Foundation find under 10€

pretty by flormar foundation

Sometimes affordable makeup products surprise me. Especially foundations. I’m accustomed to using more money on foundations and still to this day I think there’s just something special about luxury foundations.

And yet sometimes I stumble upon a great foundation, that is in no way luxurious or expensive. Except in use: it blends seamlessly, it creates a beautiful canvas to my face and it’s so good, I find myself grabbing it more often than my other foundations.

Today I’ll talk about a foundation that is like that – affordable, but awesome.

Pretty by Flormar Weightless Foundation

The foundation I’m talking about is Weightless Foundation by Pretty by Flormar. It’s a new brand, which is owned by Flormar. The brand is from Turkey.

The consistency in the foundation is quite thin and liquid. It makes it easy to apply and blend. Even though the name suggests the foundation is quite light, it still has amazing coverage. It’s buildable and I feel like it hides everything it’s supposed to hide, without looking like a mask.

It almost looks like my skin, but just a more perfect version of it. Which, I guess, is pretty good from a 10€ foundation.

The longevity with the foundation is pretty good. It stays nicely on my skin, but might need a bit of powdering during the day. I pair the foundation with good mattifying primers and powders, which make it even more long lasting. If your skin is more on the oily side, I suggest using a mattifying primer and a good powder as well.

The brand just recently came to Finland and you can buy it here from Tokmanni stores. Internationally I’m not sure about it’s availability. I think you have better chances at finding Flormar (which has some good products as well, by the way!). But if you ever stumble to this brand, make sure to check it out. I also like their blush, eyeliners and that rosy pink lipstick.

CRACKED BLUE SKULL – Easy Halloween makeup tutorial

easy skull with cracks tutorial

Creating a skull makeup is easier than you’d think. Here’s proof: this is the second skull, I’ve ever made. Like, ever. Even if it didn’t turn out perfect, it still looks like a skull. Like, no one is gonna ask you at a Halloween party: “what are you supposed to be?” Duh, it’s a skull.

Easy Halloween makeup

You can use these instructions to create an easy Halloween skull makeup. Here I added some cracks on the skull, just to make it interesting. You could also add pearls, diamonds and some glitter. You can decorate it however you want, once you have the base of it done: eyes, nose, cheek contour and teeth. If you’re more into glam, I have another tutorial for a purple glam skull.

Another thing I want to note, is that when you’re creating a skull makeup – it actually looks pretty rad when it’s not perfect. When you can see the brush strokes and lines. I gotta admit, the hardest part is to paint the teeth, but actually those look quite cool messy as well.

It’s Halloween – play a little, experiment and have fun.

One easy way to make your skull more interesting is to use another color under the black color. Like I used blue here. I love blue. You could also use some other color instead of white as your base.

How to make the teeth even easier: just stop at the first picture. I’ve seen lots of looks, where the teeth are drawn with just simple black lines.

And since I’m not a tooth professional (yeah, I’ll admit), check out Chrisspy’s video tutorial on easy skull makeup. On the video she shows exactly how to paint those teeth.

And that’s it! It’s been fun to get out of my comfort zone and play with Halloween makeup. I’m so used to doing beauty makeup, it’s refreshing to do something unconventional for a change.

What you need to re-create this skull:

*CC Beauty Face & Body Paints with brushes
*Black Eyeliner

 

Don’t forget to check out my other skull tutorial – purple glam skull with diamonds!
