Beauty Product Reviews
This stuff is amazing
I cannot live without this CC cream now. I can't believe how much I have fallen in love with this. This really is a foundation with all those skincare benefits. I have dry skin with pigmentation and this just glides over my skin so beautifully. It has a dewy but not too dewy finish, and looks great throughout the day. This has quickly become one of my HG products. The fact that it has anti-aging benefits and 50+ sun protection is a huge bonus, so this really is the whole package. This is great coverage and looks natural all day, I can see myself using this forever.
I wish this was better
I wanted to love this foundation so badly! I had heard it was beautiful on dry skin so couldn't wait to try it. When I first used it it was stunning, so glowy and beautiful. I thought I had found my HG foundation. The next time I tried it, it looked horrible, I had no idea what I had done wrong.
If you are going to wear this foundation, you need to really prep your skin. I needed a really moisturised base before applying this. You also need to shake the hell out of it before applying, because if not it will look patchy and awful. You also need to really work it into your skin and take your time with it otherwise it will sit on the top and look fake and splotchy. A beauty blender works much nicer than a brush with this as well. Also, be careful with the dropper applicator, I found my foundation leaked out the top and I was constantly cleaning the bottle despite always storing it upright and being very careful when opening and using.
In the end, this was too unpredictable for my skin and I couldn't reply on it to look the same every time. This may have just been my skin not liking it - other people seem to get along with it fine. When it came out right it looked amazing! But I have many other foundations that I prefer to this.
A beautiful staple foundation
This is a stunning foundation. It really does look amazing on the skin, natural, fresh and pretty. I am NC25ish and find 123 a workable match for me, however I would have liked a warmer option. I will probably purchase 143 for when I am more tanned. I would really like to see such a beautiful foundation available in more shades. I have nothing bad to say about the foundation itself, and whilst it may seem pricy, in comparison to Australian prices this is pretty comparable to many other brands. For comparison I have dry skin and this never makes me look cakey or emphasises my texture. I think people with dry to normal skin would love this, as well as those who want a natural everyday foundation that skims over texture and pores. Love it!
