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.


Brush



Bare face, only skincare.



Primer on one side.



Foundation applied using my Morphe M444 brush, it looks quite matte and dry.



Contour with my favourite powder from NARS using a Zoeva brush.



Makeup all done, it is smoother on the side with foundation but still looks dry and matte.



20:49: the foundation looks better than it did when I applied it.


Date Tried: Tuesday 2nd April 2024


Sponge



Bare faced with just skincare.



Primer on one side.



Foundation applied with a sponge, it is matte.



Contoured with my favourite products.



Makeup all done, looks quite flawless.



17:08: It is really drying.


Date Tried: Sunday 14th April 2024


I am not sure about this foundation, it seemed a little to dry for my liking but as time goes on and my skin is better maybe it will be better.
