Unfortunately I don't have very good skin to start with, not because of blemishes (spots/pimples) but I have freckles, pigmentation and a lot of redness...and being pale doesn't help! I am always looking for full coverage to have so I have a flawless complexion and that is what you get with this foundation.
In the above picture I am not wearing any powder or concealer which is quite amazing. I have the shade "Cream Ivory" which is the second lightest....I'm not entirely sure why I went for this colour as it is WAY too dark for pale skin although it is perfect when I have a little bit of a tan on. I am thinking of testing out the "Soft Ivory" so I can wear it everyday.
I like to apply this foundation with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush - you do need to blend this in well because it is a quite thick consistency seeing as it is a creme. A little bit goes a long way with this foundation. I do find this colour it is very yellow based which I actually like because I feel it counteracts my redness. You can see me apply it in my Getting Ready With Me video here.
Coverage: Full.
Packaging: I like the simple packaging of this product. Very easy to carry with you as it's a tube.
Wear time: I find this lasts around 7-8 hours before you need to apply some powder to take away the shine.
Repurchase?: Definitely. I will be getting the lightest shade soon.
Overall I am very impressed with this, as are a lot of other beauty bloggers I have seen recently. If you are looking for a true full coverage foundation, I would recommend this for you.
Have you tried this foundation? What did you think?
I like this foundation, but I stupidly let them talk me into the rose ivory shade which is way too dark and too pink. I'd really like to try soft ivory too :) The coverage is phenominal.

i've heard so many great things about this foundation! :) The only thing that puts me off buying it is the price
ReplyDeletethis looks so nice on your skin! i'm always so tempted to buy it when i go past a laura mercier counter. i'm a fellow paley with lots of freckles & pigmentation so it sounds like it could be a good one to try xx
ReplyDeleteThough I'd never spend that much on a foundation, I have to admit it looks freakin' amazing!

I also have a love-hate relationship with this foundation, at first I don't like it, but now I love it. We have a bit of a tiff if I don't blend it in well enough, but for the most part it's love :-)
ReplyDeletewow! has the price been lowered to 59 aud now? thats good news for us aussies :P
ReplyDeletei love this foundation! so obsessed with it! lookin good!
ReplyDeleteI didn`t like the foundation at first too, but then I read on the tube that the foundation should be applied with a sponge - and voilà - it looks perfect! Have you tried it with a beautyblender too? If not, you have to. It`s wonderful!!!
