Morning everyone! Today I thought I’d talk through a few SEVENTEEN
products I think are perfect for creating a long lasting summer makeup look!
Long lasting makeup is something I look for all year round but especially in
the summer when it’s hot and my makeup has a tendency to melt or transfer!
SEVENTEEN Stay Time Foundation with SPF 25 in Soft Ivory*
First up is foundation and after hearing so much hype about this
recently I just had to try it – a foundation that promises full cover and up to
25 hours wear has my name written all over it! I’m happy to say that this doesn’t
disappoint! It’s quite a thick formulation so I like to use a damp Beauty
Blender to make sure it spreads evenly over my face and the coverage is so good
I don’t even feel the need to use a separate concealer for spots! Almost
unheard of with me! I've been wearing this to work on really hot days and can’t
get over how well it lasts on my oily skin, I do set it but find with other foundations
they can separate round my nose very quickly, something that this doesn’t do,
hurrah! From what I can tell, the shade range in this is very pale so if you
are darker skinned you may struggle to find a match. I have the shade Soft
Ivory which is perfect for me when I don’t have any fake tan on but I will be
hoping my nearest Boots sorts out their testers soon so I can find a darker
shade for when I tan!
SEVENTEEN Stay Time Pressed Powder in Fair
I’ve had this for a while now and am happy with how well it works to
mattify my skin. The powder itself feels super smooth and has lasted me ages! I
do wish it came in a translucent shade though, I have the shade Fair and it can
look a little patchy if not careful, it could be my overzealous application of
powder though!
SEVENTEEN Skin Wow! Concealer in Fair*
I’m so impressed with this and have become a little obsessed over the
last few weeks! I used it every night on holiday as I didn’t sleep well so this
faked a bright eyed look for me! When I first swatched it I didn’t think it
would be brightening enough for under my eyes but how wrong I was! I usually do
a triangle under my eyes and sometimes down my nose and on my cupids bow then
go in with my Beauty Blender and love the effect it has! I usually just use
concealers under my eyes but see much more of a difference with this! I love
the packaging too, it’s so eye-catching but I suppose it will be hard to tell when
it runs out!

SEVENTEEN Define and Conquer Contour Kit in Medium*
I love the packaging of this, it’s so NARS-esque! The product inside is
brilliant too, the powders are so soft and easy to blend! The highlight shade
is matte – perfect for setting under eyes and although the contour shade always
looks very warm in my swatches, once it’s on my face it’s a really natural shade
that I like to apply under my cheekbones and up towards my temples to give my
skin a little extra colour!
SEVENTEEN Blush Powder in China Pink
This is probably the one product I don’t love the packaging of! It’s
very ColourPop in that it’s a screw top but as it’s a powder formulation I
don’t see why it can’t be a click and close, it would save more time! However,
I am so impressed with the pigmentation it offers and how long lasting it is!
It still looks as fresh at the end of the day as it did at the start! There is
also a great shade range and best of all – it’s only £2.99!

SEVENTEEN Powder and Blush Brush
This was a free gift with the powder and blush mentioned earlier which
you might have seen in this haul (SEVENTEEN do great offers!) and it’s
such an underrated product! It doesn’t necessarily make my makeup last any
longer but its super soft and the perfect size for applying either blush or
contour!
SEVENTEEN Brow’s That! Brow Kit
This was the first brow kit I think I got from the drugstore, and it’s
still one of the best in my opinion! It contains a wax, brow powder and
highlighter as well as a pencil and mini brush to define your brows. The brow
shade is the perfect cool toned brown that works perfectly with my colouring and
the highlight shade does have a shimmer to it but it’s really subtle! The wax
is slightly tinted and helps to set the brows making them last all day!
SEVENTEEN Falsifeye HD! Mascara in Blackest Black*
To make my makeup extra-long lasting I would have picked a waterproof
mascara because that’s what I usually go for but I love how lengthening and
separating this is! It also doesn’t flake or wear off (unless I rub at my eyes
but then whose doesn’t after that!). This wouldn’t be one for anyone who likes
lots of drama from their mascara but if you are going for a natural look and
want to look wide awake with lots of length, this is gorgeous and not clumpy at
all!
SEVENTEEN Eye Shadow Mono in Brown
I am the first to admit that I am a bit of a snob when it comes to eye
shadows and I usually go for higher end formulations but at £3.89 I had to
check out SEVENTEEN’S range! I went for the shade Brown which is a gorgeous
metallic - you guessed it - brown shade! It’s lovely and pigmented, applies
easily and lasts all day (though I do use the NARS Smudgeproof primer)!
Definitely worth a try!
SEVENTEEN Lip Crayon in Bold*
This is such a gorgeous bright coral perfect for summer! I find that it
gives a nice shine but it’s not overly glossy so it’s more long-lasting than
other lip crayons I’ve tried!

