Gorgeous sheen, natural glow

I've been a big fan of By Terry products for a long time - they're addicting. I was looking forward to the new Blush Glace shade, Ice Dream. I have two other shades in this line, and I think when used with a small stippling brush, they create the most luminous, glowy, gorgeous sheen on the cheeks. Another thing I love about them is that they somewhat "set" but never lose the sheen. You still look glowy throughout the day, but you don't feel sticky (like many other cream blushes do).

This color in particular is incredibly unique. On my fair skin, it reads as a beautiful peachy golden blush. On others, it could be used as a bronzer or highlight, depending on the depth of their skin tone. I've also used it on the eyelids for a dewy look or on my collarbones to catch the light. It really is a great multitasker with the same phenomenal formula as the other blush glaces from By Terry.

I recommend this to anyone who loves rose gold, peachy shades and luminosity on the cheeks.

Best powder I've ever used!

Skin type: Very sensitive, Combo-Dry

I'm someone that uses powder every day to set my makeup (whether it's just sunscreen and a little concealer or a full face of makeup). I just think taking away the shine in the t-zone pulls everything together and makes the look last longer. However, I'd been increasingly frustrated with how most powders look SO powdery on the skin in direct daylight. I also was having a hard time finding a powder that didn't totally disrupt and darken the color of my skin/makeup or irritate my skin.

This powder from Charlotte Tilbury is phenomenal. I'm on my 3rd one, which is a huge statement from someone who used to buy a different powder every time I needed a new one. It adds a little "something" without adding too much pigment, looks so natural and smooth on the skin in any lighting, and it has never irritated my extremely sensitive skin. I think of it as a veil for setting any look - and I love that she created three different shades to cater to a variety of skin tones. I think it's absurd that so many companies just have a "universal" setting powder - it either tends to be too dark or too light depending on who tries it. This is a perfect solution - three sheer shades to work for many skin tones.

I recommend this powder to anyone who wants to set their makeup, add a little pigment, touch up shine throughout the day, or set under eye concealer. It is my "does-it-all" powder!
