lauramercier Candle Glow Foundation [Cashew]

Among the three foundations (Estee Lauder Double Wear, NARS Sheer Glow, and this product), I choose to use this one on a daily basis. Laura is the most moisturizing and lightweight. After cleansing, it can be completely removed with a mild foaming cleanser in two washes. The best part is that it doesn't cause any breakouts.

At first, the scent was a bit... like a stale smell. I went back to the store and confirmed that this was the correct scent. It takes some getting used to, but at first I was surprised, thinking it had gone bad. While it's lightweight, the coverage is not great. Among the three foundations I have, this one has the lowest coverage and doesn't adhere as well, so there is some transfer.

For 'healthy makeup'? I mainly use this when I just want to lightly even out my skin tone and let my natural skin show through. When my skin is in good condition, just applying this gives a subtle glow and a natural, 'bare skin' look, so it's the foundation I use the most out of the ones I have. As mentioned in the pros, the best part is that it doesn't cause any breakouts. Even with makeup on, my skin still feels like it can breathe.

🙂 My skin type is... - Combination / Sensitive - Slightly enlarged pores / Mild redness - Skin tone between 21.5 ~ 22 - Prefer a natural expression without a clear demarcation between the face and neck I went to the store and tested it before purchasing... Due to the store lighting, I made a mistake in color selection... I was satisfied with the natural expression in the store and bought it, but when I got home, it was darker than my skin tone... ㅜㅜ I'm currently using it by mixing it with the lighter and brighter foundations like the Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation in B10 or other luminous foundations. This foundation is very thinly and closely adhered... It's the thinnest formula among the foundations I have. Let me describe the experience of using it alone. The moment you apply it, it adheres quickly... It adheres very thinly and creates a very natural skin expression... Although the coverage is not excellent due to the thin application, I don't have many blemishes, so I don't need to use a concealer... The store staff emphasized that it creates a "no-makeup" look with healthy skin... The application is smooth, so layering doesn't cause any patchiness... Those who want more coverage can layer it to increase the coverage... The longevity is not bad either... There seems to be a slight darkening... The deterioration is also not bad... Although it's a matte type that gives a radiant finish, I don't feel any radiance in this dry season... It finishes with a matte and velvety texture... It's not a luminous foundation. People with great skin might be even more satisfied than me... The Cashe color seems a bit dark for those in the 22 shade range... Those with a 23 skin tone can likely apply it more naturally.

The downside is that the number of stores is too small compared to the brand's fame and marketing.

The foundation spreads quickly and adheres well as soon as it's applied... When applying makeup, avoid distractions... Focus on spreading it quickly and evenly...^^ The store recommended a sponge specifically for this foundation, but... When I tested it, I didn't particularly feel it was any better... A flat brush applies it more moisturized than the sponge.. If you want to use a sponge, the Espoir sponge might work better for better application.
