How To Wear Glossier Skin Tint With Acne + Scarring

Glossier's Skin Tint was a product I always thought was not for me...Barely there, watery, sheer and no coverage, didn't really sound like a good match for acne prone skin. But, fear not, just because you have acne and blemishes does not mean you can't wear sheer coverage! One of the reasons I love this because you can use it so many different ways! I have regular hormonal acne and intense scarring, particularly around my cheekbone area... but that doesn't mean I want to wear full coverage foundation everyday, so here are some ways I use Glossier's skin tint, whilst having cystic acne.

1. LAYER WITH CONCEALER
So one of my favourite things to do when wearing Glossier's Skin Tint is use a high coverage concealer in areas that need it. So I will go in with my Nars matte concealer and spot conceal my cystic acne and then put a few drops of the skin tint on a brush and buff it into my skin. This evens out my skin tone and really blends my concealer into my skin, so it just looks like skin. I hate wearing concealer on its own as I feel like my skin looks patchy... but with a skin tint over the top it looks like I have no makeup on, but with perfect skin! This is a great way to cover the areas you want without feeling like you have no option but to wear heavy makeup.

2. MIX IT INTO A HIGH COVERAGE FOUNDATION
I know as well as anyone that high coverage foundation can look pretty unnatural and if you are going for a no makeup makeup look, using a high coverage foundation may not be the ideal choice. But if you still want coverage but want a more natural finish, take your favourite foundation and mix in a few drops of Glossier's Skin Tint. This gives any high coverage foundation, a gorgeous dewy glow, which still covers all my problem areas, but just looks a bit more natural.

3. MIX IT WITH A HIGH COVERAGE CONCEALER
This is my favourite way to use skin tint by far... I take my favourite concealer, which at the minute is my Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer and wipe the applicator on the back of my hand, leaving a bit of product. I then mix in a few drops of Glossier Skin Tint and use it as a foundation. It gives a really nice effect and essentially just adds a bit of coverage to the Tint.

4.LOVE YOUR SKIN!
My last way of wearing skin tint is just as it is. Yes I have cystic acne, and this will definitely not hide it. But as I get older the more I realise, there is no such thing as perfect skin, and learning to love your own skin for all its flaws and imperfections is the key to confidence. The more and more I used skin tint the more I found myself accepting my acne and skin! So don't feel like you have to cover your skin. Love who you are !

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...

July Empties

Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through. The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite. My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Glossier Skywash Review

Whenever Glossier launches anything, I just can't resist! I always loved the idea of swipe on liquid eyeshadows, but Glossiers lidstar's were just too shimmery for my taste... but Skywash.... right up my alley! These are matte liquid Eyeshadows, which claim to be buildable, long lasting (up to twelve hours) and easy to apply. I bought the shades echo, a cocoa brown and terra, a warm orange based brown. I love the concealer, doe foot like applicator, as it is small enough to swipe a good amount on my eyelid, without smearing it everywhere. I honestly can't tell you how easy these are to apply and blend out. A quick swipe on my eye and tap tap tap... I have a gorgeous wash of colour that's not patchy and looks divine! I love how quick and easy these are to apply and the fact they applied evenly really shocked me. They are also buildable, applying two coats gives me more of an evening look and a stronger wash of colour. To be honest... they aren't super long wear...
