I was on the hunt for a foundation which wasn't heavy but had good coverage, after extensive research I ended up with this!
Pros: as advertised - lightweight, applies nicely without looking caked on, awesome range of shade - ending .0 = yellow tones, ending .5 = cool tones. Pump bottle looks very sleek
Cons: zero oil control, I am shiny after an hr :( the stay power is not good, it's smells rather chemically but does fade once applied. I noticed a lot of product is escaping from around the pump lid, maybe a fault in the packaging.
Other things to note, this is a very runny foundation. It's not really buildable as it dries really quickly so applying another layer is a bit difficult - it would be a great summer foundation as it looks very natural after one application provided you won't be out all day. It highlights dry patches, not really suited for dry skin. I believe this will look good on people with normal skin who need light coverage.
Hmmm all I can say is that it is ok... doesn't really do much for me
I'm still on that search for the perfect foundation and even though I have found a couple of great ones I can't seem to be satisified so this prompted the purchase of the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition after seeing it be used on one of my favourite YouTubers.
As always when I am unable to get my hands on a sample prior to purchase I settled for the lightest shade that they create, being super pale does have some benefits there and 9 out of 10 times the shade is spot on or close enough.
The design of the packaging is cute and chic all at the same time in a chunky, thick rounded cylinder tube that seems to have the dull thud when tinked of clear acrylic rather than glass (bonus when travelling!!) with a gunmetal steel effect pump and lid that snaps firmly in place so you can be secure in the fact that should you take it with your it isn't going to dislodge and make a mess by discharging in your bag. The pump is brilliant as you can take a little out to cover your face without over spilling too much and then wasting it. The formula is a nice even toned liquid that feels cool and light, it blends seamlessly with the use of both a flat top kabuki foundation brush and a dampen beautyblender type sponge. It doesn't settle too quickly so you have time to blend this foundation into your skin for a flawless look, it seems to warm to your skin allowing you to work precisely with it to get into the correct areas without leaving streaks or buffing blotches.
This foundation does give your skin a weightless coverage without skimping on the full coverage. It settles onto your skin and once blended doesn't move about or slip off of my face, I do use a matte primer underneath on the oily areas of my skin but even so with this sometimes foundation still manages to sink into my pores or becomes diluted down by the oils and can appear patching half way through the day, with this particular foundation these problems didn't arise at all. The only issue was that by 3pm I have a soft sheen across my cheek and forehead but that is probably down to the primer being at fault and my own skin, not the foundation.
I would be happy to say that this is one of my top 5 foundations and will be repurchasing when I run out, which may be some time as a little goes a long way and you get a decent amount for your money too.
