I bought this foundation a little over two months ago and I have to say, I kind of regret it. It's not that it's a terribly disgusting product or anything but it's just not for me. I purchased it because several of the beauty gurus on youtube were raving about this as a concealer and I guess it works ok for that but it's not my favorite. I find it takes a lot of time to use and it doesn't look natural at all. Also, the color is way too light for me and the shade range is really limited. It creases terribly under my eyes making me look more tired than if I had nothing on at all. It can tend to make me look oily and transfers really easily. There are a few things that I do like about it though. If I want to take the time to mix it with a darker concealer (MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW25) and apply it like Lisa Eldridge does in her Acne Covering Makeup video, the end result is pretty nice. It does not look natural like it does on the model in the video and it really only lasts for an hour but for that hour, my skin looks flawless.
Even if I use the tiniest drop of this, I end up wasting a lot. I have not used this as an all over foundation because I have enough of an issue with the thinnest of foundations looking caky let alone one as thick as this. I'm probably just going to throw this in my kit to use on super pale brides with normal skin. Not that I'll even use this up but I probably would not repurchase.

Really interesting because I too have seen a number of raves about this, I think Juicy Tuesday swears by it if I'm not mistaken. I was going to try it as a concealer but I think it sounds way too heavy for me..I'm in the Dream Smooth mousse concealer club so can you imagine?!
ReplyDeleteIt's not bad stuff but it's just too much work. As much as I like putting on makeup, I don't want to spend 20 minutes on spot concealing to have the concealer be as noticeable as it is.
