January in the UK is one of the worst months. I feel like it’s been grey for weeks and I’m constantly on the look out for the spring bulbs poking their heads through the soil to reassure me we are heading for spring.
If you feel like your
skin needs a pick-me-up too or you are on the hunt for your products for
upcoming events or your wedding then you may be interested in today's review.
Niod, which comes from the fab brand Deciem, have an
interesting product called Photography Fluid, Opacity 12%.
What is it?
It’s a light textured fluid that is infused with various
light reflecting prisms.
You can wear it alone
on moisturised skin, use it as a primer underneath your regular foundation or
even mix a few drops with your foundation to give it a more radiant finish.
It contains light reflecting prisms that bounce light off of
the skin in lots of directions to blur out skin pigmentation and redness but
also to give a radiance to the skin that doesn’t look artificial.
Initially it applies
very white to the skin so you may be scared it will leave you with a washed out
pearly face but it quickly spreads out and blends in. The undertones are softly
golden so on a fair to medium skin it will reflect a warm sheen. On a deeper
skin tone it will look a brighter, slightly more yellow highlight.
It’s hydrating without feeling tacky and would work on all skin types. It actually dries pretty fast so you need to work relatively quick. I found it applied easier when buffed into the skin straight after moisturiser. If your skin is particularly oily then avoid too much down the central area of the face however it’s a nice way to add a matte textured highlight to a combination/oily skin comfortably.

I have spoken to a
few others who have also found this. Because of this I would say it’s a
dressing table item, not a transportable kit item.
If you have particularly large pores then spritz a skin mist
over the face to aid blending and sheer out the coverage. Using too much over
open pores and not blending well means it does linger slightly in this area.
Also this is not a slap on and dash product. Hastily apply
this and it can easily streak or appear patchy. Lovingly blend it with a firmly
packed buffing brush, aided with a sneaky spritz of something like Emma Hardie
Plump and Glow or MAC Fix+ and you’ll be fine.

Lovely post! I'm normally quite nervous to try liquid highlighting products, but I may give this one a try!

This looks really interesting, it's a shame that the bottle leaks as I'm always on the go! x
