from the 6 pan palette. I have created a couple of looks using Panic, you can see here  that it is not quite as intense on its own. Crease colour is a dark brown with green shift. I blended out the crease with a neutral shade from the 88 Warm palette...
