    It’s ok.....

    I went to the drugstore to find a foundation and ended up trying this. I personally found this foundation very dry and decently thick on my skin. It did stay matte for a while but I didn’t like how dry it made my skin feel. I think it’d be a better foundation for someone with very oily skin

    I could do better

    The quality was too thick. I just need it for spot coverage but it's to hard to blend. The color seems a little off. Seems like regular low cost drugstore makeup.

    Some flaws

    This mousse foundation has me in two minds. There are some pros to it for sure, but also many cons. In that regard, I feel like it wouldn't be a foundation I would buy again, but might work better for a young person with better quality skin.

    First, let's talk about the colour. The colour I ended up with 'Soft Beige' was actually far too dark for me. Normally I wear porcelain or fair, but I previously tried a soft beige foundation that was only slightly darker than my skin. This one was quite a bit darker, so I assume most of the shades in this range run dark. More than running dark, it has a very orangey tint/base to it that makes it look quite 'fake' when it's on.

    When you first apply the foundation, the texture is very moussey, soft and light and in that way it feels quite comfortable on the skin, but at the same time it takes a ton of product to build up a layer. That means it kind of feels heavy, like a mask, so while the texture is comfortable, the amount of product needed, is not, if that makes sense? Because it's so heavy and you need so much product, it's a real struggle to get this to blend well and that merely adds to the 'mask' like appearance. You better be sure to get the right shade, because if not you are going to look pretty insane if you don't blend well enough and very far down on your neck.

    This foundation did an amazing job covering up some flaws, like my large pores and I'd describe it as on the heavy side of a medium coverage foundation. Unfortunately, some flaws really show up under this foundation. For example, it made my wrinkles stand out a ton! So I definitely would not recommend this for older ladies. I'm only 32 with slight under-eye wrinkles, but the foundation's stiffness meant the wrinkles were a lot more visible after putting it on. It also has a tendency to cling to dry bits of skin really badly, so if you have dry or combination skin, I'd avoid this. It also has kind of an odd smell.

    Because of how difficult it is to blend and move around, it stays really well and will last your workday easily, but this also means it's so difficult to get off. If you tend to only use micellar water as a makeup remover (like me) that won't work here. You'll need a heavy duty waterproof makeup remover to even touch this stuff. For example, when I got some on the tube, it smeared and won't wash off with water and soap. So try your best to be neat and make sure you have a good remover on hand.

    Overall, I feel this is a good option for those with mid dark skin-tones (olives etc) who have flawless skin and are looking for a long-lasting heavy coverage foundation. For us mere mortals, I wouldn't recommend it.

    Fond de teint abordable, mais que je n'ai pas particulièrement apprécié. La texture est épaisse et très difficile à appliquer. Même en m'hydratant bien la peau et avec un bon primer, mon visage semble très poudreux et il accentue particulièrement mes zones sèches. Pas super.

    I bought this foundation hoping to help with oil control and shininess. I was very disappointed in this foundation. I found it did not have good coverage for me and made my pores more noticeable. Even to layer the product to try and get more coverage did not work as it just moved the product around and removed it. It rubs off easily, especially if you scratch/touch your face it comes right off and leaves a mark and it is not possible to blot the oil with blotting sheets as it just removes the foundation. I applied this foundation with a damp beauty blender and used the matching primer underneath and powder on top. It looked and felt alright just after application but I work 12 hour shifts and it just does not last and about a third of the way through it looks terrible. I did like the packaging of this product.

    I got a sample from the Shoppers Drug Mart the colour that was given to me was lighter shade then my skin. The product is lightweight but looked cakey and I got dry patches I tried it with and without a primer.

    For girls with fair skin (like myself), I found that this foundation was very heavy and looked caked on in certain lighting. The price is good for a drugstore foundation, but the quality of it on is very poor. It works well if you're just using it as a concealer on small blemishes as I do know, but when using it all over your face as an everyday foundation, it lacks nice coverage. If you're skin is dry as well, this foundation really shows the problem areas on your face and make it look worse instead of covering.

    This stuff went on my face like paste. It wasn't a great match for my skin type, and seemed to coat my skin. It wasn't a good look!

    This was way too think for me, it went on cakey, and the more you rub in the worse. I could see it working for other skin tones, but not mine.

    I so badly wanted to love this foundation. It feels like it would be high quality and goes on really nicely. It stays matte longer than other foundations for me, but it's the colour. It oxidizes so quickly and my face looks oranage within a couple of hours. It was actually embarrassing because I was out when it happened and I suddenly looked like I had a self tanner turn very very bad.
