Having plunged straight in at the deep end with an order for several products, I’d been wondering if I’d live to regret it. “I want to believe” is a common mantra for so many of us and most of us have fallen foul of mediocre makeup claiming to be better than an Instagram filter. But I think the difference with Studio 10 is that it wants to keep it simple. It’s a limited range of products for a start with little choice shade-wise and it’s not particularly cheap. But something just intrinsically honest came through the blurb which was why I decided to risk it. So it’s a limited range because we really don’t need all those items the high street shops try to dazzle us with, few shades because bizarrely, they all just seem to work, certainly for my skin tone and the price… you definitely get what you pay for plus there are all kinds of offer codes and a very generous rewards scheme. And what about the products themselves? Everything brings warmth, luminosity, radiance and the sheen of youthfulness. What more could a mature woman ask for? Well, the fact that the superior blending powers make application virtually foolproof and that boosts your confidence when trying out the video guides. I’ve got the Plumping Blush Glow-plexion, the Perfect Bronze Glow-plexion, Hydra Lift i-Corrector and Visible Lift i-Radiance, all of which are astonishingly easy to blend. The Lipliner and Plumping Gloss glide on like butter but have great staying power. The overall effect is so natural yet incredibly healthy and youthful looking. A face full of artificial gunk can be ageing on a 16 year old (how often have you been surprised that the girl you thought was 25 was actually only a school kid?) so it stands to reason that on a 50-something, it ain’t gonna do you no favours. I’ve never felt so enthusiastic about a whole makeup range before and I don’t see how anybody could be disappointed, whether they’re ‘of a certain age’ or not.
