Before starting be warned this is more a rant than a rave. This foundation did not impress me even though contradictory to my above statement, I actually had been using it for years. But in my defense, it was in the days before I found Clinique or Lancome or even Rimmel or Bourjois. I know this foundation has a huge cult following and it is often stated to be a dupe of Makeup Forever HD foundation which I have never tried. But if it is then I'm not inclined to try it.
Let’s see about the pros:
Shade 180 Sand Beige
- It has good coverage. I still need concealer for blemishes and under eye circles.
- Its smell is not unpleasant, though its not entirely pleasant either, I don’t have an issue with it. To me its like a bit soapy sort of and it stays on for quite some time.
- It is also long lasting, easily lasts the day. But I do notice some oil breaking through after a few hours.
- It has soft flex, which is supposed to be something good for the skin I am guessing and an SPF of 6.
- It comes in a wide variety of shades from pale to very dark.
So it seems to be pretty good right? But…
