Stila illuminating liquid foundation

Wearing stila’s new Illuminating Liquid foundation has made me feel 30 watts brighter.  It is the best foundation I’ve ever used — EVER.  why? just when I was about to give up on liquid foundations, I find a light, medium coverage foundation that isn’t too tightening.  Have you ever openend your mouth and your jaw felt super tight? - not going to happen with stila.  It makes my skin look great and it’s comfortable! 

Most importantly, the shade, 30 watts is perfect for my MAC NC35 complexion, even in the daylight.  I also love the pump action of the frosted glass bottle, that’s right glass, NOT plastic.  The foundation itself glides onto my skin, I LoVe the coverage.  It’s described as sheer to medium coverage but it really covers up my hyperpigmentation so I would call it medium + coverage.

Ten Illuminating Liquid foundation shades are availabe from 10 t0 100 watts.  My skin is looking near perfect, I’ll have some pics soon but I couldn’t wait any longer, this info had to get out!  Have you had your lightbulb moment?

If you truly want to create art you need good brushes.  Afterglow uses the highest quality taklon (a man-made fiber) so your brush is cruelty free!   Get the best results when applying mineral makeup with Afterglow’s quality brushes with no shedding - I can’t stand when the hairs of brushes come off and are all over my face!  The taklon fibers pick up the color better than a cheap brush and feels so good on my skin.

Wash brushes regularly with mild shampoo to get excess makeup and dust out.  Afterglow has paired the adorable little Kabuki brush with a sweet, silver, key ringed bag to keep the excess powder out of your iPod and other purse paraphenalia while on the go.  

Afterglow makes vegan products, never tested on animals and is free of many harmful ingredients. 

More Afterglow coming up, till then…
