When I first opened the foundation I noticed that there was a very faint scent to it but nothing offensive and it went away very quickly. As normal, I applied a primer to my face then I applied the foundation with my sponge. I noticed right away that it gave me sheer coverage on my face, I then tried to build it up a little on my cheeks and chin (to cover a little redness) and I noticed right away that it didn’t look nice after I built it up. I tried to put a little powder over it and it did not look good at all. Throughout the day the skin on my jaw started to feel dry and looked really cakey. By the end of the day, the skin on my jaw felt parched and looked bad.
I’ve noticed that with this foundation if you set it, it doesn’t look good. Every time I tried to set it with a setting powder (I used different ones) it didn’t look good. I finally gave up using a setting powder and I just used a primer and the foundation, and it looked nice on my skin. At the end of every day including the ones I used setting powder, the foundation still felt tacky, but my skin looked dewy. I tried building it up a few times and it still didn’t look good so I gave up on that also. On the days that I just used one layer of foundation and I didn’t set it, my face looked pretty good. It did blur my skin in some places and gave me an overall dewy look but it did not even out my skin tone or keep my dry skin as hydrated as I would have like. I did notice though that this foundation fit my skin tone pretty well, and did not oxidize at all.
I am on the fence with this foundation, I really wanted to love it but I like my foundations to have more coverage and not dry my skin out. I think that this would be a good foundation it you just want a natural look, which I believe is what is was made for. I will have to try it out again in the summer time to see if it works better with my skin.
