Reader Review: O-Glow or O-No?

smashbox-o-glow.jpg

Thanks to Candy from Dallas, TX for the review.

Title of your review: Smashbox O-Glow

Tell us about it!: After running out of my beloved Prescriptives Pressed
Powder Leaves in Rose I decided to move off my usual beaten path to
Smashbox. I had heard the buzz surrounding O-Glow, which promises to create
a shade of blush based on your own bodies chemistry as soon as it hits your
face. Here in lies the problem.

After consulting the sales girl, I took my purchase home and excitedly
opened my product. Yet here I wonder: Foundation first, then O-Glow or
O-Glow then Foundation? If I applied O-Glow first my foundation would all
but wash it out (and I wear very sheer foundation), and if applied over the
foundation it seemed rather muddy or false looking.

I also discovered that its very difficult to get even coverage on both
sides. I always felt like one side was more pink than the other, or more
intense.

At the end of the day, it was just too complicated for a step that normally
took me seconds as I run out the door. O-Glow for me was an O-No.

$26.00 Smashbox O-Glow

I can agree with Candy on this I was also puzzled at what point to apply O-Glow and I found the color faded really fast. My favorite cheek color lately has been Tarte’s cheek stain. It is super easy to apply and leaves you with the perfect flushed look.

Reader Review: Are you impossible to foundation match??

Thanks to Candy from Dallas, TX

Tell us about it!: Girls: Are you one of us whose skin isn’t one of the
stock colors found at all major drug stores and most department counters?
Fear not, Prescriptives has your color matching answer.
Take a visit to your local counter and have the girls color match you. They
use colored ‘pencils’ to mark on your face pulling out the undertones of
your skin.

After spending years appearing like a yellow lemon head when wearing
foundation, my consultant gave me the key to my color blunders: I’m a
blue/red. Unlike the majority of skin, mine holds no yellow or orange, thus
any foundation (which is 99%) that contains yellow or orange will make my
skin appear discolored and fake…. Lemonhead!

I’ve been using their foundation now for a year and a half, and their
concealer for a year. Girls, for those who have had the color struggle, you
will appreciate the confidence that comes with wearing your correct shade.
All women are different, why shouldn’t our foundations be too?!
