I’m going crazy with foundations these days! I think this happens with me every fall – I feel a need to discover something that’s going to make my face look amaaaazing.
Anyway, I’ve been dying to try this foundation since it came out, and I finally bit the bullet. Everything about it was calling to me: the name, the gorg packaging, the idea that my skin could look amazing but that it wouldn’t look like foundation… I had to try it.
The pump dispenser is great and a little bit goes a long way – one pump was enough for my whole face, and I could just use my fingers to easily spread this foundation.
The foundation does apply really nicely. It feels weightless, blends in seamlessly, and the colour selection is amazing. It comes in warm and cool shades and there’s enough of a selection that I was able to match my skin exactly.
It looks great, has medium buildable (but also sheer-able) coverage, and photographs well, but I have to say that if you have any uneven-ness, this just emphasizes it.
The finish is glowy but not dewy. It holds up on oily skin, although it doesn’t totally absorb oil throughout the day. It is a natural finish foundation – yes, it looks like your own skin.
And guess what?
Of course, it just doesn’t work for my skin. I think it’s the high silicone content, or maybe just a combo of ingredients, but this foundation almost over-hydrated my skin. I didn’t have break-outs but just little bumps that I sometimes get when I use too much moisturizer.
Try before you buy is my advice.
Find it at Sephora or Murale for $26.
