With there being so many makeup brands, it feels intimidating when it comes to makeup shopping. If I want a new mascara, which brand do I go to? Makeup Revolution is one of those brands which I always see and hear about. Something entices me over to their stall in Superdrug but I'm usually overwhelmed from all the beautiful products and cannot choose anything to buy. I'm still quite a newbie to the brand, and when I received two of their goodies, I was adamant I was trying them out that exact day.
Both products are fairly new, the first one being the Makeup Revolution Duo Face Sculpt*, I believe it was released on 24th December. This contour kit makes life easier; it eases contouring. The contour shade, on the right, is an ideal shade to contour. Being pale, I often struggle finding a shade that doesn't look "muddy" or "dirty", however, this isn't in any way. It creates a subtle contour (or sharp contour if that's your aim!) but looks effective either way. The white shade is perfect for highlighting under your eyes, down your nose, your forehead and even to sharpen your contour. I don't like matte highlight on my cheekbones, but can be used to do so.
When I saw I had been sent this gem, I may have squealed a little. The Makeup Revolution Pro Illuminate* highlighter is a true beauty. I might have a slight confession - I think I love highlighters.. This has been my absolutely favourite highlighter lately! I have used it almost everyday since I got it. Just look at it, isn't it gorgeous? It's quite a warm, gold tone which complements my skintone extremely well! The littlest bit goes the longest way where this is concerned - it doesn't lack pigmentation for sure! The pan itself is rather large, which means you're getting a lot for your moneys worth.

As you can see, each product is pigmented, and of course is buildable. Personally, I think my favourite product has to be the highlighter - especially with being such a highlighter addict! For £4 each, I find both these products are bargains! I know for sure I'll be getting more of their highlighters in the foreseeable future.
Have you tried Makeup Revolution? What do you advise I buy next?

There's too much that I want aha! Ooh you'd particularly like the illuminator highlighter then! x
DeleteI've heard a lot of good things about their highlighters, I need to try them out and at £4 its a steal! xx
ReplyDeletewww.adaliascloset.blogspot.co.uk
Their highlighters seem really popular! Yep, £4 is a total bargain! x
DeleteLove makeup revolution! So affordable but they could do better with catering for dark skin tones xx www.tashpantz.com
ReplyDeleteI want to try even more of the brand! As I'm pale, I tend to go lighter, however, I have noticed that the darker skin tones haven't got much choice with foundations, although, I often see this with many brands! x
DeleteOoo, that highlighter looks so pretty! I think it would be too dark for me but it would make for a really nice eyeshadow shade!
ReplyDeleteMolly and Stacie
It's actually gorgeous for highlighting the inner corner and brow bone! x
DeleteI swear I'm the only one who hasn't heard of this brand? I have to try it! x
ReplyDeleteSpeckle of Lisa
Where you been hiding my girl?! x
DeleteI'm also pretty fair, so I struggle finding a good contour shade, too! I usually go for something subtle, so this sounds like something I might like! Thanks for sharing!

DeleteWhoa that illuminator looks so pretty! I haven't tried anything from Makeup Revolution yet but everytime I see some of them I know I need to!
