I tried a tester on my hand, though in a different colour as they didn’t have mine. Yes, hands are differen’t colour to your face anyway, but you have no idea how long those testers have been sitting in there, and how many airborne germs are in there, waiting to ruin your face. The colour might not be right, but don’t use testers on your face, unless they just put out a fresh one. If you’re unsure of what shade would suit you, kindly ask shop staff to open a new one. It is not worth the damage to your face, even if it seems good. And of course, if it looks filthy and icky… well we all know testers get this way, but like you don’t want to touch it? Then don’t touch it! The tester worked well on my hand, despite being a differen’t shade, bit darker, it was roughly the same colour as my hand, as my hands are darker than my face. So it worked out. It blended, the coverage seemed pretty decent, so I decided to grab myself one in my shade. Rose Ivory.
I got it home and couldn’t wait to try it out. HUGE disaster. The coverage? Horrific. No amount of attempting to blend could get rid of the streakyness and it just *sat* on top of my skin. “Matches the colour and texture of your skin” the bottle says.
No. Whatever colour is in the bottle, comes out of the bottle. It does not blend, it does not change. Super blendable perfecting foundation, my ass!
Texture? Oh yes! It definatley matches the texture of your skin! If you have any mild lines, it sure does make sure to keep that all in tact and show them off! If you have dry skin, or porus looking skin, it makes sure to show that off, too! You only need to use a little bit to make yourself look like a caked up clown!
But hey, on the flipside, it can give me smoother looking hands ;)
Seriously. Nothing good about this foundation. High price, low quality!
Would I recommend it to a friend? If they wanted to experiment with setting make up on fire, maybe.
