Look at what came in the mail!
These sample jars are from FACE atelier, a Canadian-based company. They believe in sophisticated, versatile makeup that simply works. And works simply. Many celebrities are fans of this brand including Fergie and Lady Gaga!
Ultra Foundation
My normal shade is in between #1 Porcelain and #2 Ivory. #2 Ivory is more beige and the slightest bit more tanned compared to #1 Porcelain. I can go with either one since their shades are extremely close, but for this FOTD I decided to go with #1 Porcelain.
It melts into my skin and feels really lightweight on. I can take my own sweet time to blend it out, it won’t look streaky or patchy at all as some foundations are wont to do (Maybelline Angelfit I’m talking about you!).
The coverage is medium, it evens out discolouration and also conceals part of my scars. I still need to use concealers but I can forgo them if I want. It doesn’t hold up against oil, I had to blot twice but other than that, I'm loving it especially the dewy finish ♥♥
I’m utterly charmed by this foundation, and I have only used it for a week! This calls for a full sized bottle!! Is there an IMATS taking place soon?
Ultra Blush
The compact contains a mirror – it feels pretty durable and sturdy.
There’s a lot of hype on matte blushes and I never quite understood why as I’m a fan of shimmers in my blushes. Well, I’m a convert after using Pink Satin on my cheeks! Matte blushes are so easy to wear plus they suit every skin type - shimmery ones tend to maximize facial shine.
Pink Satin is silky smooth and soft to the touch. It has fairly good pigmentation, but it is rather light. I don’t see it working for darker skinned babes but it will certainly flatter those with more porcelain complexions.
All in all, I absolutely love the pastel pink colour! It gives me the perfect natural flush ♥ The amazing non chalky texture and colour payoff is drawing me towards the other shades!
Lip Glaze
Peach, an orange with flecks of gold shimmer, has sheer-medium pigmentation. It has a nice high shine effect, non sticky consistency and it feels comfortable on! It is also quite moisturizing.
For those of you who dislike fragrance and flavouring, you’ll be relieved to hear that it is both fragrance and flavour-free.

Yes, we need to catch up! I was wondering where have you been, haha..
the lip glaze looks lush :D the tiny jars are sooo cute!
Perfect entry as always, I love your swatching technique and of course you're beautiful!
In the first picture you're looking at me like I disappointed you, so I was glad to see you smiling in the last one. ;P
I've never seen the word "atelier" before, so this was an educational post for me.
I do prefer to work alone.
oh blair I love your look on this.....so fresh & natural.....I so have to look forward to this brand....Thanks for the review...
Ooh I really liked the Face Atelier foundation too! The dewy finish is nice and it was a lot lighter than I thought -- I'd gone into a retailer to try it out but all their testers were old and gunky so I was prepared to be disappointed lol
You look gorgeous in your FOTD! What eyelashes are you wearing?
I guess I look heard of this brand because it's Canadian but thanks for the reviews. The blush looks super pretty and pink, love that it's matte too. Pretty FOTD, the blush makes you look like a total doll. :)
P.S.
Amy also sent me some of the Crystal Collagen Eye Masks so I'm even more excited to try them since you think they're good. ^^
hey!
im loving the color of ur blush and lip glaze!
that foundation sounds great... too bad oil control isnt great.
as for my camera... the pictures of skating are actually taken with my point and shoot.. canon powershot sd750... its pretty old :)
but the lasanga and light art pictures are taken with my new camera... canon rebel xs :)
thanks for dropping by my blog! :)
I feel ashamed to call myself a Canadian since I've never heard of this brand!!
Wow everything makes your skin look so glowy and nice! And a dewy finish?..I need to try this in the future :P
Awww~~ You are so pretty! This foundation really gives the skin a very nice glow!
Yikes, I'm Canadian too and I've never heard of this brand! It sounds pretty good though and I loove your FOTD - it really looks like you're wearing nothing at all.

you look so great in your FOTD ! Your skin looks so healthy and it's glowing babe ^^ I like the blush too !
Pretty! *^_^*
the blush is gorgeous on you... it gives you such a sweet glow!
I've never heard of this brand before -- it looks great with your skin ! And i'm loving your Dollywink eyelashes. I could never figure out how to wear falsies myself ;-x Tips ? Hints ?
Thank YOU so much for following and commenting as well :3
Well I guess for 6 bucks it's not a loss if you don't like it or use it as a backup, it's definitely worth its money. Or you can even use it instead of your actual more expensive primer (I'm sure you're using an expensive primer, everyone does, even me).
Thanks for visiting QueenofMayhem! Yes, you can use apples! In fact, you can really use and nice combination of fruit that you can think of. :) I really like the pink blush on you! I don't have the courage to do pink though. I always stay with nudes and beige.
i've never heard of this brand before. but from what i can tell, they're decent. hope to see them in store one day.
OMG!!!!!!! Those look soo awesome! It makes me want to try it! Is it expensive?

Hello lam.linn!
I won't recommend the foundation, you might get excessively shiny. As for the blush, it'll definitely suit you since it's matte and all. HTH =]
i have oil skin i can use this ???
