Hi there and welcome to {makeupfu}! I started this blog as a beauty resource for the frugalista vegan.
All products reviewed and mentioned are vegan, except where noted.
When not blogging about makeup, I'm busy cooking, taking care of my two boys and husband, coding on teh Interwebs, working on fractal art and crocheting/knitting.
Is there a vegan product you would like to see reviewed? Send me a message to let me know.
Thanks for stopping by!

HI, i see u have used EDM lucent face powder. Can u comment on or make a swatch of the lucent face powder u use? I am using sunlight finishing dust which is great for brighten up my skintone. i am now interesed to know if sparkle beige or pearl beige can do the same brightening but with a glowing effect too? or wil it be too shimmery for using all over the face. thx
Hello! Usually, I only use Sparkle Beige and Pearl Beige as eyeshadow since I don’t like shimmer everywhere, but I decided to apply them all over my face after reading your question. Overall there isn’t that much difference between the two and I don’t think either do much to brighten the skin.
I used both products on skin primed only with moisturized, no base. Sparkle Beige is more sparkly/shimmery, as the name suggests, with visible mica flakes. Personally, I find it too sparkly for me. Pearl Beige covers a bit more (probably because it was originally sold as a concealer, not Lucent Face Powder) and produces a sort of dewy look, but I noticed that too much product can easily make the skin appear metallic or, worse, kind of oily. I find the product more tolerable than Sparkle beige, but I wouldn’t wear it on a daily basis.
I prefer Dusty Miller or Viki’s Radiant Creation because both give the skin a subtle glow for a nice flushed look. Natural or Light Pink could work, too. If you want to stick with a product that brightens like the Sunlight Finishing Dust, either Sunlight Color Corrector or Pearl Sunlight might be what you’re looking for. I haven’t tried Pearl Sunlight since I’ve read other reviews that say it’s too shimmery, but I think it’s supposed to be a mix of Pearl Beige and Sunlight Color Corrector. I use the Sunlight Color Corrector all the time and really like the effect it has on my skin.
I hope that answers your question. (^=^)
