Lush Colour Supplement - Jackie Oats

So on to my second review! I thought it might be best to start from the base upwards with the products I already own, so today's review is my foundation :D I've had this foundation for a few, never having used one before, but I already like it.

I've been a bit scared of using foundations in the past. I'm so ridiculously pale with my Irish skin that I thought if I ever wanted to wear foundation I was destined to look orange. And why bother anyway? My skin isn't exactly bad... Until the day I saw someone somewhere on the internet recommend this colour, Jackie Oats, to someone else with super pale skin; and it was only £8 so why not try it? Turns out the jar is tiny but nevermind :) A little goes quite far.

And I have to say, I am quite impressed. It doesn't have great coverage, so if you're looking to cover up acne scars or whathaveyou this probably wont be for you. However I have quite good skin, so was looking more for a product which evens my skin tone without being too heavy or obvious. This certainly does this. It does suggest mixing it with a moisturiser to turn it into more of a tinted moisturiser, but I found I really could not see a difference to my skin when applied like this, and it didn't really sink in/dry, which was annoying. So I now put on my moisturiser first (or my spf 50 face sun cream like I am doing now it's sunny outside), and then apply the colour supplement.

It goes on quite nicely, like a cream, really. I can't comment too much on the application, though, as I don't have a decent brush - mine leaves the foundation streaky, so I have to go over it with my fingers to even it out. It is buildable, so if you do want to put more on for more coverage you can. I have avoided doing this so far, due to my anxiety with not wanting to look too orange! It's a little shiny when you first apply it, but this soon dries after a few minutes.

I personally can't really see much of a difference from before I was using foundation, but my SO certainly has noticed my skin looking nicer, so it must be making somewhat of a difference, and the pictures certainly show a difference! My SO actually said I look more airbrushed haha :D However I think I still need an extra green base to get rid of further redness in my cheeks - I'm far too nervous about putting blusher on at the moment as my cheeks are already so red!

Overall, a decent product if you're not looking for a heavy coverage. I would certainly buy it again as it matches my paleness, which is something I haven't been able to get from any other foundation.

Now onto the pictures!

  Yeah... It really is that small...

One thing I really like about Lush products is how they all have these stickers on them saying who made/packaged your item. Such a nice touch.

 It looks so light, even in the jar!

 This is generally the amount I need to use...

How it appears on the back of my hand...

Comparison! My freshly moisturised, shiny, and surprisingly red face, next to my face with the colour supplement on. And there is actually quite a difference! And my face matches! Woo!

Taken outside to show it in natural sunlight. Looks pretty good to me! Apart from the eye wrinkles... damn sun...
