Beauty Product Reviews

A dissapointing experience.

My skin is sensitive to a moderate degree, and I have some redness issues from broken capillaries on my cheeks and nose. I was looking for a nurturing foundation that would have an efficient sunscreen, be easy to use and apply, that could provide a good and natural cover up of redness without looking like I was wearing a lot of makeup. After a long research, reading reviews and watching videos on the it cosmetics website I decided to try this one, and to be honest, I had quite high expectations. Not for miraculous results, but above average. This product did not meet any of my demands and had some negative side effects as well, that I was not expecting from a brand that markets it self as it cosmetics do. The applicatin is not pleasant, wether I use the recommended it brush or just fingers it doesn't blend in well, it feels thick and sticky, and I have to apply an enormous amount to get a somewhat descent cover of the redness on my cheeks, which is (in all honesty) nothing like the redness you see in the promo videos. So either I choose an inefficient coverage or I create a very clear mask of clay on my skin looking extremely painted. It somehow enhanced the pores on my cheeks especially, and using the bye bye pore powder afterwards didn't really help. That just enhanced all of the little hairs in my face, and again, I don't have a lot of those either, doing only little to minimize pores. An hour after putting it on it had irritated my skin, so I was walking around with a red frame around my mouth and nose, something I have never experienced a foundation doing before. Three hours later it had dried out my skin a lot, so when smiling I had dryness wrinkles coming all the way down from my eyes over my cheeks, almost reaching my jaw bone. Never tried that from a cream either. I had used my regular skincare regime, and over that applied the collagen veil primer from it cosmetics, before applying the foundation. When I reached the afternoon of the first day of wearing this, I had dry and tight skin, the coverage was gone and I had an irritated, even more red than usual, skin, and the cream was flaking off, starting to get cakey over my cheeks, even though I didn't apply vigorous amounts of it. I gave it a shot using it for a week, thinking that my skin maybe had to get used to it; same results. I'm in no way a big make up artist, doing all sorts of contouring, but I can apply a foundation making it look somewhat natural, and this product just came out worse than I could ever have imagined. Maybe it works for others, but definitely not for me, and to be honest; I'm really disappointed. I'd done my research, picked out a product after what it promised, and not one of those promises has been kept so far, it only made matters worse. I would really not recommend it, I won't but it again, and my hunt for a descent foundation continues, unfortunately.
