Touch your face now, is your T-zone oily? I bet it is.
I have dry skin, and yet my T-zone gets shiny towards the end of the day.
But... No more shiny T-zone, No more visible pores with this NEW FOUNDATIONNNNNNNNNN!!!!
It's the ettusais Duo and in a pretty pink limited edition case!!
(SGD $48/Refill & SGD$20/case)
(For a limited period: SGD$56 for both the refill & limited edition case)
ettusais Duo is a combination foundation. The lighter part is the shine prevention powder and the darker part is the pore covering powder. It comes in 5 shades. I'm using 30Beige.
Here it is in my make up bag which I took to Hungary with me. It has everything I want in a foundation. It eliminates shine from excess sebum, conceals pores and blemishes, it evens out my skin tone and protects my skin with SPF16PA++
(p/s- On some days, I skip foundation altogether. Even on its own, it gives my skin a healthy glow because it contains Flash Powder. )
Step 2: I use the shine prevention powder (lighter part) of the Duo foundation on my T-zone. Only a very thin layer is enough, it will work its magic, there's no need to cake it on. I tend to have greasy eyelids usually, so I pat a little of this onto my eyelids. ( Doubles up as a great base for my eyeshadows!!)
With conventional powders, pores are visible because it just plugs up pores but you will still be able to see that your skin is uneven. The pore covering powder hides visible pores because it has a light scatering effect. This means that no shadow will be casted within the pore, and hence this gives the appearance of smoother and softer skin.
It took us more than an hour to get to the capital (where the photo studio is).
When I got to the dressing room and unpacked my stuff (messy as usual), I was delighted to find that my foundation was still matt and the coverage was still so flawless!

I had a photoshoot in Budapest, and as usual... I was running late. I turned the room into a big mess rushing to get ready! My BF had a nap while waiting for me. LoL.
Thank goodness it only took minutes to put my face on! :)
Here's how I did it:
Step 1: Base Version Up UV (SGD$41)
This is my skincare and a make up base rolled into one. I apply a thin layer over my skin, spreading lightly with my fingers. It covers freckles and blemishes well. It's ok to use it on the eye area too.

Basically you can use this on anywhere which tends to get oily, not just your T-zone. It has no colour or pigment.
Step 3: I use the pore covering powder (darker part of the Duo cake) on my entire face. I start applying on my T-zone and cheek area and gently spread it out towards the forehead and jawline.

A hint of blusher and gloss on my lips, and I was ready for the shoot.
We even had some shots done outdoors under natural light outdoors...
I love how this foundation can keep my skin looking smooth for hours and hours. It's lightweight, yet gives enough coverage for a photoshoot! The colour pigments of this foundation doesn't change, it prevents shine, minimizes pores and keeps skin looking smooth.

Outdoor pics are a million times better.
It has nothing to do with the indoor/outdoor lights.
Beautiful case and great foundation! Love the pink!
I've no inkling about photography. All I can comment on is what I see. If it doesn't look good, it doesn't look good, vintage or not. beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for me, those photos just don't work for HJ.
Falsies however takes too much time n is very inconvenient. Not to mention yours truly have no clue how to go about doing it. :(
@anonymous5.31 .. then u will like the final pics on http://photoblog.hu
@someone with half a brain - yep those pics are tinted... i am not really beigy yellow coloured :D u are right
@S.A.P - YAY!! btw, just curious.. what does SAP stand for??
@Vick - hmm.. the sparkling pact definitely has a more brighter look on the face.
I find the coverage from the DUO foundation is better.
my advice - if you want something to cover blemishes and stay matt, then get the DUO. If you prefer something light and vibrant looking, get the sparkling pact. ( if u want extra coverage with sparkling pact, use the base version up UV base under it)
@I want lashes... erm.. i wld advice against long term lash extensions. ( i had mine for like 1 year plus.. month after month... and my lashes are STILL not as long as they were before the extensions!).
I use stick ons now... i must say,, pain in the ass at first (first maybe 10 times of using). but when u get used to it, it's easy peasy... I co mine in under a minute now... n am very confident tht they wont peel off... ( at first, they wld start peeling off.. lol!). now no prob, I am very pro. lol.
Under a minute is the fastest I can go, cos the glue takes abt 30 seconds to dry and get tacky..
Last time, everytime i do videos readers bitch abt the way I speak. Now everytime I do videos, they complain it's shitty quality. I will do it if I get a good vid cam, otherwise.. if i use my built in web cam, quality shitty again. :(
@8.12- I credited him in this post actually. Ervin Sperla (http://photoblog.hu).
@anon12.27- no la... i didn't pay for the shoot. But he does photograph people commercially.
Photographer is GB's friend whom we had coffee with the second day we were in Hungary. Then we arranged a shoot a few days after. :)
