Let me just say straight away that the shade Stromboli (Medium 3) is my EXACT match. This is the first liquid foundation that matches my skintone perfectly. It's not too yellow like my MAC Studio Fix Fluid, or too neutral (almost pale) like my Revlon Colorstay, or too pink like my Diorskin Nude. It's somewhere in the middle between yellow and neutral. I have yet to swatch it so you're gonna have to wait (sorry!). I plan to use it for the next couple of weeks before I write a full review on it.
Eye makeup was done rather sloppily here but at least it was super vibrant! Haha.BASE

I imagine this would be perfect for everyday wear IF ONLY I didn't have any acne scars or discoloration at the moment. :( As the name implies, this foundation is pretty sheer. The finish is matte (not at all dewy or glowy) but I prefer it that way since my skin is oily to begin with. On me the foundation lasts about 4 hours before I notice some blotches on my nose and other dry areas. It's definitely not as long wearing as Diorskin Nude, which is too bad because they both are at the same price range.
What else? I think that's about it for now. I wore this foundation today from 2 to 8 pm and I only touch up my face two times throughout the day. So far I'm liking it.
Anybody's tried this foundation before? What do you think about it?
Good for you! So hard to find matching foundation. Your skin looks gorgeous.

Jadi kalo punya acne scars gimana dong? Gak nutup ya?
ReplyDeleteGirlie Blogger - You're right! It's sooo hard to find a matching foundation. I feel so lucky!
ReplyDeleteLin - Buildable kok foundation-nya, cuma ya kalo makenya lebih banyak jadi lebih keliatan cakey. Aku sendiri sih pakein concealer dulu bekas jerawatnya baru pake foundation ini :D
i love it just bought it a few days ago. i got Gobi which is a little bit to light for me *im NC20-25* but since it sheer it just look fine for me :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I love what you have on your cheeks!
ReplyDeleteChell - Yay! Glad to know that it works on you, too!

Jessy - Thanks! Yeah I have tried the MUFE HD foundation but unfortunately on my oily skin it slides off so fast. I didn't like it at all. Glad it works for you though :)
ReplyDeleteGreat review Fifi! I haven't tried the NARS foundation before but that's great you found a perfect skintone match - it can be pretty difficult to find the perfect match as you pointed out. Currently, I'm loving my Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundation. I do have to touch it up once during the day though but it feels soooo nice on my skin and the colour matches me perfectly. It beats any MAC foundation I'm trying to finish off now!
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant blue and purple eyeshadows you wore :)
wah! bagus tuh beneran!! =D
ReplyDeleteaku belum pernah coba nars sheer glow, but pretty happy ama my current foundation sih hehehe
