A super easy daytime makeup with dewy skin, glowy eyes and a pop of colour on the lips. Using both drugstore and high end makeup – a lot of new releases that I’m loving 🙂 My Aussies can pair this look with a vampy lip for Autumn.
FYI, I’ve changed my Instagram handle to @karimamckimmie. I post a lot of exclusive content there – new products that have arrived, events I’ve attended etc so check it out here!

I love your eye look sooo pretty. The lipstick not so sure it would work for me a little too bright. Also, the foundation looks gorgeous.
You can always blot a bright shade down to mute it 🙂

Hi Karima! Thank you for always having the most informational reviews! They truly help a girl make a better decision. I was wondering how you think the finish of this foundation compares to MAC’s face and body as they’re both sheer and glossy. Also, you have mentioned in your MAC face and body post, say, 3 years ago (I’ve been a long time follower…) that F&B expires quickly. Would you mind offering any tips on how one can tell if one’s F&B is bad
Love you! xoxo
I think the Charlotte Tilbury is a teeny bit more smoothing on texture. How long a foundation lasts totally depends on where you store it etc etc.

Hey Karima, how would you say the Fairydrops mascara compares to Maybelline Full + Soft or Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes in terms of effect/application? I love the look of the latter two but found them to be smudge city on me — I’ve found that most mascaras that are budgeproof are also too spiky/dramatic for my taste so I’m on the hunt for a fluffy formula that stays put.
Hey Sophie,
It’s more dramatic and not quite as feathery as the mascaras you mentioned.

Thanks Karima! Guess the hunt will continue. I really appreciate your responses to all comments/questions 🙂 I picked up the Surratt Brow Pomade based on your experiences as well and I’m really enjoying it. My stubborn brows are finally staying put! x
Urban Decay I the UK doesn’t seem to stock Interstellar in the Moondust Eyeshadows. Can you recommend another similar eyeshadow for that pop of shimmer on top of another eyeshadow?
Any golden glitter will give a similar effect, just use sparingly 🙂

Hi Karima! I am so impressive the way you baked your under eye, it’s so natural but so effective! I have the same “problem” so a beg you please do a video about this or give me an advice about a good product, I live in London and can not find rouge bunny rouge and the laura mercier translucent powder is soooo expensive! Please help me 🙂
