Nude by Nature Cosmetics

Hey, its themakeupqueen here,

Today I'd like to start by reviewing the first makeup brand I ever used as a teenager: Nude by Nature.


PROS:
Nude by Nature is one of the best Australian mineral makeup brands on the market. They have a wide range of products, including: eyes, lips, cheeks, skin care and the new beautiful body range. By using only natural ingredients in thier products, Nude by Nature has the upper hand on makeup brands which can be damaging to your skin. If you have sensitive skin, then by all means try Nude by Nature out.
No more breakouts, no more heavy, gunky feelings on your skin.

CONS:
On the other hand, Nude by Nature doesn't have a wide range of colours in thier foundation range. Light, light-medium, medium, medium-dark and dark are all you have to choose from. It's great if your colour is exactly one of these; however, I believe that Nude by Nature could drastically improve their makeup brand by adding a wider range of colours!

Now on to their products...

Undercover airbrush primer:
PROS:
Primer is the first thing that starts off your makeup routine. So why settle for something that isn't top notch? Nude by Nature offers a primer which smooths out the skin and lasts a very long time because you only need a small amount.

CONS:
I don't really think this product is worth the $30 that it sells for. It has an unusual smell and I've heard that it causes some people's faces to go red immediately after applying; however the redness does settle down. This could have just been one person's allergy to something in the product though. I recommend trying this product out before purchasing and if you can get pass the smell, then by all means give it a try! I personally could take it or leave it.

Flawless Liquid Velvet, Liquid Mineral Foundation
PROS:
We all know that after primer comes foundation! No one wants a caky foundation, which is why I'm sure many of you prefer using a liquid one. Nude by Nature's liquid mineral foundation is a pretty good light foundation, if you want that sort of thing. It would be great for everyday use and is very easy to apply with fingers, sponge or even a makeup brush. The foundation also lasts a long time!

CONS:
With every foundation comes cons! I haven't yet found a perfect foundation! This Liquid Mineral Foundation is a whopping $40! For a light foundation that is almost a tinted moisturiser, this can seem very expensive! This foundation also only comes in five shades, which is very limited! Nude by Nature would be wise in creating a wider range of shades so that more customers are catered for. This liquid foundation doesn't cover up much on my face and sometimes looks caky without the finishing veil!

Mineral Finishing Veil
PROS:
This finishing veil evens out the liquid mineral foundation. It lasts a very long time and is transparent so one product fits all! This is probably my favourite product out of their range because it makes my foundation not look caky and gives me an ulluminating glow. I use the kabuki brush which comes in their brush range to give an even more flawless look!

CONS:
What can I say that is not so good about this product? Well not much, apart from the fact that it is very messy to open the container it comes in.

Virgin blush
PROS:
well this blush lasts a very long time and is a natural pinky colour.

CONS:
Because the foundation is such light coverage, I don't feel the need to apply this blush because the redness from my cheeks is already shinning through the foundation!

Get the Nude Look 8 Brush Kit
PROS:
8 brushes for $30, BARGIN! These were the first brushes I ever used and I must say, they were perfect for me when I was only a beginner! The whole kit comes with a Kabuki Base Brush, Blush Brush, Eye Shadow Brush, Domed Eye Blending Brush, Ultimate Cover Concealer Brush, Dual Headed Precision Eye Definer and Lip Brush and Pencil Sharpener. The brushes are great quality for the price paid for them and they never loose hairs! So easy to clean aswell!

CONS:
This is probably Nude by Nature's only product which I absolutely can't find any thing wrong with. Good on ya Nude!!


That's all the products I'm going to review for now!!
Feel free to comment on the products that you love/hate by Nude by Nature and their other products that you'd like me to review!
