Barbara Daly Make Up - What's good?

10 replies

Inspired by a few mentions on another thread, I've asked my sister to get me some Barbara Daly make up for Christmas. Whats good from her range - esp for a vey pale faced blonde like me! Her website has a top 10 products list but can't see any others - is that it? (Can't get to a Tescos for a look as not based in UK).

i like the eyeshadow and foundation and the concealer which is really thick. the face lift cream made my face itchy but it gives a nice effect.

on the whole it's good value for money though lipsticks don't last long and they made the face powder smaller for the same price - grr.

Face Lift is good -use as a mosturiser on its own or under foundation for a nice glow- think it only comes in one shade too so asy for your sister to buy you.The mini nail varnish is good too they are small but means you don't get them drying out like larger bottles.

The concealer is good. I'm very fair-skinned and find it hard to get foundation light enough for me but their 'fair' concealer is perfect and it covers well.

Er... has Tesco discontinued the Barbara Daly range, or have they pulled it all prior to a revamp? There's just Rimmel in my local store, and when I asked the assistant, she said even the big Tesco locally wasn't stocking it.

Sorry if bearer of bad news!

Was all there in its glory in my tesco last Wed

Oh good! Liking the pressed powder foundation, and the tiny nail varnishes that you can use up before they go gloopy.

Thanks for the helpful tips! Will ask sister to go to a big store. (Maybe they are making space for the xmas stuff???)

The concealer. It's very thick so you can dab a bit on for light coverage - or build it up. It's creamy, a lot like NARS.
