Holy Grail
This was my first night cream. I really didn't believe there was a difference between regular moisturizers and sleeping facials until I purchased this, used it all up and tried to replace it with an expensive brand. My face was not happy and it showed. My uneven skintone returned, dark spots from acne seemed to never diminish, and my brighter, more luminous skin was missing in action. I can't recall how long it took for my face to see results the first time around, but I counted each day after I came running back to KORRES. After 10 days, my skin was back to its radiant, plump and even self. I love it!
My Holy Grail!!!
I might have my shade wrong but I've been using this product for many years and can't find anything that really compares to it. I do like NARS Sheer Matte Foundation but it doesn't make me feel as naturally beautiful and flawless like studio fix. It covers my little imperfections and is buildable...so I can wear a little for daytime and more for a night on the town look. I have oily, acne-prone skin but I take care of it very well and this only enhances the look that MAC Studio Fix gives me. I don't see myself switching anytime soon.
Not impressed!
I've seen tons of people try this on in store and love it. I heard reviews that rave about how great it is. I've seen great transformations with other people, however for me it just doesn't work. It's very unnatural looking. It covers the small acne scars I have but makes that part of the skin look darker. It makes me very oily and my pores look bigger than they look with no makeup. Even my best friend kept looking at me funny as if I were wearing a full clown face of makeup. Returning...sticking to my MAC Studio Fix.
It's the Best!
I never used concealer but tried this in a Sephora and had to buy it. It goes on so well and covers without any creases or caked look. Possible to use with liquid, creme or pressed foundation. It's even great to use alone just to cover up blemishes when you don't feel for a full face of makeup.
Perfect for oily, acne prone skin!
Lately I've my skin has been more oily than its usual combination and so I went looking for a cleanser that helped decrease that since I was breaking out on my cheeks. I loved Shiseido's Lucent and Ibuki line so I was pleased to hear about Pureness. I was not disappointed! It doesn't over dry my skin or make it feel tight at all. I've been using it for weeks now and it leaves my face squeaky clean, which I like because my pores seem smaller and my skin care products absorb better into my skin.
Just wanted to also say I use Ole Henriksen products after I wash my face (vitamin C oil, eye lift gel, and sheer transformation) then end with a Shiseido night cream or SPF day cream. I use my Mia2 to cleanse my face and my face seems to be in it's best condition with this routine.
A palette that's truly NAKED!
I was never fond of the original or the second Naked palettes...they didn't seem "naked" to me because of my complexion. Naked 3, in my opinion, put the other palettes to shame. It's the only palette that is truly versatile. There isn't a look that you can't achieve with this palette and I'm so glad that it's all new colors. Very pigmented and only a few have fallout when applying. Also love the double-ended brush it comes with. This is a must have or must try.
Great for a night out!
The colors are very pigmented and even though there are only 7 shades, they blend really well so that you can create many different looks. The reason why I gave it only four stars is because of the fall out and the lack of matte shades for transition. Other than that it's a great product. It's expensive but all good things are.
