A little while ago I was contacted by a representative for MAKE UP FOR EVER with an invitation to attend the launch of the HD Complexion Starter Kit at Sephora in Halifax. Being of sound mind I quickly RSVPd YES! A fun makeover just 'cause - how could I not?
The makeup artist in attendance walked us through the products she was going to use and then sat us down for an application. I obviously forgot to take photos the day of, but below you can see me before, with no makeup and after*, once I applied the products from the HD complexion starter kit. The MAKE UP FOR EVER products really offer amazing coverage. I know this because after the event Jack and I were out for a walk, it was freezing and you couldn't even see that my nose was red [usually I look like rudolph]. Being able to cover up the blotchiness of my super reactive skin? That is all the convincing I need!
*note: my under-eye coverage, blush and eyeliner are not MAKE UP FOR EVER
**I was not paid for this review but I did receive the above products free for attending the event at Sephora. All the views expressed are my own.
I love the effect of these products! :) I use the HD Foundation but haven't tried anything else in the range. Do you think it's worth it to buy the primer and the powder?

I have used that primer for years and it is unbeatable!! so good :) Great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat review! Finding a shade of foundation that works for your complexion is such a win.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! :) I love primers ! I never used to use them, but now for events and going out I could never go without! It just keeps everything in its place. What did you think?
ReplyDeletealways wondered what their products were like!..... and after this post and amanda's comments below i'd say they are worthy of a whirl! thanks Sorren!
ReplyDeleteI think the primer is pretty good and from what people are saying above it's actually really good. But for me, it was the powder that blew my socks off! Seriously, I am definitely going to buy this powder again!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is! For me, we actually combined the two different foundations to come up with my perfect shade.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have to test it one day - primer without the powder and powder without the primer because I honestly cannot decide between the two. This primer is amazing because it also gives instant moisture that allows your face not to dry out when you put the powder on top.
ReplyDeletethey definitely are! I'm always so skeptical of makeup and switching brands but this line really blew my socks off!
