Rated: 6/10.
Coverage isn't very good/doesn't last. Highlights unwanted features on skin. Makes a great base however.

Okay so I've been
searching for a long time trying to find the perfect foundation that offers
full coverage, won't block up my pores/highlight them, won't be ruined by my
oily skin, and will last all day for me/my wedding this Sunday. My sister had a
friend selling this product line, so I talked to her and she suggested I try
the Cream foundation. She said it would perfect for me and do exactly what I
wanted. So I decided to say screw it and ordered the Touch Mineral Cream
Foundation in the "Organza" shade. Which is For light skin with
pink undertones. Perfect.
Shipping was very fast,
probably about 3-4 days. I think the price came out to about $40, which is a
decent price for foundation. A little on the pricey side, but from how it was
marketed to me by my sisters friend I thought it was going to be worth it. Immediately
the next day I tested it out. As usual I did my normal routine, face wash, then
toner/moisturizer, let all that sink and my skin relax. Then primer and grabbed
my beauty blender. (After doing my eyebrows of course.)
Here is my face
immediately before and then right after I applied the cream foundation.
(I look very startled in
the first picture. x)
As you can see, it
highlights all the little imperfections in my skin, while giving you a very
nice glow. I didn't like the coverage... It's more of a sheer coverage then
full, and my nose pores seriously looked hug. It filled them in so badly I was
embarrassed to leave the house. So of course I added my Make Up For Ever
Matte Duo powder foundation on top with a blending brush and kind of just dotted/stamped
it on for an even application. I didn't want to sweep because I was afraid I
might wipe off the cream. After all that I finished my makeup, (Contouring,
eyes, and a little bit of blush.)
All together it looked
perfect! Almost airbrushed! I was seriously in love with how I looked. I headed
to work and went about my day.
I noticed however, as I
sat at work (Security Guard, So basically I'm just an underpaid and
overworked secretary.) my face was really itchy, especially around my T-zone. I
already knew that it meant, my oils were having trouble getting through the
cream foundation, that or my skin just did not like it. I will admit I was
itching a tiny bit, but with the corner of my nail not full on crazy itch. So
by the end of the day when I got home I looked in the mirror... Couldn't even
tell I had foundation on.
Here's a before/after:
As you can see, SUPER
SHINY!!! It had completely melted of unfortunately.
I wore the foundation all
weekend as well and same results. By the end of the day the coverage had
dropped 50% of what it was when I applied it, and my face was shiny as always.
No amount of blotting papers could help. So I will continue my search of the
perfect foundation. I ordered some Make Up For Ever Velvet Matte + foundation
that will be here Thursday, just in time for me to test it before the wedding
Sunday. Cutting it a little close I know, but I literally have no choice.
