Coastal Scents HD Foundation Review

Coastal Scents HD Foundation in shades 14, 07, and 01
I bought the lightest shade the middle shade and the darkest shade so I'd be able to mix and get the perfect shade for most people. I tried it on today and I can't say its not amazing or the best foundation I've used. I've gotten a better finish with my MAC Studo Sculpt foundation. I'm going to try different ways in applying it and different amounts to see if it gets any better. The way I like to apply it is I put a small amount on a palette and dip my MAC 109 brush in it. Then I stipple and swirl so I'm not using a lot on my face. It's a light to medium finish. Compared to MUFE's HD foundation I can't say it's the same at all. MUFE's HD is a heavier coverage and it gives you an airbrush finish like face. As I was playing with Coastal Scents HD on my hand it felt like I had to put a good a mount on my skin to make it seem airbrushed like. and So of course HD means it should look great on camera right? I do like how it didn't give me a whitish haze on my face so that's one plus but it still looks like its missing something in the ingredients. I absolutely love my MAC studio sculpt even on camera I have nothing bad to say about it. So all in all Coastal Scents HD Foundation its a good foundation if you want a cheap foundation that gives you a light to medium foundation. I don't exactly know if it's "HD' if you know what I mean. But try it out for your self when they have a sale going on I bought mine when everything on their site was 25% off. If your an NC 40 in MAC the shade 07 should match you.






Coastal Scents Gel liner in True black
It's like anyother gel liner but a when I stuck my spatula in it, it was kind of hard. I had to warm it up back in for with a brush. So it's still a good alternative to MAC fluidline

Wolfe Bros HydroColors

So I've been using Wolfe Bros brand Hydrocolors cakes for a while now, they're similiar to Kryolans aquacolor cakes, Ben Nyes, and Mehrons. I heard rave reviews about this brand and I have to say I love it. The neon palette is comparable to Kryolans UV palette but cheaper! This cost me about 16 dollars and they sell the refills for it also for I think 3 dollars. As you can see I used the Essentials (primary colors) palette quite often. The colors are yellow, dark green, white, blue, black, red. These are great to use as eye shadows also. You have to be fast at blending and may need to blend with powder eyeshadow on top but it makes the shadows very vibrant.

This was a project I had to do in class and the the task was to be an animal. Of course I wanted to push my self and do something hard so I chose a catepillar. To get that vibrant green I mixed the hydrocolors together. It's kind of tough to mix but all you have to do is take your spatula and scrape off dark green, yellow, neon green, and white add the slightest amount of water and mix the colors on a metal palette.
