Huda Beauty Blur Bake Snatch Look

 

I am a fan of Huda Kattan and I am one of those who got excited when she launched her make up line!

"I NEED to get this!"  Need is an understatement but you all know that by now!  I got myself her eyeshadow palettes and did a Love Month Look with it exactly 2 years ago and even did a Sand Haze Look (name of her palette) inspired look as I love the shades of her eyeshadow palette.

Early this year, I was invited to HudaBeauty Blur, Bake and Snatch event at Look at Me SM Aura and I had to free up my schedule to be there.

Let us start my review with the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Luminous Matte Foundation in shade Apple Pie.  Disclaimer, Apple Pie foundation was given to me during the event and this isn't my exact shade when I did a swatch with their in-house makeup artist.  Thankfully, the shade is "workable" and it actually worked much better to create a snatched look.

Huda Beauty Says ---

#FauxFilter is back with the same full coverage and long-lasting properties, you know and love from the OG formula, but with 24-hour flexible wear, a luminous matte finish AND… it’s fragrance-free!

The true filter effect gives instant coverage so seamless that it immediately unifies skin tone and texture as it blurs skin to give a radiant finish. The non-cakey formula is life proof (waterproof, super long wea (24hr), transfer proof, fade proof, sweat proof, humidity proof.) No matter what the weather, occasion or situation, #FauxFilter Luminous Matte will NEVER let you down.

I kid you not when I say this is the best FULL Face Foundation I have tried since pandemic hits!  When I am looking for a full-coverage, camera-ready foundation, I always reach out to Make Up For Ever's HD Foundation.

You don't believe me when I say this is the best?  Check out this UNFILTERED half-face photo of me using nothing but Huda beauty's Foundation half of my face (Left facing you).  Mind you, it only took me a single pump!

Closer photo.  My friend even DM'd me after seeing this photo thinking I had a huge black eye on my other eye.  I mean they seriously didn't think I even had foundation on!  It looked so natural on photos but let me tell you how it looks in person.

Apple Pie is not my shade so it is actually a bit darker in person.  Thankfully, the Concealer that came with the press kit is too light on me so it worked so well as a highlight/contour product.

Purple Stare Look

 

I haven’t been playing eye makeup for YEARS!

Ever since I grew …ahem..older, as you can see, I have stopped myself from using colors just because….I got lazier, and I felt that the pandemic made it harder for me to enjoy colorful make up.

I have been loving the color Purple because of BTS!  So I’ve decided to make this an Ode to me being an ARMY! 

Check out the make up products and brands I’ve used.

Sand Haze Look

 

I got this Huda Beauty Sand Haze Palette from Sephora PH.  I used to watch Huda Beauty on Youtube when I still have enough time but stopped for years since turning into a mom!  That does not mean I am not updated with the industry though!  I may not watch as many Youtube Videos as before but I still do duly research for updates on makeup trends and brands.

Huda Beauty, based from my research, rose to fame several years back.  Their makeup and skincare line got raves and rants but I made sure to keep in mind their bestselling products.  One of their bestsellers are their eyeshadows and I want to know why.

A basic and easy-to-use palette called Sand Haze is the way to go if you like a neutral and/or party looks in one.

There are 3 types of palette to choose from: Sand, Purple and Khaki.

According to Huda Beauty —-

This palette comes in 3 different colour stories. Each palette represents the off-duty chic street style scene, that is awash with muted tones of ecru, and cappuccino, tempered with darker, more serious colours like deep brown, khaki green, plus dashes of soft, sophisticated shimmer. Each palette contains beautifully buttery mattes, metallics, and shimmery eyeshadow toppers, in complementary shades of eyeshadow, designed to be used individually or together to create an array of arresting effects. The matte formula is pigmented, creamy to the touch, and seamlessly blends on the lid. The metallics have a creamy, richly pigmented, multi reflective, foil texture. For a subtle shimmer finish, apply with dense, flat eyeshadow brushes. For higher foil-like payoff, these work best with a damp eyeshadow brush/sponge brush or finger. The shimmer toppers, slightly sheerer than the metallics, were baked using a mix of finely milled pearls, to highlight and give an alluring pearlescent glow to the lids. For a subtle shimmer finish, apply with a dense, flat eyeshadow brush. For higher payoff, these work best with a damp eyeshadow brush/sponge brush or finger. The palettes come in a hard shell for extra durability and have a full-size mirror inside for on-the-go ease.

Here’s what I have to say after using this palette for months, without eyeshadow base, without ANYTHING BUT the Huda Beauty Palette.

Love Month Look

 

Hi AMW Friends!

I’ve said it so many times, February is my favorite month for so many reason!  

There’s Valentine’s Day, Lunar New Year (mostly celebrated in this month), My Birth Month, Ash Wednesday usually falls on this month and cooler weather of course.  If not because of COVID-19, we are probably going to Tagaytay every weekend for that blast of cool and fresh air!  How I wish the pandemic will be all behind us soon!

So back to my small world here at home, I have been staying in my office / “Beauty Room” more often.  Playing with new and old makeup can lighten up my mood anytime of the day.

I recently got all these goodies from Sephora , I got super excited and tried the Huda Beauty Naughty Nude Palette immediately together with the Nudestix x Pony collection.

Here’s the final look!  Very pink right?
