Review (5/5): 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.
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.
It comes in a very well designed compact that holds the liquid foundation in a sponge in its own closed compartment.
The applicator sponge sits atop the cover to that compartment, so the entire thing is spill proof and well protected.
Applying the makeup I found that it blended very well using the included applicator sponge.
The coverage level is medium, evening out skin tone and obscuring imperfections, but not covering major discoloration.
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.
The foundation itself has a matte finish with a nice feel.
I've found I can wear it on its own or with a powder finish.
Color matches are always tricky, particularly online; however, I managed to get a pretty great one.
Unless I have been getting a lot of sun, my skin is pretty pale.
I'm basically one step up from ivory skin, which this Beige Color blended with extremely well.
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.
In the photos, the bottom half of my forearm has the foundation on it, but it leaves almost no line and no shine.
As far as staying power is concerned, I would rate this is above average.
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.
I also found this to be a gentle foundation that did not irritate my skin.
I can happily recommend this foundation compact.
I was truly pleased with both the design of the dispenser, which makes it perfectly portable, and with the performance of the makeup itself.
