Classic Ivory 101

By Jasmine 8 years ago.

I was eager to love this foundation as it has been reviewed by many beauty bloggers as a great drugstore foundation, and while it is a perfect match to my skin tone--and that is rare--this foundation is just way too matte and hard to blend. I found myself reaching for three different shapes of beauty blender to try and get this foundation to blend. I tried using my fingers to blend it and that was even worse. I wore this foundation for a few days, hoping to figure out application and what I was missing out on that my favorite beauty bloggers loved. It just never caught on for me. It took forever to blend during application then would bunch and crease throughout the day. Moreover, while the foundation claims to be "weightless," I couldn't shake the feeling that my skin was slightly itchy or just couldn't breath through the very heavy, matte coverage. The coverage is so matte and powdery that the gentle strokes of highlighter on my cheeks would diminish in minutes, though this is a highlighter (Makeup Revolution) that typically lasts all day on my Clinique and Laura Mercier foundations.
