Modern "Pin-up" Makeup

Manhattan cover stick in 2 sable

Recently, I had to cover up the occasional blemish and I realized I did not really own any cover sticks, hence I bought Manhattan cover stick. It is supposed to reliably conceal blemishes and discolorations with a fine matte finish. It did an alright job, but I was too impressed...the coverage was only medium and the texture is rather drying, but then I should not complain too much for the price of 3 EUR.

Makeup for autumn/winter

This is a gorgeous look, I can not wait to try it out!

Manhattan powder rouge in Elegant violet 39N

This was love at first sight - a beautiful, slighly shimmery deep purple colour, reminds me of red wine. It has a pleasant velvety texture and good coverage. The blush comes with a brush, but that one is completely useless. No information available as to the weight of the product, it costs around 3 EUR.

Catrice Prime and Fine smoothing refiner

"Base for an instantly refined, smooth and soft skin appearance. Makes pores and lines invisible."

So much for the promises. It will not make any lines or wrinkles disappear, but it will smoothen out your skin, giving it an incredibly pampered feeling. It costs 4,99 EUR for 14 g, at Kruidvat. I think they were aiming for a battle with L'Oreal's smoothing resurfacing primer (cca 16 EUR for 15 mil).

The product has a light pink colour and the skin soaks it up quickly without a trace - actually much faster than the L'Oreal primer, making it a perfect canvas for the makeup application. It will not stop the shine coming through, though, but I still it is a nice and effective primer.
