So, today Im going to be talking about the Hard Formula Brow Pencil and Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation.
Hard Formula Brow Pencil - This is the most unique brown pencil I have ever used or seen! Why? Well although the pencil can be sharpened with a regular sharpener, it's recommended that you go instore and have it sharpened using a kind of pen-knife into a broad, flat shape. This is done for the lifetime of the product as a complementary service at any Shu Uemura counter. I have found that this different approach to shaping the pencil has a huge benefit for the way in which my brows look compared to other pencils I have used. The website states that the pencil only releases colour pigment when it interacts with the oils in the brown hairs giving natural and defined brows. It is definitely true that they look much more natural and that 'harshness' which is all to easy to get when enhancing your brows has been completely removed. I give this product a well deserved 10 out of 10.Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation - The problem Ive had in the past with foundations is that they don't moisturise my dry skin enough, they cause spots and don't last through the day or night! This product says that it gives coverage, yet allows skin to look flawless. It is also said to give skin a fresh and natural look, be semi-matt and give a hydrating sensation. Does it pass the test?
Well, Ive been using it for about a month now, and apart from the usual once per month breakout I seem to get around one side of my chin (one of the many perils of being a girl!) my skin has been crystal. It both feels and looks smooth and fresh and I can easily go out after work without having to re-apply. It also smells divine too; a bit of a common theme with this brand! I will gladly give this product a 9 out of 10. It misses out on the 10 mark, purely because it isn't the cheapest of products at approx £28. Not that cheap is good, because it often isn't and I usually tend to spend approx £20 on foundations anyway, but at near the £28 mark and considering the amount of money I spend on make-up, I have to have some restrictions, if only a few! I suppose out of all the make-up products a person uses, the foundation could be the most important, as it gets abosorbed by pretty much, your whole face! It therefore makes sense to spend a bit more on your foundation. Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation, would be a good choice to make!
