Hey everyone!! I have been playing around with my Lioele BB cream and trying to create different finishes with the cream. So far, I found that it gives me a very glowy complexion compared to some of my other foundations or powders. It's a bit heavier than a tinted moisturizer and is on the same level of coverage as a liquid foundation. I purchased it on Ebay. I took a risk and bought it there because a lot of the shops I looked at didn't have it in stock and I wanted it so badly! LOL =p
I created a very simple look using the Lioele BB cream and some MAC eye shadows. One of my fave palettes from MAC is Delights palette that came out awhile ago.
I love how it has that nice sheen to it. The pink shadow on the top right hand corner doubles as a highlighter. I mostly use the the pink and the purple below it. It's not as dark as it looks, since you can blend it out into different levels of wear.
Here is the final look I did combining the eye shadows and the BB cream. I used the pink and purple in the first and second row. I was trying to use the shadows to create a deeper depth in my eyes but I can see now that it's going to take a little more practice =p I'm not currently using an eyeshadow base but I'm thinking how much more enhanced the products will look if I do! An eye shadow primer is next in line :)
I like any kind of creams that illuminate the skin without the greasy look. Sometimes highlighters can be a bit much to purchase on its own, since you won't use it as much as a normal powder or foundation. I have combination skin so it's really important that the glowy component in makeup is not overbearing otherwise you look like you just had a session with a hardcore personal trainer o_o That's not ideal.
I was very impressed with this Lioele's Beyond the Solution BB cream. It goes on a little light, but it eventually blends into skin after an hour or so. I snapped these pictures after 8 hrs of work! LOL Didn't do much touch ups during the day but I brushed my hair and applied a little powder.
Here it is again. I know I need to stop raving about this =p But I felt I didn't have proper swatches before.
Very creamy texture, smells a little medicinal but it's not lingering. Will match skin tones in NC15-30, my guess. I know it's a big leap from 15-30, but it does blend well :)
Goodnight! =)
NOTE: I bought the BB Cream here. Korean based seller that I've had no problems with. Free shipping that took 10 days to arrive.
