Avon Invisible Light Illuminating Make Up Base

To be honest I'm not sure why I ended up with this product. When I flick through the Avon brochure I usually end up with a list as long as my arm of products I want to try, but this never made it onto the list, so the only explanation I can think of for why I have this is that it came on one of Avon's offers of spending a certain amount across a range to get a product free. It costs £6.50 in the latest brochure and you can get it from an Avon rep or their website. All Avon say about this product is that it's an illuminating make up base which should be worn under or over foundation for a healthy, natural looking glow. It comes in a small white 30ml ...  Read the complete review

Recently, while hunting for my tone of foundation (which can be a hard job!) in the Avon Catalogue, I noticed Avon's Invisible Light Illuminating Make Up Base, and I was interested as I've never used a Make Up Base before in my life, and thought I'd give it a go and see how good it actually is. The claims Avon made about this Make Up Base was that is was to give me "a natural glow" and "illuminate skin." These are big claims, as I, personally, have very dull, pale skin, and it would be amazing if it could give me a natural glow. The product comes in a 30ml tube, which can be squeezed easily, so getting the Base out is very easy. The ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit, when it comes to Avon, I can't look through a brochure without ordering something. It's not because I use the products regularly and I'm not even particularly fond of the products. I think it's more to do with the fact that I've been there and done that and I feel so sorry for the young girls that come to collect their catalogue come rain, sleet, snow or heatwave (yeah right). Avon was my first source of income and I began selling it when I was 13. Did you know that Avon reps have to BUY the brochures? They also have to BUY the order forms and they even have to BUY the paper bags that your orders are delivered to you in. Avon pay their reps quite a small ...  Read the complete review

Another product from Avon which sounded great in the book, and with the summer approaching I wanted a less heavy foundation and something that was a bit lighter that still gave me coverage, hence when I saw Avon's invisible light base it seemed perfect. My nan also being a big fan on the stuff rated it very highly claiming it gave enough coverage for her during the day and gave her a nice base for her powder at night. However, trying it out for myself I wasn't too enthusiastic about the stuff, it doesn't offer enough coverage for me personally. However I will say it does give a nice base for me to put my normal foundation on top of. I probably wouldn't ...  Read the complete review

When I read about this in the avon catalogue I was really pleased it seemed exactly what I needed: something to give me that really glowing skin.... or so I thought. If you wear it alone use it sparingly because otherwise there's an obvious sheen that resembles an oil slick pattern on a puddle. I wouldn't wear it all over my face either but a little bit on your cheeks does add a nice glow. My major problem is that avon say you can wear it under foundation. I tried it under my usual foundation. When you apply your foundation it seems to stick to the make up base and form an uneven clumpy surface. I tried using foundation brushes and sponges and my ...  Read the complete review
