The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur

The secret to the perfect selfie is here. No retouch needed! I've talked about The Body Shop's All-In-One Instablur launch here, now it's time for a full review.

The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur

5-Action Perfector:

1. 12-hour shine controlling
2. Pore smoothing
3. Blemish hiding
4. Complexion unifying
5. Makeup extending

Contains Vitamin E and Community Fair Trade Marula Oil. Use alone or before foundation.

Ingredients:

Swatch:

Pros:

• It comes in a universal (clear) shade.
• It blurs out fine lines and minor blemishes - giving skin a soft-focused effect.
• It has no scent.
• It has no SPF, hence no white cast, making the skin photo-ready even with flash photography.
• It has Vitamin E and marula oil to moisturize the skin.
• It has powders to mattify the skin.
• It feels velvety smooth on the skin.
• It controls oil for a long time - no shine even after 6 hours. When my nose starts getting shiny, I just blot with an oil-control film and I don't top if off with powder. My makeup still looks fresh by then.
• It makes my makeup last longer.
• Very recommended for oily skin! 

Cons:

• It has no tint or coverage.
• It contains dimethicone.

I'll share with you a really simple look using just 4 of my favorite, trusty products from The Body Shop.

The finish is poreless and matte, and I can just add on a highlighter if I want a dewy finish.

Products used:

• The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur
• The Body Shop All-In-One Face Base in 035
• The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit in 03 Dark Brown/Black
• The Body Shop Lip Gloss in Vanilla

I don't use Instablur every single day, since it still contains silicone. Silicone (which came in the form of dimethicone for this product) is inherent in most makeup bases/primers, as it fills in the dips and craters on the surface of your skin, resulting in a smooth, even surface for your base to cling on to. However, it may clog pores when it's not thoroughly removed at the end of the day.

I like using The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur when I know I'm going to have a long day ahead, when I know it'll be hot or humid and I don't want my makeup to melt off, or when there are special events I have to attend. Can't risk an oily face when there will be lots of pictures taken! I love how easy it is for me to achieve a perfect base makeup whenever I use Instablur.
