Make-Up Review: Dainty Doll

Nicola Roberts Dainty Doll make-up reviewed



Dainty Doll is a brand of make-up designed by Nicola Roberts, of Girls Aloud fame, for those of us who have particularly pale skin - like me.

I purchased the liquid foundation in the shade ‘Very Light 001’ which as you can imagine, is very pale. The foundation is dispensed through a pump bottle; this handy packaging is ideal for reducing mess and prevents you from using too much at once.

The foundation also provides SPF 15 sun protection, an added essential to help keep delicate skin protected at all times. (If you don’t have an SPF in your foundation, keep an eye out for it in facial moisturisers such as day cream or eye cream. It is vital to your skin routine!)

The liquid is smooth and not too thick, yet the coverage is ideal. You may find that you want to add a little more in places, to hide to odd freckle or two.

I also purchased the Dainty Doll concealer in the shade ‘001 Abracadabra’. This is packaged in a compact with a mirror, handy to keep in your handbag and take with you on the go. I smooth the creamy concealer over dark circles or imperfections by dabbing on lightly with my fingertip. I use this after moisturising and before applying the Dainty Doll foundation.

Using both together gives good coverage overall, and can be dressed down for a simple day look, or add some blusher and sparking eye shadow to give yourself more colour for a night out.

Overall rating: 7/10
