FIRST IMPRESSIONS: FARMASI VFX PRO Camera Ready Foundation

Before we begin, I just want to mention that I'm a FARMASI representative. I decided to try out a few of their products first before promoting them because I won’t promote or try to sell anything without testing it and truly loving it. I’ll be honest with you and let you know if I come across any issues.

I saw this product and saw they had a pale shade and had to test it out, I also have dry skin and wanted to see if this was okay to use.

HOW TO USE:

Apply foundation onto skin and blend with fingertips, foundation brush, or makeup sponge.

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 or freshly washed Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge or Beauty Blender that I went.

Just skincare on the face.

Primer on the one side, you can see my skin looks toned down when I wear this primer.

Foundation applied, I always start on the side without primer first.

Contoured with my NARS Paloma powder, Zoeva and Morphe brushes were used.

Makeup all done and I like the look of the foundation.

20:24: Around the nose it looks dry but I do think this is becuase I have a cold so constantly wiping it but otherwise the foundation looks amazing.

Date Tried: Monday 10th March 2025

Brush

Every time I do a first impressions or review of a foundation I use a clean Morphe M444 Foundation brush.

Bare faced.

Primer on the one side.

Foundation applied, I think I prefer the sponge application but it still looks good.

Contoured with my NARS Paloma powder, Zoeva and Morphe brushes were used.

Makeup all done.

18:58: My skin looks quite good, as the day when on my skin looked better.

Date Tried: Tuesday 11th March 2025

FARMASI Foundation Brush

I purchased the FARMASI foundation brush to try out with the foundation.

Bare faced, obviously skincare.

Primer on the one side.

Foundation applied, this brush is amazing, I think it is my new favourite foundation brush.

Contoured with my NARS Paloma powder, Zoeva and Morphe brushes were used.

Makeup all done and this foundation is looking good.

17:50: Apart from the nose being messed up because of the runny nose, the rest of the face looks amazing.

Date Tried: Wednesday 12th March 2025

I love this foundation, the fact that I was scared to use a matte foundation due to my skin being dry and matte foundations look and make my skin drier so for the fact this did the complete opposite was brilliant, I am also loving the FARMASI brush too.
