Hey Guys, Last week I took a trip to House Of Fraser's Dior counter in Plymouth and saw the amazingly talented Sophie. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel so welcome, we talked about some new products, which Sophie later used to create such a gorgeous look. I thought it would be a fun post to see how much the look ended up costing, giving me the title "How much is my face worth?" (You can take a guess on my latest Instagram post) So we are going to take a look at the products used and give you some first impressions along the way. So let's jump straight in. We started off by moisturising the face with their new Capture Youth Moisturiser, this retails for £75 for 50ml of product. I was given a small pot to try and a week later it is still half full. A little really does go a long way, it feels really gentle on my skin. Since using this moisturiser my skin has looked smoothed, toned and has a natural glow. I am a huge fan of this moisturiser, I give it a 8/10 the only downside is the price. Although if your big into skincare I do recommend giving it ago or if your unsure then maybe go and ask for a small sample. We then went onto prime the face using the Forever and ever primer, which retails for £30.50 for 30ml. This primer creates a silky smooth canvas to apply and enhance your make up. This primer felt amazing and definitely helped to preserve the make up throughout the day. I really liked this primer because I personally prefer primers that give you a smoother canvas rather than tacky. I give this top marks 10/10. Next we went onto the eyes where Sophie further primed the eyes with their Diorskin Forever Undercover concealer. Sophie used shade 20 which is a light beige. This concealer is perfect to hide my dark circles and any discolouration on the eyelid and around the eye. I actually have this concealer at home and its definitely in my top 3. It really brightens the under eye and is full coverage. It is such a reasonable price at just £21. For my full review click here. Sophie then went onto create a gorgeous eye look using the High Fidelity Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette in the shade 676 In Flame. This comes in gorgeous shades from a bright coral colour to a darker brown. These eyeshadows are insanely pigmented, have spectacular staying power. It looked perfectly from 2pm until midnight when I removed it. It has a really creamy formula and blends really well. I love the look Sophie created especially the coral which really made my eyes pop. These eyeshadow palettes retail for £47.50 and have lots of different colour stories. They are up there in price but the quality is amazing. I love how compact they are which makes them perfect for traveling with. I give this 8/10 and I can't wait to add some more to my collection. We then carried on with the eye's using Diorshow Pro Liner in black. This again remained looking perfect throughout the day. A perfect matte black liner and really reasonably priced at £20. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a new eyeliner. This gets top marks at 10/10 and I have actually purchased this since reviewing it. We then moved onto the brow area where Sophie created some gorgeously full eyebrows using their Diorshow Brow Styler in shade 003 Auburn. This retails for £20 & I loved how my brows looked so much that I purchased myself the styler to recreate the look. My eyebrows where one of my favourite parts of the look, they where very different to how I do them normally. The styler creates gorgeous natural looking brows. It once again gets full marks! 10/10 We then went onto the face and we used one of Dior's new products! The Diorskin Forever Unercover in shade 025 Soft Beige. This retails for £34 for 30ml. This foundation is medium to full coverage and it made my skin look very natural and matte which I love. It takes a while to set so you can play around and move it without ruining your make up. The foundation looked perfect throughout the day, staying in place and creating a gorgeous veil over the face which looked like a second skin. I like this foundation and I may purchase this in the future. I give it a 8/10 just because I do love a full coverage foundation and this doesn't quite give me that, especially under the eyes. We did of course go in with the concealer again to try and cover any imperfections that where coming through the foundation and also to help carve out the brows a little more. After this we went onto warm the face up and bronze using Diorskin Nude Air Glow in shade 003 retailing for £36.50, this gave such a gorgeous bronzed look to the face, creating more definition and lasting all day! I highly recommend this powder as it really did stay in place all day. Top marks once again 10/10. We continued on the face by using a blusher to add a little colour to the checks. using Diorblush in shade Coral Crush 676 this retails for £33.50 and although it looks a very vibrant colour, you only need a small amount to create that gorgeous flash of colour. It is very pigmented and again lasted all day. They really have some gorgeous shades in their blusher range and are well worth checking out! 9/10 Next we went onto my favourite part of applying make up, the highlighter! I absolutely love a blinding highlighter and Dior's Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer does not disappoint! This retails for £42 but does come with a kabuki brush and gorgeous pouch. I previously purchased the shade 002 and it looks beautiful! The highlight is buildable from a natural glow to a really blinding highlight. It looked just as beautiful at the end of the day as it did when applied. I highly recommend this, especially if you love highlighters. I give this a 8/10 just because of its high price point. Last up was the lips! Before we put the lipstick on we lined the lips with Dior Contour Lip Liner this retails for £21. We decided to go for a nude lipstick as I had such a bold eye. I was so excited as we got to use Dior's new Addict Lacquer Plump. This retails for £28.50 which I think it's a reasonable price for such a good product. We used shade 426 "Lovely D" which was a gorgeous mauve nude. It really went well with the look Sophie created. The lacquer was really comfortable to wear, it isn't sticky & doesn't create a weird film on the lips. It has a gorgeous shine that really catches the light. I don't think that it is long lasting unfornately but it really is a gorgeous colour! Because it didn't last very long I do feel like it looses a few points therefore I give it a 6/10. There we have it, a full look by an amazingly talented Make up artist. I had such fun going through all the new products, it was a fun experience and Sophie made it so enjoyable, she's so full of knowledge and makes it so easy to ask questions and talk to. It really was a fun experience and I cant wait to see all of your guesses at how much my face is worth? Here is the finished look! We have a fun announcement for you guys at the start of May, so make sure you keep a eye out for that! I really hope you've enjoyed a little insight to getting your make up done at a counter and my review on some of the new Dior products. I will reveal " How much my face was worth" in my next post! Until Next Time,
