I can make it work by applying it really thickly, but then it just ends up caking and takes a long time to cleanse, and my skin ends up looking dull. So I thought I'd try using a foundation that makes my skin look good. Since perfection is impossible, I wanted to find a foundation that complements my skin. 🌼Coverage - Medium to High / It covers quite well. Just true to the essence of foundation. And it covers beautifully. It gives a natural glow to the skin while semi-matte, so the bumps and unevenness are barely noticeable. 🌼Adhesion - High / This foundation seems just right for my oily skin. Matte foundations were hard for me to use because they made my skin feel dry, and dewy foundations would just break down unevenly with the oil, so I went through over 10 different ones before settling on this one. There's no transfer when I put my phone to my cheek, and it breaks down beautifully without getting oily. So I don't have to carry a touch-up cushion with me. I just bring a powder compact to blot the oil that comes through occasionally.
Cons🌼Your skin still needs a bit of moisture for the makeup to apply well. Otherwise, it will just cling. 🌼In that sense, it may be difficult for those with extremely dry skin to use. 🌼It can be a bit irritating to the skin. On days when my skin condition is poor, I feel like my skin hurts when I apply it. That's why I'm taking off one star.
Tip🌼Given how well it adheres, you need to spread it out quickly. 🌼Tools - A finishing sponge would be helpful. The main tool can be your fingers, a sponge, or a brush, but for me, applying it in sections on my face and then buffing it out with the Innisfree Water Drop Foundation worked best. I'm currently trying the Rom&nd brush, but having to keep feeding the foundation feels burdensome. 🌼It pairs well with the MAC Strobe Cream.
