The Best Outfits of the BBC Version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The BBC adaptation of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a television miniseries based on the popular children's fantasy novel written by C.S. Lewis. The story follows the adventures of four siblings - Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy - who discover a magical wardrobe that transports them to the enchanting world of Narnia. The series, which originally aired in 1988, consists of four episodes, each approximately thirty minutes long. It was produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and was met with critical acclaim for its faithful adaptation of Lewis' beloved book.

The first claim I noticed is something I referred to earlier, the “mochi”-style cushion:

u can build up ur coverage by applying powder foundation after liquid base makeup and yeah back to ur question as these two products were two different types of base makeup, i cant really tell which coverage is higher, really sorry dear. i never use powder foundation before but i do not recommend using powder foundation before any liquid foundation cushion or bb cc unless u re super duper oily face.

It was produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and was met with critical acclaim for its faithful adaptation of Lewis' beloved book. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is the first installment in Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia" series and serves as an introduction to the magical realm of Narnia. The story takes place during World War II and begins when the Pevensie children are sent to live in the countryside to escape the dangers of war.

Great review! What are the shades made available for this product (from lightest to darkest)? In addition, what is the recommended website to purchase this product? I'm from the States.

there are 3 shades available, which are:
#21 Light Beige
#22 Pink Beige
#23 Natural Beige

the lightest shade is #21 and the darkest is #23
hmm, I do some research but mostly they ship from South Korea
u can get it from ebay or amazon, shipping fee is lower
hope this will help :D Delete

hi ! I am golden brown and shade 23 is darkest but i am worried if it's going to be too bright ? how can I know if it suits my skin before ordering ? Delete

im quite worry it will cause me extra acnessssss as my skin is quite sensitive x.x
Reply Delete

So far this cushion didn't break me out, I'm quite sensitive too, but remember to remove ur makeup carefully so that it won't clog ur pores
I didn't wear makeup daily since I have acne problem :) Delete

so,how about your sensitive skin ? does this product makes your skin breakout ?? thankss Reply Delete

Nope, this cushion is fine with me, no breakout
i have breakout before when i applied 3ce liquid foundation and 3ce cover cream foundation :D Delete

All major korean makeup brands make products with cruelty free methods as per the federal regulations Delete

IMO, they both have the same long lasting power, just the april skin have higher coverage than laneige, april skin doesn't make my face look cakey but laneige do
I think depends on the skin conditions Delete

I think nowadays all things have fake product but dont worry
Buy on gmarket or testerkorea sure authentic
They have a authentic sticker on their products
:D Delete

Hi what will happen to your face if you use fake product of april skin? Bec here in phil it is very cheapest php120.00 Delete

Hello, please don't use any fake products on your skin, who knows those products will cause you what, maybe lots of skin troubles? Though it's affordable but you don't have to take risk to try. I believe in you get what you paid for. :D so please dont ever try fake products. Delete

Heyy.. really likes ur review. I would like to ask u, act, my tone color of skin is like normal malay color . So, could u please suggest me, do i better buy #22 or #23 april skin? Thanks. Reply Delete

i think #23 will fairer but u can have a try
i cant really tell #23 is how much darker than #21
:D Delete

Is this cushion actually BB cream but just that it is in a cushion form?

well, they not even mention any bb words in the description so i think it's more like a foundation?
Delete

Can I ask what shade you are in the Laneige BB cushion? Cause I am using Laniege BB cushion in #23 though it is a tad (teeny bit) too dark for me. So I can gauge on which shade to buy for the April Skin one! Reply Delete

I used #13 of Laneige bb cushion. Hmm, if #23 is too dark for u, u can try #23 for the april skin cushion as #21 of april skin is lighter than #13 of laneige :) Delete

i'm a laneige #13 but you say april #21 is lighter than laniege #13? so if i want to get I need to get #22? Reply Delete

as shade 22 is pink beige, if ur skin is pink undertone then shade 22 will be perfect but if ur skin have acne problem or u have redness on ur face, im not really recommend this shade Delete

I have normal skin and i live in Indonesia which the weather are summer and fall. I am confused to choose Black or white? Thankyou;) Reply Delete

definitely black version!, white version is too moisturize for this humid weather, im in malaysia which have the same weather :D Delete

I always want to try April Skin black cushion since I have oily skin with acne problem. Please help me find the right shade. I use Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in 820 Creamy Natural and e.l.f Acne Fighting Foundation in Buff. Thankss :) Reply Delete

Hi dear , I'm confusing how to choose the right shade . 21 and 22 . May I know what's the different and how can I choose it ? 😖 Reply Delete

21 is light beige whereas 22 is pink beige, if you have warm undertone go for 21 or 23, if you have pink undertone go for 22. Thanks Delete

Warm and which means look natural and pink undertone which mean white to pink ? 🤔🤔🤔sorry too much question cause normally if im using the Bb cream I was use the most lighter . Delete

may i know what bb cream are u using? cause asian mostly have warm undertone which mean yellow Delete

