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, nothing but skincare.

Primer on the one side of the face.

Foundation applied using a dampened Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, it is not full coverage but I like how it looks.

Contoured my face using my Wander Beauty Bronzer and Zoeva 109 Luxe Face Paint.

Makeup all done.

7pm: I like how this foundation has worn down, it looks amazing.
