Makeup Forever Wild and Chic set


Hello all, I am very happy to re-introduce Makeup Forever back into my make up box. I made a trip to Estination at Roppoingi Hills this weekend because I found out that MUFE was in Tokyo (albeit at twice the price anywhere else) I was about to leave empty-handed until I saw Wild & Chic Aqua cream and Aqua Liner set (Purple Minaudiere) sitting on a lower tier shelf. I know this was released in late 2011, but I only found out it was possible to get it in Tokyo a few weeks ago and its pretty much what I needed in terms of colors. Aqua Cream 01 – Greyish TaupeAqua Cream 15 – Copper Brown – can go a little red but you can overlay with different colors if you don’t like it (a light colored shadow over the inner half of your lids looks really nice with this underneath)


Very soft (not like mousse though) and shimmer is very fine, finishes with a nice metallic sheen. Aqua Liner 0l – Matte Black, very creamyAqua Linder 2L – Metallic Brown, very creamyOh so creamy and soft, after 4 days using, I have to re-sharpen the black soon (I use it for upper waterline, so never even rimming the entire eye!).  On the up side it doesn’t move and can easily be blending for a short time after application. 


Given these particular colors, I would recommend the set for peeps that are comfortable with eye makeup.  You want to be able to work with the product, it might get a bit fiddly if you have to keep building or you put on too much and then its all down hill then.  Alternatively, if you want to experiment, these cream colors will give you the crash course, after which, you can handle every cream shadow out there! 
For you if:·           You want a cream shadow that acts as your base and contour (honestly has halved my morning routine)
·           Want something that acts as primer and shadow in one (Aqua creams don’t budge after it has dried)
 Not for you if:·           You don’t own any blending brushes, the color is strong so you have to soften the edges etc., otherwise the shape is all wrong
·           Want a delicate or soft overall make up look.  When the packet says “Wild” they are not kidding
·           You want something versatile.  Let’s be frank, with these colors if you put it on too lightly it will make you look like you’ve been punched and if you put it on too heavily, Hellooo, fabulous!  Thank you for reading!Liddy
