Cover FX Setting FX Translucent Setting Powder

While I am not usually a powder girl, some makeup control is necessary in my hot, sticky, Texas Summer.  But I was looking for something that didn’t create an artificial matte look because I like to rock some “dew”.  Good thing I came across sweet Melissa at CoverFX who introduced me to Translucent Setting Powder in Dark. 

I am relatively fair so I was a bit taken aback when I saw the darkness of the powder. But I gave it a chance. So when you see it in person DO NOT ABORT. I repeat DO NOT ABORT.  Even though it appeared dark, it comes off as a great shade for me in the summer. 

It appears on the skin with a sheer dose of natural and sunkissed color. It isn’t a bronzer as the color intensity isn’t strong enough for that effect.  But it simply adds a “summer radiance” or glow.  I blend all over with my Le Metier de Beaute Kabuki brush. The powder also comes in Translucent for those who want to shy away from color.  This would also work great in the winter.

COVER FX EyePrep Anti-Age Smoothing Primer

Other than through social media, I had not been exposed to the COVER FX line of makeup and skincare.  But I was immediately intrigued as it was rave reviews from dermatologists – surely they know what they are doing?!  I was able to pick up a few products at The Makeup Show, but my favorite is the EyePrep Anti-Age Smoothing Primer. This is like a triple duty wonder tool: anti-aging benefits, lightweight primer to be worn alone or under eye makeup AND improves the look of the undereye.  It is not your typical, silky primer.  You can really detect hydration, and because of this, the skin around my eyes appears smoother and brighter.  I can even get away with a this primer and a little Touche Eclat Radiant Touch.

And, making me love this company even more:
