Description:

"Our fresh foundation has an anti-shine core.  Its' ultra-light formula is enriched with powders to instantly absorb excess oil.  Controls shine for a natural-looking, flawless finish.  Our first 2-in-1 foundation stick with anti-shine core goes on effortlessly to reveal flawless, lightweight coverage.  Easy to use and perfect for the on-the-go-touch ups."

Review:

So I have oily-combination skin and love trying out new base makeups that claim to keep me shine free all day especially on the T-zone area.  While I'm not really a foundation "stick" person, I thought I'd give this a go anyway due to the small packaging and easy to travel with/carry around design.

First thing I noticed with this foundation stick is that this has a more creamy texture compared to other stick foundations where they can be harder and definitely requires blending with fingers as body temperature helps to 'melt' the foundation making it easier to blend.  Due to the more creamy texture, I can easily blend with a brush which is the method I prefer!

This foundation stick gives a sheer to light/medium coverage - though I would discourage layering it on to try and create a higher coverage as it will look cakey.  Even though it did initially keep me shine free, it doesn't last as long as other matifying foundations.  This may be due to it's sheerer coverage where less powder is deposited so less powder to absorb the oils.  However, it still did a pretty good job lasting around 3-5 hours depending what sort of day I've had.  This also isn't an extremely long wearing foundation, it starts to fad around the same time it stops keeping my oils away, so definitely requires touching up.

Some positives that I've noticed is that it feels soooo lightweight you can barely feel it on your skin, and even though coverage isn't that high, it does even out my skin tone giving me a natural looking finish.

The 2 layer system seems a bit gimmicky to me and shade selection (6 shades available) leaves a lot to be desired, however, overall, this is a good foundation that I would recommend especially for those that just wants a light foundation to even out skin tone and not require a lot of coverage.  Even though this is an anti-shine foundation, I think it's more suited for the oily/combination skin type than those with really oily skin.

Price: £8.99

Description:

"The Mat Velvet + is a matifying liquid foundation that conceals skin imperfections, evens out the complexion and matifies with a non-oily powdery finish.  The result is flawless and lasts for hours long.  Its' smooth, fluid texture is very stable, water-resistant and long-lasting.  While it has a good coverage, it is also easy to apply.  The end result can be fitted to your needs.  Applied lightly, Mat Velvet+ provides a natural, matte look to the complexion.  Using several layers to help conceal blemishes creates a supple and elastic velvety finish.  This new oil-free and non comedogenic formula is suited to sensitive skins."

Review:

So, I bought this when I visited IMATS London, and have used it constantly on and off since then.  This is definitely one of my favourite high end foundations.

First of all, I love the packaging, it may not be to everyones taste and a few may even think the packaging should be more pleasing to the eye considering the price of the foundation, however, too me, it screams light, easy to travel, doesn't use up much room and easy to control the flow of foundation.  With things like foundation where if I go away I definitely have to take, practicality over-rides beautiful glass bottle all the time!

Next, the actual foundation.  This has a very watery consistency and is one of those that requires shaking before use.  At first, because of the light consistency, I thought it would be a light coverage foundation.  However, it definitely a medium coverage foundation that can be easily sheered down with a damp brush/sponge or built up to a medium-full coverage.  It gives a mat velvet finish, not powdery looking at all, though it may seem powdery when first applied - give it a couple of minutes to settle and the powdery look disappears leaving a natural glow look.  I have built up this foundation before to a higher coverage and noticed it still has a nice natural look and not cakey or thick at all.

This foundation does last a very long time, I'd say a good 10+ hours, and even though it doesn't keep all my oils from coming through, I look shiny at the most and never greasy.  Saying that, after blotting away any unwanted shine with blotting tissue, the foundation still looks perfect underneath, so not touch up needed!  A final positive is that because of the watery consistency of this foundation, when applied, it feels so light on my skin I barely notice it there - I don't feel like the foundation is suffocating me!

So overall, I'd definitely recommend this foundation, especially for those with oilier skin types.  Yes the price is a little steep, but I do believe the price tag reflects the quality of the product!

Price: £29.50 for 30ml
