Review (5/5): For all my fellow porcelain-skinned people!!!
This product is absolutely fantastic. I have the kind of fair skin that is so pale that I have LITERALLY never found a foundation (drugstore or high end) that has a color light enough for me. I have the kind of fair skin that allows me to artificially color my hair a level 8 copper reddish blonde and people think it's my natural hair color. The kind of skin that is so white that I joke about being transparent. Ok. You get the point.
So anyway, I researched forever to try to figure out how to lighten up my foundation and found this product. I am currently using Urban Decay's Naked Skin foundation (another silicone-based product) in 0.5 (their lightest shade). The Zero Minus blends in perfectly and I apply the concoction on prepped (moisturizer and MOM on my T-zone) and primed (Monistat Anti-Chafe Gel) skin with my Beauty Blender and set it with Nars's light reflecting loose setting powder all over and Tarte's Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay finishing powder on my T-zone (I have extreme combination skin). I set it with MUFE's Mist and Fix setting spray. It lasts ALL DAY and BONUS: it doesn't look like a mask because it's actually the right color!!!
I was having some issues in the beginning with it separating on my skin after about an hour (mostly on my T-zone), but it hasn't been doing this since I changed setting powders (originally, I was using Too Faced's Prepped and Primed, which is a fine product that I love, but on my skin it doesn't seem compatible with my foundation when I add Zero Minus). Like other silicone-based products, this gives a semi-matte finish that is very natural looking.
So what are you waiting for!? If you're so white that you make a polar bear jealous, buy this product! It is high quality, long-lasting, and blends beautifully with other silicone-based foundations. It gives a natural-looking finish and helps eliminate the dreaded line of demarcation that we fair people face with foundation. I will never be without this product again!!