They are! Xx
DeleteI really wanna try their concealer! It looks so much like YSL and Ive seen people compare the two and was actually quite surprised by how similar they are!
ReplyDeletePam xo/ Pam Scalfi♥
I am obsessed with it Pam! I've never tried the YSL but the outer packaging definitely looks similar! Xx
DeleteI haven't tried anything from Seventeen but I was scrolling through their IG yesterday and for such an affordable brand their packaging is top notch, I was very impressed. The foundation sounds like a dream come true (fellow oily girl over here) I hope they have my shade, plus that gorgeous eyeshadow looks lovely. Definitely want to check out some of their products, great post, thanks for sharing! Xx
ReplyDeleteAlLittleKiran | Bloglovin
Thanks for reading! Definitely check out their foundation if you can get to a bigger Boots store, all my local ones are small and only ever have 2 shades out! Xx
DeleteI was so impressed when I tried out the mono eyeshadows from Seventeen, seriously I didn't think they would be THAT good - Rose Quartz is a gorgeous shade as well! I want to add more of their neutral shades to my collection now! I've been wanting to try the seventeen contour kit, like you said, it really looks like a Nars dupe from the outside! xx
ReplyDeletewww.iridescentplaces.com
Ah I looked at that one too! Doesn't it! It's really similar to the Paloma contour! Xx
DeleteI only tried a few products from Seventeen and one of their mascara is still one of my favourite mascara! I tried that Skin wow concealer yesterday and it seems like it is easy to work with, need to swatch it one more time to make up my mind :)
ReplyDeleteEla BellaWorld
It's amazing, I am loving it! So affordable too! Xx
DeleteI love that range of Seventeen eyeshadows! I want to try the WOW concealer & some of the other products you've mentioned here! Great post! xx

That Seventeen Wow! concealer is highly raved in the beauty world but unfortunately for me, this brand is not available here in Canada. I could get it through eBay and Amazon but the price is crazy expensive there.

DeleteJust lately I am obsessed with Seventeen products! Especially the WOW concealer!

Seventeen offer such a great range of affordable products and there's definitely a few gems in there. I'm eager to try the skin wow concealer next, just need to find my shade (it's always out of stock for some reason) x
ReplyDeleteBeauty with charm
It's so good! I'm sure you'll love it once you get your shade :) xx

ReplyDeleteJess xx / Jessica Ann ♥
Just a bit of a nuisance but the product is great! Xx
DeleteThis is the first time I listen about this brand. The products look really great! Especially the brow kit and the contour kit, it defenitely has some NARS-like action going on!
ReplyDeleteCy | Dulce de Mango

DeleteI've never really used 17 products but the Stay Wow concealer looks just like the YSL Touche Eclat! What an affordable price :)
ReplyDeleteAmbar | Her Little Loves
Such a great product too! Xx
DeleteI love a good longwearing, meltproof makeup, in fact that's actually my latest post at the moment too! I usually like higher end eyeshadow formulas too like your yourself but that brown shade looks lovely and golden and summery!

Thanks! Xx
DeleteI don't reach for this brand enough but all of these products seem lovely. I love that the foundation shade looks really light too, it's hard to find that with drugstore products!
ReplyDeleteGemma Louise
It's so frustrating isn't it! This one has more light shades than dark so I'm sure you could find one to match :) xx
DeleteThe eye shadow shade is so gorgeous, I love it.Thanks for sharing.
