Anyone who lives in the UK will know that recently Boots has expanded a lot of their premium beauty ranges and now they do a lot of American brands that for ages were really hard to get your hands on. For years I’ve seen a lot of you tubers featuring Milani in makeup tutorials but because you couldn’t find this brand in many shops I didn’t want to order anything online in case I got the wrong colour match. But lucky for me Boots now sell the full range of Milani and have a stand in their Oxford Street branch !!!!!!!! When I saw the stand next to the NYX range I freaked out a little and decided it was time to finally try out their foundation and concealer and see if it’s worth the hype.
With this brand I’m really happy I saw it in shop because the shade colour that matched me perefectly weren’t what I expected my colour match to be and me being pale means I really do need to try out the shade samples first. So let’s chat the foundation ‘Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation’ this foundation is described as “Perfect for your under eye circles, redness and other skin imperfections with our water-resistant, foundation + concealer in one flawless”. This foundation is a lightweight medium to full coverage foundation that is oil free and has long lasting abilities. I picked up the shade 0A3 Warm Porcelain which when I was looking online I thought that would be too dark for me but in reality it was the perfect match. This foundation really surprised me with the coverage because like the package said I was expecting a medium coverage but I would say that full coverage 100%. The foundation is oil free which left me with a gorgeous matte finish and when I first wore the product I used a mattifying moose moisteriser to see how it worked and lasted all day without creasing stayed mattifyied.
I also picked up the ‘Milani Conceal + Perfect Long Wear Concealer’ in the shade Nude Ivory. The concealer is described as a “Creamy, full coverage, water-resistant makeup that instantly conceals and lasts up to 12 hours. Perfect for concealing under-eye circles, blemishes and skin discoloration.”. It also contains Vitamin E to help replenish skin’s moisture. This concealer is one of the most full coverage concealers I’ve used in quiet a while and it blends like a dream with the foundation. What I like most about this product is a little goes a long way and the brush really picks up a lot of product so one go at the concealer really leaves enough product for both under eyes and covering blemishes on the skin.
So far I’m really like using Milani products they are surpringly really lightweight yet full coverage products and what makes the products so different to others I’ve used is that it doesn’t include any oils so it helps make the formula much more Longwearing instead of sliding off after a few hours. I’m really excited I finally got to try out this brand and it’s definitely worth the hype!!!!!
Now just to tell you how long lasting this product is I was so tired the other night coming home from work I actually fell asleep wearing my makeup which included both these products and when I woke up the next morning my face was perfect, the product didn’t slide out of place and still had coverage under my eyes. Now I don’t recommend ever sleeping with your makeup on and I normally don’t do this but ironically it was a great way to test out the foundations lasting abilities.
If you live in the UK and are as excited about Milani being available then head to the nearest Boots to try out the collection !!!!!!!
