THE BEST POWDER FOUNDATION I'VE EVER TRIED

Рет қаралды 44,523

Ай бұрын

After using this for over a week I can say this is one of the best, if not THE BEST, powder foundations I've used.
The longevity (in terms of MATTE effect) are not amazing but the finish is so beautiful. Its amazing.
NOTE this does come as a refill - which drops the cost from £52 - £38.

The shade looks spot on! Gorgeous. I just bought it; I’ve got mature combo skin and live in a hot crazy humid climate; this foundation is blowing my mind. My skin looks airbrushed and it lasts in the Houston heat and humidity. To me, this is definitely worth the cost.

I love Jane Iredale thanks to you. Jane Iredale refill is .35oz for $46 as where Natasha Denona is .44oz for $39..... So Natasha Denona is much less. To purchase both with compacts ND is $55. and JI is $66. I'm going to purchase ND today. My powders tend to last me months and I mean 6 months, Jane Iredale pressed hit pan in 2 months. I still swear by Laura Geller Balance and Brighten, it's just gives light coverage so I usually wear a tint under it and I avoid liquids in the summer as I'm in a humid climate. Thanks for this awesome video 😊

I’m absolutely loving this foundation.I’m 53, combo skin, & after a really good moisturiser it looks amazing! I’ve even done a closeup with a 30x zoom mirror & it just looks fab! Tried it with multiple primers & it looks as good with them all 😊 Great product for travelling, no need for both foundation & powder. This is job done. Yes it’s not cheap but will definitely buy again 😊 highly recommended.

Aloha from Kauai🤙🏼I need powder foundation living in Hawaii cause of the humidity. I have been on the hunt for a new powder foundation. I’m in my 40’s and prefer the feeling of a powder foundation. I need something with a medium coverage. If I use liquid foundations,it feels to greasy on my skin. Maybe I should try Bare Minerals again cause of the SPF and my perfect shade is medium beige. I used to use BM’s when I was in my 20’s but now that I’m in my 40’s I worry about it emphasizing my fine lines. I love your channel and reviews on products. Mahalo Ke Akua🙏🏼

Ty! Great review from genuine artiste! I am so oily e in humid climate right now (holy guacamole!), not a fan of a heavy foundation my entire life. But love doing makeup on others. For mi, I like to use tiny amount of C-Loub le Baum de Teint e finish with a dusting of Sweed at night. I mean tiny dust. Love westman Atelier tint, can handle dots of that. Newest, truly love Guerlain le teint. It is matte, but glowy e at 63$ American, its a big bottle. Love the bumble bee bronzer powder e the lip oils also. Gorgeous. This is at night e I do all with finger tips or your fbrush. Cant wait for your new brushes. When in Cali/near mi real home out west USA, I use Monica Blunder on cheeks or Valerie Beverly Hills, waterproof, both tapped on with your foundation brush or my fingers. Ok TMI, just saying, where I am now is so humid everything just melts off. I just can’t justify anymore tints, esp that expensive. Guerlain I do what you do with Nars, bit of color in cap, boom, spreads evenly all over face. I do enjoy couple skin rocks products you recommended. Love! Ty for being here for us! El fin! Psst..Your so kool Sr. Goss
