Why are not more raving reviews of this foundation here?
After watching raving reviews from Ali Andreea on Youtube, Michele Wang and others I decided to give this foundation a try. One of my Sundays was filled with investigating on my proper skin tone, undertone and which shade I have to chose when no trial is possible. Apparently I am a light to medium with a warm undertone. A larger part of my skin is covered with Melasma, especially in summer time. I have a very classic T-zone situation - apart from that I consider my skin to be very normal. Not specially dry or in the need of tons of hydration. I am 45 and yes, there are wrinkles here and there. However, I like to have a glow to my skin, without appearing too shiny or god forbid: oily.
My first experience with the foundation: its formula is very runny. First I applied with my Sonia G. Face One brush - the next couple of times I used a beauty sponge. The result of the latter was more refined, almost airbrushed. It goes on smoothly and leaves a beautiful texture. For my liking not too matte, not too dewy. It really depends on your preference, what products you use before. I took a picture today, after wearing my make up 7 hours straight. After skincare I used the Armani Prima Primer for the T-zone only. I also tested the ByTerry CC Serum in Apricot Glow below the foundation. This was amazing but I had to re-apply powder after a couple of hours.
The scent is quite strong; I am surprised it is not mentioned anywhere. It fades after applying but first it was almost a killer. Now I am so happy I tried it despite the perfume.
The shade 300W Medium Fair perfectly matches my skin tone.
Clear buying recommendation!
