Lily Lolo mineral foundation has been my go-to foundation for a year or so now. I didn't believe that a powder could give me the coverage I needed until I saw some video's on YouTube and photos on blogs. I got myself some samples and my love for minerals started there. I firmly believe that it really helped my skin as well.

I find mineral concealer to be a bit rubbish on covering my rosacea, under eye circles & acne scarring. To be fair I do have a lot to conceal, so I reach for my Benefit Boi-ing and erase paste every day without fail. The fair shade in both of those matches me perfectly so I guess I'm lucky that I'm one of the 3 shades that they do.
After some major concealing and a light dusting of lily lolo I find I've created that fresh faced look I love. With a dusting of a peachy toned blush on my cheeks, a few coats of mascara to open up my eyes & a bit of lip balm I'm good to go.
Do you ladies like the natural look or do you prefer something a little bit more?

wow you are stunning!
ReplyDeletei'm going to put your blog in my sidebar

Aww thank you lovely! xoxo
ReplyDeleteit's hard to believe you once had troublesome skin, it looks so flawless now.
ReplyDeletei'm going through a bit of a break out at the moment (hello, hormones) but i avoid caking on foundation by using the correct concealers. green concealer does me wonders :)
i can't say i'm loyal to any 'look' from day to day, i like to spice things up depending on my mood :]
I was going to say the same as Streetlighteyes - You'd never guess you had problem skin. It seriously does look flawless, all nice and dewy!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the 'natural' look atm too, mineral stuff is amazing and I'm not getting the breakouts I used to when I used liquid foundation. I'm using E.L.F (first time mineral user = didn't want to spend much!) But I've put Lolo onto my Birthday list :) xo
Your gorgeous Jen :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear the natural look, but i get to carried away and apply more and more.. & i love to wear e/s everyday sooo it doesnt look natural
My mum bought Bare Minerals for me for xmas, and i actually really like it.. the down side is because im sooooo pale.. fairly light is abit too dark for me :/
Think i'll have to give lily lolo a try :)
xx

ReplyDeletei agree with abbie, i'd like to do the natural but i go crazy haha.

ReplyDeletenow I go natural everywhere!
I love Lily Lolo
You look lovely 'au naturel' Jennie.
ReplyDeleteWish I could/was brave enough to pull off the natural bare faced look, but think im too dependent on my studio fix! :(
Really lovely and has inspired me tho to let my skin breathe a bit.

I can't believe you've got acne scars - I can't notice any at all! I definately prefer the natural look, I think I'll be saving the smokey eyes look until next winter - although I do love bright red lipstick, that can change your whole look completely :)
ReplyDeleteyou look beautiful darling, i wish i looked this good with next to no make up on :)
ReplyDeletehugs hugs
xoxo
thank you lovelies!
ReplyDeletethe camera doesn't pick up my imperfections - trust me, there are lots of them hehe.
xoxo
i really like the natural look. :) you look great with no makeup on.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go for the barefaced look, but sadly I have a blusher addiction that is far from natural! And I like dark, smokey eyes too.
ReplyDeleteI'm using the new Bourjois Mineral Foundation at the moment and really like it, along with Erase Paste under my eyes and Rimmel's Hide The Blemish elsewhere. Will have to give LIly Lolo a try when I need more!
Great post... I prefer the natural, dewy fresh look for everyday unless it was a special occasion :) Mon Mode Blog
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks like porcelin! You lucky girl :) Im trying to give my skin a break just now and rock the natural look. Its easier over time, you realise how much blush and concealer you really used to rely on haha xx
