Ideal make-up when you are on the go
This makeup is very different than any other I have used in terms of how it is stored and applied; however, I really, really like it.<br />If you are someone who travels or likes to touch up your foundation throughout the day, this might well be the perfect makeup for you.<br />It comes in a very well designed compact that holds the liquid foundation in a sponge in its own closed compartment.<br />The applicator sponge sits atop the cover to that compartment, so the entire thing is spill proof and well protected.<br /><br />Applying the makeup I found that it blended very well using the included applicator sponge.<br />The coverage level is medium, evening out skin tone and obscuring imperfections, but not covering major discoloration.<br />Put another way, if you have a mole or blemish you really want to cover up, you would probably still want to use a spot corrector.<br /><br />The foundation itself has a matte finish with a nice feel.<br />I've found I can wear it on its own or with a powder finish.<br /><br />Color matches are always tricky, particularly online; however, I managed to get a pretty great one.<br />Unless I have been getting a lot of sun, my skin is pretty pale.<br />I'm basically one step up from ivory skin, which this Beige Color blended with extremely well.<br /><br />To show how well it blends and how matte the finish is, I applied it onto one half of my inner forearm, then took photos in two different light settings.<br />In the photos, the bottom half of my forearm has the foundation on it, but it leaves almost no line and no shine.<br /><br />As far as staying power is concerned, I would rate this is above average.<br />It stayed on well for me all day when I was not sweating, but would come off a little on anything that directly rubbed against my skin.<br />I also found this to be a gentle foundation that did not irritate my skin.<br /><br />I can happily recommend this foundation compact.<br />I was truly pleased with both the design of the dispenser, which makes it perfectly portable, and with the performance of the makeup itself.
