Do NOT Recommend (Negative Stars)

I have been on the hunt for a new foundation - something that works well with my combination skin, is a solid colour match, that blends well and can be layered for more coverage if/as needed. I am really starting for the first time ever (in my early 30's) to be more and more interested in makeup techniques. But first, the basics - which for me - is foundation.

This foundation said all the right things. Great for sensitive skin. Hey, they even say "Make up that's good for you". AND they call the product "Flawless Liquid Foundation". So here's how my journey started and ended after giving it several attempts.

Went to Beauty Boutique. Browsed allll the options. Found this. Excited! Looked at colours. Fell in love with W4 soft sand. Checked it. Double checked it with a "beauty advisor". We agreed. Felt nice when testing in store, but was just one small spot. Believed the packaging and claims. Went home, went to bed excited for my morning routine.

This is where it fell apart.
Showered. Cleansed. Primed. Applied foundation with blending sponge. When trying to bounce the product on, found that it was TAKING OFF the product that was dry while adding more. Ok. Stop, reset... What could be happening. Grabbed my fave Neutrogena wipe to start over. SKIPPED the primer thinking maybe they weren't compatible. Same thing happened. Ok. Apply with brush instead! Aha! Perhaps this is better. Attempted... attempted... Clock ticking. Settled with what I was able to achieve. Set with powder. Out the door.

Lived with it for the day. The saving grace was that the colour was right (even tho it did dry about 1-2 shades DARKER than I thought... thanks oxidization).

Attempt 2: Smart ol' me made attempt 2 at night after work when the clock wasn't ticking... Still no luck. Patchy product literally coming off while trying to apply it.

Attempt 3: Next morning routine. Applied it once. No luck. AT ALL. Again, had no other option but to just cover the mess of foundation with some powder and head to the office.

I'm done. It's going back. I'll also mention that after this debacle I looked for reviews on YouTube and SO MANY PEOPLE SAY the SAME thing.

Save yourself the hassle. Thankfully Shoppers has a 30 day return policy. This baby is going back. Two serious thumbs down.
