Testing ‘By Terry’ Light-Expert Click Brush

Testing ‘By Terry’ Light-Expert Click Brush

‘By Terry’, founded by Terry Gunzburg, the French cosmetic guru behind Touche Eclat (a product that I have never liked), has just recently come across my radar. I had been invited to an evening in Space NK on Grafton Street  Dublin where ‘By Terry’ specialist Lesley Damon was demonstrating some of the products to a small group. And yes, there was prosecco!

When I find a product that I like, I tend to stay loyal to that brand until it no longer serves me well. I am like that with men too! (Still content with GG, though!). I was perfectly happy with my Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder which you can read about here, but I was curious as I had not heard of ‘By Terry’ before. And so curiosity…..

We watched a demonstration of the product, The Light Expert Click Brush, on a beautiful young woman, beautiful before and yes, radiant afterwards. You get the idea; there is a brush on one end and when you click on the opposite end, the product comes through to the brush. It is Click and Apply.  Lesley showed us how to start on the cheeks and then brush outwards to ensure you get good even coverage.

But how would it look on my older, drier and obviously wrinkly face?

I want a foundation that adds radiance and adds a glow to my skin, not a heavy foundation that sits in the creases and wrinkles.

And this product certainly seems to have the ingredients to help with that, as it contains hyaluronic acid, which as we know helps plump up fine lines, and silicone, which gives you a dewy smooth finish. Lesley then took me under her expert hands and gave me the ‘By Terry’ make-over.

I was so happy with my trial make-up that I did purchase the foundation and have been using it every second day or so. It lasts all day and there no touch-ups or re-applications are needed.

 

PROS

There is no wastage; one click certainly covers my face

Perfect for drier, more mature skin

Gives a light natural coverage

Illuminating sheen which helps minimise fine lines

Brush makes it perfect for travelling

CONS

It is probably too moisturising for oilier skin

Brush marks can need a little elbow grease to ensure they blend out

There is a slight perfume smell which might irritate some

It is quite expensive at €52

You cannot see how much is left in the container

 

Would I purchase it again? Probably. Below you can see the results after the make-over. And yes it always looks much better when a professional does it. I can never get the same results at home!

    You look lovely! I’ve not heard of this brand in Australia so not sure if we have it here. I do love trying out new makeup even though I don’t wear it ever day it does give me a lift on days I’m feeling blah! Thanks for the review. I’ve seen you on Instagram but this is the first time I’m visiting your website. Have a lovely day!

    Interesting post Hilda. I have used some By Terry products before but found them a bit disappointing (mostly lipsticks) and like you, I never liked Touche Eclat – not a great highlighter and used incorrectly by most as a concealer. I like the sound of this foundation because I apply mine now with a brush that looks similar, and it takes a bit of elbow grease. Your skin looks great in the photo. How much coverage does the foundation give? I need something to cover pigmentation but I don’t like a heavy, mask-like look.

      I think it gives good coverage. When at the demonstration she applied more on the young girl than I would put on myself. I like it because it is natural. Why don’t you pop into a Space Nk and test it. It would give more coverage than Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder..

Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday with our beautiful family on Safari in Birmingham last week.

Let's call it chaotic; wild & wonderful all at once with four Grandkids between 17 months and 7 years old. 😂

Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and our friends @annademart.ie and @hynes6026 gave me a chance to wear this beautiful dress from @paulasmalahide. Visited Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, ate delicious food  and drank too much wine with lovely people @mcevoycarlos and @mcevoyleonie. More pics on stories.

Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place on the grid. Bought from @studio124dublin. Over on the blog I have published a post on having a colonoscopy. 
Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

Magic weather this weekend .... Magic weather this weekend ....
Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tda Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tdactiveholidays 2024 brochures with new initiatives and destinations. Get planning now with the best in #guided travel. Don't leave it too late. Practically nothing left this year.
Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not A Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not Age'! I may not have crushed it but I did do some damage to my fingers. Hence splints and red bandages.Yes rushing about and tripped ...luckily only on grass or it could have been worse. It might have been my teeth!

Anyway back to the outfit. I had to borrow a crochet top and bag from my friend @marie.sweeney4. And they look amazing with my suit bought from @studio124dublin and hat @wallaroohatsuk (old)
Pop over to see how my friends tackled the challenge

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
I love a small bag for walking and shopping and this beauty in top quality leather comes in a variety of colours. 
And yes it came home with me!

Shopped my wardrobe for the rest.

Orange you glad the sun is back at last! Love the Orange you glad the sun is back at last! 
Love the colour of this linen shirt and it is always packed for sun holidays, because of its versatility.

 Years old and bought @paulasmalahide.  Here it acts as a cover up over a swimsuit in Dubrovnik. Also love the colour and roominess of the Yoko bag @absolutely_patsy. 
Sunnies  and slides @tkmaxxie.
Let's hope the good weather stays. I might even venture into the Irish sea!😂

'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month' 'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month's 'Style Not Age'! And I did not realise it was an album by The Sparks back in 1974. 🫢
That was the year I did my Leaving Cert exams so maybe that is why it passed me by. But I do like kimonos. 
Love the paisley pattern and have no idea where I got it. Check out my friends @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish.

Do you have clothes that only see the light of day Do you have clothes that only see the light of day when you are on holidays? I do. Though this jumpsuit from @trafficpeople was worn a few times in Ireland when we had a heatwave! Remember😂
The hat from @h&m was prettied up with a scarf and birkenstock dupes are @tkmaxxie.
Blog post up about our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a blast at Ali and Ian's wedding. Dubrovnik is beautiful.

We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of the year. Still mad about him and often with him, but still love him completely and for ever!

'Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.'

 What is the secret? 
Resilience, an ability to compromise and a sense of humour. Oh and an ability to zone out. GG is a sweetheart, kind and loving. He has an endearing/annoying habit of telling the same stories time and again. Now I zone out. 🙂
He puts up with my shortcomings too, though I am sure they are minor😂
