Florma SA

I was introduced to Florma SA by Rushana Isaacs at a Glam Queens, Mocktails and Makeovers event, held in September. 

   


  
I was so intrigued by the perfect coverage foundation, as it required no translucent powder to set it. I had looked Florma SA up on Instagram and DM to enquire about getting samples, as I have typical Indian skin tone and require 2 colors of foundation to achieve my perfect coverage. The samples had cost a total of R99-00 including delivery. Florma SA had just asked for my current foundation brand names and the tone codes I use at the moment. It took them 3 days to match my colors but they had kept me updated daily till it was dispatched. When my samples arrived, I was super excited to try them out.
















I decided to put Florma SA perfect coverage foundation to the test, as many as the samples would allow and to my surprise they allowed, 4 looks with 4 different brushes and methods to see if I could an achieve flawless perfection.



The first look was a nude and natural dewy look created using the real technique foundation brush for an airbrushed look

The second look was an Indian cultural look with a rich golden glow with a deep and intriguing story, using a real techniques kabuki brush.




The third was a simple ballet glamour look, with a feather light rose gold glow, this look was achieved using a cheaper quality brush by impulse




The last look was a modest glamour look fit enough for the fashion runway. This look was created with a silicone blender





After all 4 looks were done and worn over a long period of time ranging from 8 hours to 12 hours a time, I was impressed that the perfect coverage foundation required no buffing during the day or translucent powder to set it, only a setting spray. The product did not shine or cake on my oily T-zone, the foundation had remained in place. The South African climate is not the easiest one to wear flawless make-up in, without a fuss or a buff, but with this foundation I have found it to be adjustable to the climate and the maintenance while wearing is minimal. I am a Makeup Artist by profession but when it comes to my own makeup, I prefer minimal effort and minimal maintenance during the course of the day.






Finally, I decided to purchase the full-size product at a cost of R349-00 each, Florma SA, they were helpful and assisted me through the online purchase process, in 2 days my delivery was on my work desk. A product I would recommend to any one in search for an excellent coverage foundation.

The Shiseido 7 Color Powders Revival Centennial Edition

Move over... Creamy  color  correctors! There's a new set of skin-evening formulas in town, and they now come in powder form.    Allow me to introduce you to the just-launched Shiseido 7 Color Powders Revival Centennial Edition set, which features,  count 'em ,  seven color-correcting powders. In honor of Shiseido's O.G. Rainbow Beauty Powder, which launched in 1917 almost 100 years ago , the beauty giant just dropped a gorgeous, limited-edition set of color-correcting powders, all neatly packaged in small satin cream-colored boxes reminiscent of sweet little  engagement ring  boxes. Sadly, no sparklers were stashed in these mini cases. Like other color correctors on the market, these powders are designed to cover specific issues. So, for example, white, which should be applied to the T-zone, brightens; yellow evens out the complexion all over; beige smooths texture; rose, which should be brushed on the apples of ...

An update on havoc, or maybe not... PART 1

OMG, This was typed out and I forgot to post it. So, as promised I would give an update on my new take on life for 2018. One month down the line and I have no words to associate with this way of life. It had strong points, weak points and points of pure surprise. Being un-ruled by uniformity and time limits, self given freedom, made days go by with such bliss. I would go to work and eat at odd times, do work in my own time and realized I worked better working at my own pace with no background harping from management behind me. How did I get management to back off my case, I didn't do it intentionally, it was a random out burst of frustration. I was handed a project to handle with a 2 day tight time frame, and, me going through a phase of rebellious change was not going to keep to this time frame, unless I truly wanted to, which at that point I didn't want to. I had brainstormed ideas and methods of completion of the work and choosing the quickest way forward. It was ...
