83% OF CHICKS DIG IT
i'm not generally a foundation wearer but i was interested to try this foundation because i had heard positive things about it and was lucky enough to receive it through the chick advisor product review club. although i haven't used it very long, and had become a mineral makeup convert, my first impression was a good one. it is very light and sheer - which is important to me since i hate the feeling of wearing a 'mask' - and did seem to make my pores appear less noticeable in certain areas. i think i would appreciate its coverage even more in the cooler months when my skin isn't as tanned (i would wear it more often in the winter, for example) but i did like what it did for my skin. other things i liked were the way it blended easily and gave my complexion a bit of a glow. all in all, i would say this product is very good (coming from someone who doesn't wear it everyday) and i would consider buying it in the future.
I loved how this was easy to apply and it really evened out my skin tone! it feels very light like a tinted moisturizer! It looks just as natural as it feels too which is great! Definitely recommend!!
I tried to like this product. I really did.
While the foundation did a fairly good job of evening out my skin tone and minimizing my pores, I didn't like the way it applied. When I used my fingertips, it appeared streaky. It went on much better with a foundation brush. But, once it was on, I could feel it for the first few hours. I'm not sure if that's what it took for me to get used to it each day, or if that's how long it takes the product to "set". It also seemed to come off easily. If I ever touched my face during the day I would have product transfer to my hands.
So all in all, it wasn't for me.
PRO's
this is a good product. it gives a light powdery finish. it light weight and gives a light coverage. this blended with my skin very well and gives off an even tone. also after applying this product on, i felt like i wasn't wearing any (which i like lol).
CON's
something i didn't like about this product was that when i touched my face to see how it felt i found that it had a (VERY) little sticky feeling/oily (i'm not sure how to explain it ). so i just ended up putting a finishing powder over it and i really liked doing that then just the foundation by itself. also i have combination skin and i found that (during hot weather anyway) that the area around my nose feels really oily.
RECOMMENDATIONS
i would recommend this product to someone who is looking for a light coverage. Also this is a good product for someone who has a normal skin type (dry would work too. i just suggest applying a moisturizer before applying the foundation.).
OVERALL,
This is a really good product for a good price and i think it is worth a try! every skin type is different, so dont be scared to give it a try you might like it (:
This is a great foundation. It was a bit difficult to match to my skin tone, so I chose a shade a little bit darker than my normal skin colour. It will work perfectly in the summer when I'm just a little bit more tan!
This foundation applies really easily - I love the pump. No mess. It goes on really smooth - almost more like powder than liquid. It feels really silky and smooth, and has a nice finish. Once applied, it really did a good job evening out my skin tone, and made my skin look soft and powdery (but not too cakey or mask-like).
After applying, I didn't notice I was wearing the foundation. It lasted for hours, and I didn't need to add powder later to cover up oil or shine.
This is a great foundation for people that hate feeling like they're wearing makeup - it's very light, but effective.
I'm not normally a foundation (liquid or otherwise) type of girl but decided to give this a try. I had a tough time matching my skin tone but eventually settled for something a little lighter than normal and strategically blended in some bronzer and blush. I found the foundation to be really light and airy. It was super easy to apply with a wet sponge. I found the coverage was a lot better than the average liquid foundation - the slightly thicker formula really went a long way. I was also really impressed that the matte finish lasted the entire day as I tend to have a case of "the oilies" in my T-Zone by the end of the day. I would recommend this product IF you can find a shade that matches your skin tone.
This foundation is very lightweight. Unlike some heavy matte foundations on the market today, this "heavenly" mousse product easily glided on my face without weighing imy face down. The result - sheer application, moderate coverage and breathe-easy skin! This was especially important to me as I am an avid user of matte products but never liked the heaviness of wearing so much makeup.
The mousse, soft in touch and easily blendable, covered the uneveness of my complexion (redness, and most of my freckles) and by the end of the day, it still looked fresh! I chose the shade Nude as there wasn't a tester in the store, and wow, did it match perfectly - what you see in the bottle is pretty much what to expect in the application process.
The pump was easy to use (no clumping) and 1.5 of a pump was good enough for face coverage. I even tried it with a primer and Maybelline powder right after and it was like being face ready for a rolling camera!
I definitely recommend this product for the sensitive skin gals out there (I did not break out once) and for those who like the coverage sans the masked feeling.
Enjoy!
I loved this foundation! I will review it in a few sections:
Application: 3.5/5. This foundation was easy to spread on with my fingers but NOT with a brush. So I would suggest using your fingers to get it blended in the best. There were no streaks when I used my fingers but with a brush I noticed a lot of streaky marks.
Appearance: 4/5. It made my skin look really smooth and gave me a slight sunglow look, which was nice. Up close, it was noticeable that I was wearing foundation but not as noticeable as some other brands.
Wearability: 5/5. I can barely notice that I'm wearing anything at all, it makes me feel like I have no makeup on which is always a bonus. Also, this stuff really lasts a long time! I even tested it to the max one day when I applied it in the morning and went to work all day and then went to the gym after. Even after the gym, the foundation was still looking great! I was really surprised at this and would say it was probably the best part of the foundation.
Overall, I would recommend this foundation to anyone and will probably continue to buy it in the future. It is certainly well-worth the money!
Wow this made my skin look so natural and calmed down all of my redness and really evened out my skin tone. I tried the Porcelain Ivory as I'm paler than pale lol and it matched perfectly. I couldn't feel it on my face and it didn't look greasy. I didn't really examine my poors but unlike some other foundations I didn't notice them after applying. It was very easy to applyas it went on very smooth and even.
I am not an avid foundation wearer - I usually just use strategically placed concealer and a bit of powder. However, I tried this out and really liked it!
It was really sheer so it didn't feel heavy or like I was "wearing a mask." One pump of the product was more than enough to cover my face and it blended in really well with my skin tone. I have a bit of a red undertone and it evened out my complexion. I liked it a lot, and I will continue to wear it. I could barely tell I was wearing makeup, and it gave me the coverage I wanted - natural and light! I give this two thumbs up!
