The Review

5 reasons why our 'Editor Obsession' seal of approval was earned...

#1: It makes me look like I've devoted hours to skin care

#2: It comes with the best brush you'll use this year

Now I must admit (niche fact about me), my trypophobia (a fear of repetitive patterns) gave me a slight struggle when admiring the packaging. But that’s a me problem, and the aerated nature of the foundation formula was more than worth it.

#3: It actually covers my pigmentation

Now I must admit (niche fact about me), my trypophobia (a fear of repetitive patterns) gave me a slight struggle when admiring the packaging. But that’s a me problem, and the aerated nature of the foundation formula was more than worth it.

#4: My face looked fresh at 4pm

Now I must admit (niche fact about me), my trypophobia (a fear of repetitive patterns) gave me a slight struggle when admiring the packaging. But that’s a me problem, and the aerated nature of the foundation formula was more than worth it.

#5: I didn't feel like I was wearing makeup

Now I must admit (niche fact about me), my trypophobia (a fear of repetitive patterns) gave me a slight struggle when admiring the packaging. But that’s a me problem, and the aerated nature of the foundation formula was more than worth it.

She’s covered every side of beauty content, from directing beauty editorial shoots to rounding up the best glossy serums for golden hour skin. Having spent nearly a decade immersed in the beauty realm, Delaney’s knowledge of beauty is as extensive as her collection of tinted lip oils (read: extremely extensive). Delaney is currently the Digital Managing Editor of BEAUTYcrew, and her beauty wisdom also appears across beautyheaven, ELLE and Marie Claire. She enjoys channelling her personal hobby (testing beauty products) into her professional work (talking about testing beauty products), and considers perfecting the art of a cat eye in a moving car her life’s greatest accomplishment.
