Easy as 1, 2, 3; trying the Huda Beauty 3-step Easy routine...

For the most blurred complexion, follow the 1, 2, 3 EASY ROUTINE!

Step 1: Prime with the Easy Blur Primer. Huda recommends using two fingers length worth of product.

Step 2: Apply Easy Blur Foundation and blend & buff into the skin.

Step 3: Set with the Easy Bake Loose Setting & Baking Powder for the ultimate airbrushed finish.

 

The primer is water-based and the matching foundation is oil-based, so it just floats over pores and fine lines as oil and water don't mix. Setting the foundation with powder is a Important step due to combining oil & water.

I got everything a fortnight ago and have been wearing them every day; I have very skin and was very sceptical about a routine involving a matte primer & non-skippable setting powder working for me, but I have large pores that are looking worse because of medication, so I went and bought the 3 products anyway the last time I went to the Trafford Centre...

I wanted to try something slightly different for me as we enter a new season because I feel as though my general makeup look has become very samey since I now go for simaliar shades/tones in everything, so I decided to give a purple toned blush a try to be different but not too different... 

I've heard nothing but good things about the NYX Buttermelt blushes and saw that they have a pinky purple tone in the line-up, so my search for the perfect blush to get was very short.

I hadn't known that a new Far Away flanker was coming until I saw it being advertised in a catalogue, with it only being announced on various fragrance websites afterwards. 

Anyway; I ordered it as soon as I saw it being advertised since there hasn't been a single Far Away flanker that I've outright disliked, so it seemed like a sure thing that I'd enjoy this one too. I've now had it for a couple of weeks and have been wearing it every day for that  time, so I now will ready to share my thoughts on it.
