Hello Lovelies,

Oh Emma has been MIA and I can say is a big I'm sorry. My work has just been super busy and then with planning our engagement party I have been having the time of my life lately. Of course one thing I will never stop doing is loving and trying new makeup.

Youngblood Cosmetics are not new to me at all, I was there when they first hit Ireland a couple of years ago, it was actually one of the first events I ever attended in my Mastering Your Makeup life. So for today we are taking a look at three products I have been trying and wearing all at once on my face. 

First up is the Youngblood Ultimate Concealer (RRP€27.00) The exceptional concealer delivers a beautiful, natural sheer coverage that feels exceptionally comfortable on your skin. Which is why it has been used by some of the top makeup pros to create the ultimate flawless complexion.

Dark circles under the eyes can make the most beautiful eyes appear dull and tired, Youngblood Ultimate Concealer works hard to hide dark circles. Avoid discoloration and blemishes with this light reflecting formula. Its highly emollient formula won’t crease into lines, while vitamins soothe and brighten the delicate eye area.

With skin calming ingredients including jojoba seed oil and honeysuckle, Youngblood’s Ultimate Concealer formula is also paraben free, and so is suitable for even the most sensitive skin, prone to acne, rosacea or psoriasis. This must have concealer contains everything you need for flawless skin with shades ranging from fair, medium, medium tan, tan and deep.





Next up is the Youngblood Natural Loose Mineral Foundation (€37 RRP) is an ultra-fine, luxurious mineral powder that works as a foundation, concealer + powder.  It delivers a beautiful, natural looking foundation with sheer coverage that feels exceptionally comfortable on your skin which is why it’s used by some of the top makeup pros to create the ultimate flawless complexion.

It gives smooth application, buildable coverage and a soft radiant matte finish – without any glitter or shimmer. It is suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin as it won't clog pores or cause blemishes. The foundation is available is 16 different shades.


Dry skin can now be a thing of the past with YOUNGBLOOD’s Liquid Mineral Deep Sea Hydrating Complex (RRP €37) . While some foundations can exaggerate dry, rough patches, this moisturising foundation contains hydra-smoothing concentrate, so dry areas become incredibly smooth with a perfect dewy finish.

This genius deep sea hydrating formula is produced with a special blend of rare reduced salt seep sea water, botanicals and more than 20 ocean minerals, (including iron, potassium, magnesium and copper), which revitalises skin and creates a silky, pore-free appearance that will last for hours. The powerful formula is free from talc, perfumes and chemical dyes and is enriched with herbal extracts cucumber, cactus and green tea, known for their soothing and anti-aging properties.

Perfect for normal to dry skin, YOUNGBLOOD’s Liquid Mineral Deep Sea Hydrating Complex is the perfect liquid mineral foundation for skin that needs a "boost" of hydration to achieve a healthy-looking glow. Available in nine hydrating shades, YOUNGBLOD’s Liquid Mineral Foundation Deep Sea Hydrating Complex can be used alone for a boost of tinted hydration and dewy finish, or can be applied under YOUNGBLOOD’s Loose Mineral Foundation for a flawless finish.

So if you have been following me for a while you'll know that I don't struggle with dry skin at all,if anything oil is the complete enemy of my life. So what I decided to do was to layer these products, firstly I applied a thin layer of the liquid foundation onto my skin. I have worn this on it's own plenty of times before but I do need to powder it throughout the day so I would say that for oily people this is not my favorite foundation for sheer shininess. 

However, I did find that when I applied the mineral powder on top of the liquid it staved off the shine much longer than with a normal translucent powder. I did have to top up my powder by the evening but to be fair to any oily skinned person that's nothing new and if you only have to top up powder once in a day you are doing very very well.

The absolute best thing about this combo of let's face it 3 products with coverage on the skin is that it didn't feel overly caked at all. Honestly, I sit in an office with false heat all day, I've no real air so I always know if my skin is not happy with me wearing certain makeup. These 3 products I'm assuming because they are all made by the same company worked really well not to feel heavy on my face. My skin felt like it could breathe all day and I wasn't dying to take it off at all.

Youngblood Cosmetics are really coming on in Ireland now and more and more women and bearing in mind what they are putting on their skin. People are becoming a lot more conscious about mineral makeup and letting their skin breathe as opposed to just covering up spots and 'looking pretty' 

The next product I will have to try now on my skin will be the Youngblood Anti-Shine Mattifier I can't honestly imagine a better product from this makeup range more suited to my skin. I have full trust that getting this will stave off even more of the daily shine and then my skin will be happy healthy and looking clear.
