Review (4/5): Got a perfect color match with decent coverage
I included a half make-up, half naked skin photo, taken with my phones portrait filter off, to give you some sense of how this foundation looks.
I was fortunate in that the time I spent studying the shades on the product page paid off with a pretty spot on color match for my skin, which had me very excited.
Regarding how the make-up went on, I actually found I got better results applying it with my finger than I did with the included make-up sponge.
I know using a sponge is better for your skin, but I found it just kept blending the foundation right off my face.
Whether that was a result of how I applied it, the foundation itself, and/or the sponge is up for debate.
Since you get two sponges included with the two bottles of make-up, you can experiment and decide what application method works best for you.
Side note, this is way too thick to be air brushed on and can't be diluted, so if you use an airbrush, this foundation probably isn't for you.
Regarding how the foundation looked and felt, I would say, standard.
This reminded me of pretty much every good quality foundation I have ever tried.
- It looks best after you first put it on
- It covers many, but not all marks and discoloration
- As the end of the day approaches, it starts to look "fatigued"
- It will wipe off on hands, clothing, etc... if you rub your face
- You need to put some effort into getting all traces of the foundation cleaned off at the end of the day
- For best results, you'll probably want to pair it with a spot concealer and finishing powder
Overall, this is a solid foundation that performs well, but is not exceptional.
If you get a good match to your skin tone like I did, I suspect you will be very pleased with this make-up set.
In the end, I would definitely recommend this, so long as you understand this is not the ultimate fix all your problems, find your prince, do your taxes, and make you smarter miracle in a bottle all foundations claim to be, but instead, a quality make-up that will give you good coverage.
