Maquillage Face creator

For my birthday, my dearie Charrisa also gave me another item-- the Maquillage Face Creator from Shiseido! *love*

I originally have another one already (which is no. 33 of the series for natural glow). Got this when it was first released and it has been one of my staple when I see that my face is bloated like a balloon! and it really works to slim the face down especially for photos! Yes, it is an illusion, but who cares! as long as I appear to have a skinny face! I'm sure many gals out there will be nodding in agreement! hehe.. :)




now now, back to this one (no. 66 of the series for the nude look). It looks so sweet and pretty with its glittery bits all over the 5 colors! But I was once again reminded that the glittery bits you see is only at the top layer of the powder! when you swipe your brush a few times over the colors, the glittery bits will cease to exist!! and what you get is just the matte colors that you see in my comparison photo!

The face contouring effect is not as obvious as compared to the no. 33 (on the right) but it does make the whole look less made up. I would definitely recommend the no. 66 (on the left) for day time and no. 33 for night!! its a perfect match this way! no. 66 is also much easier to blend without worrying that you will look patchy and dirty! Dirty look comes from the very dark color which is the one that helps to contour the most! If you have a heavy hand at this, you will definitely look dirty at the outer rims of your face! so do beware! :)

if you are one who wears BB cream, you can jolly well skip the loose powder and jump straight into contouring with the no. 66! i've tried it this morning and it looks indeed very natural and not too powdery (as if you have a very thick makeup on!)

the blush color on no. 66 is also very sweet and shows up well on light colored skin.. :) whereas the blush on no. 33 has the orangey tone which works slightly better for darker skin color to give the rosy and suntanned glow.. :)
