Etude House Face Color Corset in No.1 I was never into shimmery blushes and lipsticks. I always feel that shimmery blushes would enlarge my pores and make it more conspicuous than usual. I would always opt for the matte or satin finish blushes. However, since I am loving the Korean makeup look, I am so drawn to their glowing skin. Their secret? Highlighters!!! Wahh.. I am so in love with this picture of Dara Park of 2ne1. (credits to Etude House FB page for this picture) I just can't stop staring. Her skin looks sooooo amazing. When I saw this ad at Etude House counters, I knew I have to get a highlighter. I have a highlighter which looks very natural on me. Click here for more info. I wanted something more striking but not too garish on my medium skin tone. I am very curious with white highlighters but I was really afraid that it would look so off on my medium skin. I asked my beloved DUX/Sorority Sister/Atty. Anna to buy me some makeup at Etude House when she went to Korea. The prices are lower compared here in the local market. I got one of their Face Color Corset. |
I love Etude's packaging. They always look so cute. On the pan it looks a light pinkish shade. |
The product is not hard to pick up and not too powdery. |

The shade looks scary muddy brown, perfect from medium skin tones (in my opinion). It has tiny gold flecks which is not visible when you apply the powder. |

I can't get enough of them. How I wished I watched this show live. I MUST lose weight not to the point of being skin and bone. Just lose the excess fat I gained from my review (excess fat ba ang 10 pounds? haha). I am so inspired that it makes me wanna run on the threadmill all day. Adam Levine is so hot.. wahhh.. The scene where he kissed Anne V was so epic. It really deserves a slow motion. haha
I find this ad sexier. I love women in suits. You do not have to bare skin to look HOT!
Have a fabulous day everyone!!

She looks so gorgeous in this video.
The foundation has a spatula. I think this is really helpful if the bottle does not come with a pump. |
When blended. My shade formula is actually 3/4 of no. 3 and 1/3 of no. 2. I should get the right shade or else... Hello, Floating face!! |
I love MAC NC35. This is the perfect shade for me. It blends so well with my skin tone. |
Hello bare face! I am really comfortable with my bare face. I can go out my house with it. I just hate my dark bags. Can you see? Arghhh!! |
With Fanny Serrano Powder Foundation in Chino. My face looks so even and smooth (EHEM...thanks to foundation. To whoever invented foundation, cheers! ). What I like about this foundation? Affordable. I got it on sale for 100 pesos!! It did not cause me any zit or rashes. I use it more often than my Maybelline Pure Minerals Liquid Foundation (this is my to-go-foundation before if I want a bit more coverage.. but the coverage is really light for my liking). I was actually afraid to try this since because my skin usually breaks out with local foundations specifically Ever Bilena. The coverage is so good. I can say that I will give it a 5/5 ranking. It applies so smoothly and evens out my skin so well. I like the spatula that comes with it. I do not have to dig inside the bottle using my finger or pour the product. Applying this foundation is mess free thanks to the spatula. haha It has this sweet mocha scent. Call it weird, I do not care but I am definitely loving it. :D What I do not like about this foundation? The shade selection is really poor. I do not know what is wrong with Filipino makeup companies why can't they get the right shade for Filipina (Except for Fanny Serrano.. Kudos to your foundations that suits Filipina skin very well. I think). Do I have to reiterate that WE ARE YOUR MARKET. I have a normal skin shade like most Filipina. I am not morena nor fair. I have a medium yellow skin tone and I just can't find my shade. That is just freaking crazy. I do not know who they test on to arrive at these shades. All I know is.. it is an absolute FAIL! I should be giving this foundation an HG status material were it not for the limited shades. Also, if the weather is too humid, it makes my skin a bit oily too but since I have dry skin this is not a very big deal for me. Over all, this foundation is really good. Among the local brands that sells liquid foundation, I can say this is on top of the line. I just want to say that if this foundation worked for me it does not mean it will for you. As the Latin phrase goes.. Caveat emptor, in other words, let the buyer beware. Godbless everyone. :D Do not forget to join my Sigma F80 brush giveaway here: http://www.mylucidintervals.com/2011/11/sigma-f80-brush-review-and-giveaway.html If you have any questions, drop it here: http://www.mylucidintervals.com/p/ask-away.html |
