ESTEE LAUDER Idealist illuminator

Estee Lauder has just launched their newest Ideliast Even Skintone Illuminator. It claims to reduce uneven skintone and skin will look clearer, brighter and vibrant.

I must say after application it really does make your skin more clear, radiant and vibrant. I was surprised by its fast results.

I was told by the salesgirl to use this product with the Estee Lauder's Hydrationist...

I applied it after applying the Illuminator.

It is white in colour and it's very effective. It immediately made my skin supple and smooth. It is also fast absorbing and non-sticky leaving my skin moisturised the whole day.

The Idealist Illuminator is slightly brownish in colour...

Okay, I'm going to lay down the pros and cons of this product:

Pros:
-It does give the effect of a luminous skin

                     BEFORE                                                                          AFTER

As you can see, my skin is pearly and shiny in the 'after' picture.

-It's lightweight and oil-free so it suits my combination skin
-It reduces redness
-It's smooth and glides well on skin
-It lasted very long. I used it in the morning before I go to work and after coming back from work, my skin is still radiant with a shimmery effect!
-The bottle has a pump so it's hygienic =)

Cons:
-Since it has a shiny effect, it may be quite bad for bad oily skin because it'll make your face greasy looking. But I think after a few blottings, it will do just fine.
-It's very lightweight hence light coverage so it's not a replacement of a BB cream.
-Of course don't expect immediate effect for your skin to be even after a few days or rather scars to to be gone immediately. It may take quite awhile.

Ideally, it's quite a good product. It instantly makes your face more radiant. Especially if you didn't have enough sleep, it'll have the effect as if you slept for a good 8 hours!!
Besides that, it's an ideal product for any skintype!
