Before we start I use the Benefit POREfessional on the right side of my face (left in the picture). I use this primer when I have a long day so thought I would see how it works with and without primer. Also the only other face product I use is a bronzer to contour, I don’t want to use any concealer or powders that might effect the way the foundation sits and the end review will be a full face.


Sponge

Every time I do a first impression or review of a foundation I get a brand new Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge that I went.

Bare face just skincare, I am really red.

Primer on one side, the side with primer looks more smooth and toned down.

Foundation applied and I really don't like it, it is patchy and I kept trying to blend but it just moved the foundation around even more.

Contoured using my Benefit Hoola bronzer.

Makeup all done, the foundation is so patchy, like you can see on my nose and cheeks.

4:15pm: patchy and dry looking plus creasing.

6pm: really dry looking, patchy, really bad.


Date Tried: Tuesday 19th April 2022

Brush

Every time I do a first impressions or review of a foundation I use a clean Morphe M6 Flat Buffer Foundation brush.

Nothing on my skin when it comes to makeup, just skincare.

Primed just one side of the face.

Foundation applied using my foundation brush.

Contoured using my Benefit Hoola bronzer.

Makeup all done.

5pm: my skin feels dry, the foundation goes into the creases.

8:15pm: my skin is really shiny, the foundation clumps up into the creases and dry patches.


Date Tried: Friday 22nd April 2022

Fingers

Bare face, just skincare.

Primed just one side and the side with the prime has toned down the shine from my skincare.

Foundation applied with my fingers and I really didn't like it, I didn't continue because of how patchy and disgusting it looked.


Date Tried: Monday 25th April 2022

Full Face

Bare face.

Primed the full face.

Foundation applied using the foundation brush because I felt that was the best way so far.

Concealer applied was Collection Lasting Perfection in 0 Extra Fair and blended it in my Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush.

Used my Benefit Hoola bronzer to contour.

Blush time, I generally don't do blush because I am quite red as it is but I used Beautaniq Beauty Blusher in Darling Dahlia.

Highlighter I used was CYO Bronzing & Highlighting Palette in Lost in Space.

Makeup all done, I am not keen on this look.

7:30pm: It seems to clump to dry patches, creases and any fine lines.


Date Tried: Tuesday 26th April 2022


I am not sure this foundation is suitable for my skin, I have quite dry skin and the foundation clings to those areas. I am going to keep giving it ago and maybe you will see it in a favourites blog post or a revisit blog post.
