Skincare for Flawless Make-Up

Flawless make-up starts with a solid skincare routine. I am super excited to share two of my favorite skincare products from Tula that have really stepped up my make-up game!

Why Tula?

I have been using Tula for over 6 months now and absolutely love it! Here are a few reasons why:

  • All Tula products are cruelty-free
  • Made with probiotics and superfoods
  • Gentle formula that does not irritate my skin

Discount Code

My code COLLEENCOOK gets you $$ off every Tula purchase.

*While I do make a small commission when you use my discount codes and links, most importantly I want to share Tula because I love their products so much and have noticed a significant difference in how my make up looks after using Tula*

Tula Brighten Up Smoothing Primer Gel

I wanted to first talk about my favorite primer, the Smoothing Primer Gel. I like this because it makes my foundation and make up go on so much smoother and helps make my make up last all day (and night!) This may be my all time favorite Tula product because of how well it works!

The Texture: the gel may look different than anything you have seen – at least that’s how it was for me! It works like glue for your foundation but isn’t sticky at all! It feels soft and smooth, but not watery or creamy like moisturizer/serum.

How to Use: I apply this to my skin after using a vitamin C serum. You could also use a moisturizer, but I would recommend waiting a few minutes after so that it dries before applying the primer. If I use it without applying a serum beforehand, the gel is more likely to rub off. Also I have noticed the primer may rub off if you apply too much. I only use about 1-2 peas worth of product – you really don’t need a lot. You do not need to wait before applying foundation.

I have had the same bottle since April and still have over half left, so for me one lasts about a year – I typically use it 4x per week.

Rose Glow and Get It Cooling Eye Balm

To be honest, before I tried the eye balm I was not convinced this product would work haha. But after hearing so many amazing reviews I really wanted to try it out to see for myself if it really made a difference. I am so happy to say, IT DOES! I love the eye balm because it makes me look and feel more awake – which is such a lifesaver as a night shift nurse. It has a cooling sensation which feels so good! I like to think of this product as a highlighter for my under eyes.

What it does: Reduces the look of dark circles, brightens, soften and hydrates the eye area, protects skin

Made with: caffeine, aloe, hyaluronic acid, rosehip oil, rose water, blueberry, watermelon, apple

How to use: Pat or rub stick on under eye area, before or after applying make up. I personally like to apply my eye balm after my make-up so that it is more noticeable. I also like to use it on no-make-up days.

I have been using the same tube since April and I have about 2/3 left – so I would say this lasts me about a year too.

If you have tried either of these Tula products, what did you think about them? Let me know in the comments below!
