Natural Looking skin & Stila


Today i thought I'd try out a few of my Stila Bargain buys that i brought from TK Max which i recently posted about. I'm really pleased with the results. I think this look is perfect for everyday and i don't think i look particularly made up but my skin looks nice and healthy without tonnes of product which is a nice change.

So on my skin i have stila illuminating tinted moisturiser with Laura Mercier concealer under the eyes.
 Mac Skin finish powder and a dusting of Mac Soft & Gentle on the cheek bones.

 I've tried out my new Stila Pencil on the inner eyes and just above the cupids bow on my lips. It really is a great pencil, so soft and creamy and it opens up my eyes without it being too obvious which sometimes can happen if i use white.

My favourite so far out of my purchases though is the shadow on the right Shade Sparkle. I wore it today and it's such a pretty colour and blends like a dream.

Sparkle Shadow with winged liner and  Eyeliner in Topaz

    You look lovely! And yes, it is a super natural look. I LOVE the Stila Topaz eyeliner. Would like to try out their tinted moisturiser, better head down to TK MAXX! xx

    I love Stila, this looks great, love the winged eye a look I forever yearn but it always ends up in frustration. Thanks for this. Jan. BTW cheapsmells often has cheap Stila and BeautyBay.

    Thanks girls.
    Kerrymarie, i haven't really been using anything inparticular for acne scarring. I use a lot of different products as i'm always testing different things out but i use Liz earle dailt essentials which has made a hige difference in controlling my outbreaks xx

    That looks gorgeous :) I've replaced my white eye pencil with this Stila one and I wonder how I've lived without it :) I was a bit unsure about trying the Stila tinted moisturiser (I think I got the same kit as you!) but now I definitely will :) x

    thanks nicoletta :) I'm planning a trip to the MAC counter next week and want to get this MSFN powder and some MSF 'Soft & Gentle'. I bought these 2 powders a couple of years ago and you've reminded me how much I miss using them, so it's a huge thank you from me & a not-so-huge thank you from my bank balance! ;) x

    Very pretty look. I was tempted by Stila at TK Maxx but wasn't sure what I was buying... might take a look again when I get paid!