A Very interesting product. I have big pores and hope to get covered by this cushion. Do you think this April skin will help? Reply Delete

Not really can cover the pore actually, try some primer like porefessional before aplly this cushion :D Delete

Try the Innisfree no sebum blur primer before foundation or bb. Most of their products help minimize the look of pores Delete

Hi Celine Han, I am so interested with this product, may I know where can I order or buy this april skin product? Reply Delete

U can either order it from gmarket, testerkorea or koreadepart, if u live in msia, get it from 11street :D Delete

Hi Celine Han, I am so interested with this product, may I know where can I order or buy this april skin product? Reply Delete

Hi celine, so since you mentioned that this product is waterproof, how do you usually clean this on your face? Can we just clean it by using a facial foam? I never tried anything after i put my sunblock and i have zero experience about powders, foundations and bb creams. So here i am asking your advice 😁 thank you! Reply Delete

U needa remove ur makeup using makeup remover or cleansing water, IMO only facial foam is not enough, I use different remover or remove my makeup depends on how heavy my makeup is. After sunblock apply primer or straight to foundation/bb, then only apply small amount of powders on t zone or easily get oily area, btw different PPL have different skin, can't really tell which bb or foundation is the best :D Delete

Hi, when you apply it on face and use a tissue to blot , will it stick to the tissue paper? thanks
Reply Delete

depends on how many or how thinly applied, i think most of the foundation or bb does transfer, but if u set it with powder will transfer less :D Delete

Thanks for the review. Just wanna ask you, im a person that sweat a lot, bfore this, im using iope bb cushion, but whenever im sweating, it bcomes not smooth and smudge. Does this april skin sweat-resistance? Tq Reply Delete

i dun think this cushion is sweat-resistance, this cushion actually does not last long, the first impression is good but later on u will know what happened, it'll become cakey somehow, i think u can have a try on Etude House Real Powder Cushion or Mamonde Cover Powder Cushion since they are suitable for summer Delete

This product suit to cover any acne, pores on skin right? Is it it will probably disappears the acne when we applied this product for a long period? Reply Delete

yes. it may faded throughout the day, though it is a high coverage cushion but it not really last long. Delete

Hi thanks for the review wonder if you can assist me in choosing the right shade between 21 & 23 im warm undertone but acidic though. Im thinking about 23 but it might get darker after a while..thanks Reply Delete

Just bout shade 21 , find its too light for me when I put on but after a while find quite ok. I hv got dark pigmentation but Coverage quite good . Not sure if I shd change to shade 22 Reply Delete

actually this cushion is more on white side, the shade 21 is way lighter than normal Korean bb cushions shade 21, but since u said after applied dont have big difference between ur face undertone then should be ok. :D Delete

er. i dun have mac product but I'm using Estee Lauder Double Wear in shade 1N1 Ivory Nude, hope this can help u >.< Delete

You're probably a few shades fairer than I am. I used to use Estée Lauder double wear 2N2 Fresco. Wasn't sure if that was the correct shade for me as I ended up using Estée Lauder double wear light in shade #02 instead. I guess if you're using #21 for April skin, I should use #23? It's just hard to purchase foundation from April skin as I'm so unsure of which shade to get and I really want to get one =[ Reply Delete

err. if u're using 2N2 then go to #23, cause this cushion looks really fair once u apply but after few minutes the shade will become "normal" that match my skin tone, this cushion's shade is fairer than the other cushion >.< Delete

hi,
comparing coverage between powder foundation by bareminerals & aprilskin, which does it better, u think?
tqs
Reply Delete

i never use powder foundation before but i do not recommend using powder foundation before any liquid foundation/cushion or bb/cc unless u're super duper oily face. u can build up ur coverage by applying powder foundation after liquid base makeup
and yeah back to ur question
as these two products were two different types of base makeup, i cant really tell which coverage is higher, really sorry dear >.< if laneige and aprilskin, definitely will be aprilskin THANKS :D feel free to ask again Delete

Reviews for "The Costumes of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: A Look Behind the Scenes of the BBC Series"

1. John Smith - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "BBC's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". The acting felt forced and lacked emotion, making it difficult to connect with the characters. Additionally, the special effects were quite dated and took away from the overall viewing experience. The pacing of the show was off, with certain scenes dragging on while others felt rushed. Overall, it did not live up to my expectations and I would not recommend it.

2. Rachel Johnson - 1/5 stars - I couldn't make it through the entire "BBC's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". The production quality was extremely poor, with cheap-looking sets and costumes. The dialogue felt stale and confusing, making it difficult to follow the story. It completely failed to capture the magical and fantastical elements of the novel, leaving me feeling completely bored and disinterested. I would not waste my time on this adaptation again.

3. Emily Lee - 2/5 stars - "BBC's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" was a letdown for me. The casting choices were questionable, with actors who didn't seem quite right for their roles. The pacing was all over the place, which made it hard to fully engage with the narrative. The special effects were also lackluster and didn't do justice to the fantastical world of Narnia. Overall, it was a forgettable adaptation that didn't capture the magic of the book.
