So, I know there are a lot of mixed reviews about Matbelline's Dream Matte Mousse, you either love it or it hate it!I personally love it! I've been using it for around a year now, by recommendation of my best friend. I love the textureof it and when you first buy it, it has that perfectly whipped smooth look, and you don't want to touch it!I apply mine with a foundation brush, I don't use any expensive brushes, just a standard foundation brush that cost me £1 from Primark. I can understand when people say the look can be very cakey so I probably wouldn't recommend it if it'syour first foundation or you haven't had much experience with a foundation as there is quite a knack to doing it. Having developed that 'knack' I've found it's actually the best foundation I've used yet. If you can apply it to perfection, theoutcome is amazing and FLAWLESS. It literally covers EVERY pore/bump/spot and whatever imperfections you can think of.So I wouldn't just cast this foundation aside because any people that review it badly, review it BADLY. So just give it a try :)

Hi, so I just wanted to talk about make-up really, everything I like, when I started wearing it, what brands I use etc. So I started wearing make-up when I was around 13 (very young I know). Anyway, I started of wearing just a bit of eyeliner, then I bought mascara and then lipgloss. I never used to wear a lot, I wore it pretty natural, but as time went by I couldn't go a day without it. I thought I was so ugly and gross in school days, I still have a lot of self confidence issues which is why I wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis now. Anyway, I discovered eye shadow a little while later, I used the same khaki green eye shadow EVERYDAY :/ I wasn't a pro those days guys jheez! I then branched to a duo eye shadow from J.lO's then range, it was a light brown matte colour and a beige. I he used the beige up to my brown and the brown for my lid, and this was kind of my look from 14-15. Random thought, I don't know if anyone else remembers those roller ball lipglosses you used to get and the gloss was so runny and gross. I used to buy mine from New Look, I had like a thousand. So over time I started experimenting with different colour eye shadows, blusher and foundation.(I started wearing foundation when I was about 16-17)I wore a LOT of Rimmel make-up back then. I watched a tons of Youtube videos, QueenOfBlendingMUA was my fave I used to love her! I did have quite a natural talent for make up but did build a lot more talent with practice. I loved learning how to blend eye shadows together. So it was only about 2 years ago I started buying Mac, I never used to buy expensive make-up because I thought it wasn't worth it blah blah blah (So uneducated) but buying Mac make up was the best thing I ever did, it's amazing. The eye shadows for me are one of their best products, simply because there is NO fallout. I can't stand when you're doing makeup and there's bits of it all under your eye when you've already done your foundation :( I do use a lot of Sleek eye shadow pallets simply because they're more cost effective and the colours are amaze, although you do get fallout with Sleek eyeshadow. I use Sleek and Mac lipsticks, I think they're almost the same quality to be honest, Sleek do some really nice bold colors. The red Sleek lipstick ('Vixen') is the only red that I like for myself. 'Barely there' is another favourite from Sleek, it's a nude colour with a tiny hint of coral. In Mac I Love 'St. Germain' (obviously), 'Lovelorn', 'Brave', 'Angel'. . .The list is endless! One of my all time favourite eye shadows from Mac is 'Woodwinked', which I seen in so many tutorial videos on Youtube. So, getting to why I wear make up. I've always had issues with the way I look, from the start of secondary school to present. I've just always basically thought I was ugly so I hide myself with make-up. I have to wear make up even to go the corner shop, I know it's bad but that's how I am. I wear full make-up daily, I wish I wasn't so dependent on it but unfortunately I am. I like to wear make up because it makes me feel good about myself, completes my look, gives me a better attitude but more importantly CONFIDENCE! The difference of how I act wearing make up to not not wearing make up is phenomenal! I wouldn't even look someone in their face if I wasn't wearing any. So that's me, I know a lot of girls have the same attitude toward smake up which does make me feel a little bit better about it, just wish I was a natural beauty :/
