Review: Makebelieve Enhance Glow Tinted Moisturiser #TFWOC

Time for part TWO of the Makebelieve and TFWOC reviews. I told you last week that Makebelieve were absolutely angelic and provided 3 products towards the Tans for Women of Colour Tanning Blogger Project that Laalaa and I have put together with these lovely ladies donating their blogspace to posting reviews.

Last week I reviewed Makebelieve’s Self Tan Lotion with Bronzer; which I am still perving over (smell wise), and this week it’s their Glow Tinted Moisturiser, which is part of their Enhance Range. A range that has been developed to support your tan by enhancing it, so you can expect to find bronzers, tinted moisturisers highlighters and even illuminating concealers within it.

Makebelieve Glow Tinted Moisturiser is described as a hydrating and lightly tinted moisturizer that can be used on your face to get a ‘luminescent facial glow’. To be honest, I don’t think this should be described as a moisturizer as I don’t find it to be either hydrating or moisturing I thought that this much too heavy and thick.

Colour-wise (or tint-wise) when applied all over to my face, this product covered my face in shimmer (which was great) but the tint was so strong that I came off looking a bit cakey and scary. So like with everything I get that doesn’t work exactly the way I want it to . . .I experiment!

Here are some of the best ways I feel that you can experiment with the Glow Tinted Moisturiser; especially if the tint doesn't work that well with your skin tone, to get your moneys worth  

Experimentation 1.1

Use Tinted Moisturiser as a Highlighter

This is how I would use the glow tinted moisturizer as it gave a bit of a shimmer to my everyday dewy look

Experimentation 1.2

Use Tinted Moisturiser under Foundation

Overall I do stand with my original point that the Glow Tinted Moisturiser is not the best moisturizer on the market but makes an AWESOME highlighter. The shimmer gold tones are easy to work with, when mixed with something and becomes an added bonus to darker skin tones

Have you tried the Glow Tinted Moisturiser? What way have you used it that I could add to my experimentation methods.

Perfectly Tinted View . . . .

Summer is (finally) here signalling a change of my make-up regime and this year I've decided upgrade my regime and try  something new. Now normally I use a Maybelline's dream matte mousse in the summertime, because its so light and feels quite nice on my skin, unfortunately its not really the right shade for me and often makes me look quite monotone (if I can even use that word in this way), but it is a matte foundation so I guess its doing its job.

Keeping with my foundation theme of light-weight and light-coverage, I have decided to go with a tinted moisturiser this summer, which in my shade (I am Afro-British by the way, NW45) is quite difficult to find in the UK as it still doesn't full cater to its Afro-community in terms of cosmetology,despite this (major hindrance) I am going to do a quick quick quick wishlist of the tinted moisturisers I want to get this summer and I promise to do a review of them, once I get them

1) Elf Tinted Moisturiser in Espresso/Mocha (rrp £3.50)

I have heard mixed reviews about this product, but I can't fully rate this product until I've had the chance to review it myself, and at £3.50, even if I don't like it, I'm not exactly breaking the bank

2) Black-up Complexion Oil Free (rrp £24.50)

I just recently found out about Black up cosmetics, during a random search of the Debenhams' website, so I can't wait to try this product out lool I will probably do a FULL review of this product when (and if) I get this

3) Smash-box Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturiser in Dark (rrp £22.95)

This looks very light on-line so I need to go down to my nearest smash-box counter and see if the colour looks much nicer in person

4) Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser in Shade 6 (I think) (rrp £21)

 I absolutely love Clinique, and this product promises to offer a decent amount of coverage, so lets hope it lives up to its promise

5) Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturiser in Deep Tint (rrp £27)

What can I say about Bobbi Brown, she definitely know something about Make-up but I don't normally buy her products as I find them high priced and as I'm only using this for a few months, I won't purchase this product unless it trumps the previous moisturisers

Kudos
