Gorgeous light-weight foundation
This is a lovely light-weight oil-free liquid foundation. I've been using the KA SSE SX11 which is just a tad too yellow for my skin tone, hence I was looking for other foundations to use.
My skin type: Oily, oily ... oily!
SF08 product texture: Very thin and watery, zero oil.
Application: Shake the bottle well before using as instructed :) I moisturise, prime, correct + conceal then use 1 full dropper to cover my whole face, using a foundation brush (Rae Morris #23 or Wayne Goss #10). Product is placed into the palm of my hand, picked up with the brush then dotted onto the face. It's easy to spread and buff gently into the skin (to avoid displacing my correction/concealing products). Didn't attempt to use a beauty blender - felt that the SF08 formulation, being oil-free, watery + very thin, would mostly get absorbed into the sponge and therefore less product would be available for the skin.
Colour: I'm a medium-deep. Got matched by the Beautylish Team. The SF08 matches well with my skin tone. It's slightly lighter in shade that my other foundations and less warm.
To compare with my other foundations: - Natasha Denona Glow #75 medium-dark. It's slightly deeper in shade than the SF08 and a more illuminating glowy foundation. So will use the ND#75 in summer and keep the KA SF08 for winter. - Natasha Denona Phenomattic Flawless Texture Foundation #7 shade medium-dark bisque. Matte foundation like the SF08 but more thicker/creamy plus it does not require any setting with powder.
Setting powder used: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder.
Coverage: Medium to full, depending on how much prior correction/concealing product was applied. I only had to apply one layer of the SF08; this surprised me, since I've got a LOT of hyperpigmentation on cheeks, around mouth and on chin.
Final verdict: A gorgeous matte smooth natural look. A change from the other more creamy liquid foundations but the watery texture is easy to apply. Definitely will re-order :)
