PROJECT: foundation - preview

my first video of my self project is uploaded on my YouTube now
click HERE for the video link
(i know i can just upload the video here but there will be no annotations right? im not sure..)
but anyway
imma go in to the reviews on the products ive used in the past now



BOBBI BROWN oil-free even finish foundation SPF 15

Price: don't remember, but im guessing is around $42-$45
Coverage: ⓒⓒⓒⓒⓒ
Long-wearing: ⓛⓛⓛⓛⓛ
Color-range: ⓡⓡⓡⓡⓡ
Over all: ⓞⓞⓞⓞ
I'm in the color SAND (2)
Where to buy: Bobbi Brown website or their counters
The consistency of this foundation is very water-y
the bottle makes it even harder to control the amount out of the bottle
first it doesn't have that much coverage
then when i try to apply more, it starts to look cake-y
i don't know if its becuz of the SPF it has or something
it smells like sun bloci personally don't have a problem with the smell of sun block
but this also has a alcohol-ish smell mixed in it
so i wasn't in love with the smell
i can't do as much review on the foundation
cuz the last time i actually apply this foundation on my face was about 6 months ago
so yea...

GIVENCHY PHOTO'PERFEXION fluid foundation 0 flaw SPF 20 PA+++
Price: $44
Coverage: ⓒⓒⓒⓒ
Long-wearing: ⓛⓛⓛⓛ
Color-range: ⓡⓡⓡⓡⓡ (7 colors)
Over all: ⓞⓞⓞⓞ
I'm in the color 04 PERFECT VANILLA
Where to buy: Sephora
I really like this foundation except the fact that it is very pricy
but the consistency is almost perfect
not too water-y, not too thick
the pump top makes it easy to control the amount
it gives great coverage and doesn't look cake-y
i also have the GIVENCY PRISME LIBRE (a loose powder)
i set the foundation with that loose powder
and i didn't even need to use concealer (except for under the eyes)
the foundation smells amazing! i love the smell
but i really don't know how to describe the smell
but I LOVE IT!
in general i like this foundation if it wasn't so pricy
(i got to get it becuz i went shopping with my mom and she offered to buy it for me)
i just wish the price would go down!

CLINIQUE superfit makeup oil-free long wear 
 Price: $21
Coverage: ⓒⓒⓒⓒ
Long-wearing: ⓛⓛⓛⓛ
Color-range: ⓡⓡⓡⓡⓡ (14)
Over all: ⓞⓞⓞⓞ
I'm in the color 01 SHELL
Where to buy: Sephora, Clinique counters/website
I quite like this foundation
it's long-wear, oil free and easy to apply
but sometimes i just don't like to use liquid foundation


MAYBELLINE dream matte mousse
Price: $7-$10
Coverage: ⓒⓒⓒⓒ
Long-wearing: ⓛⓛⓛⓛⓛ
Color-range: ⓡⓡⓡⓡⓡ (16)
Over all: ⓞⓞⓞⓞⓞ
I'm in the color MEDIUM 0 (light beige) & LIGHT 4 (nude)
Where to buy: drugstores
this is a pretty good foundation also
except it is really easy to over apply
so be careful when applying
it might look cake-y when over apply
this is not as long wearing as the clinique foundation
but itll do if ur only out of the house for a couple of hours

NARS sheer matte foundation
Price: $42
Coverage: ⓒⓒⓒⓒ
Long-wearing: ⓛⓛⓛⓛⓛ
Color-range: ⓡⓡⓡⓡⓡ (14)
Over all: ⓞⓞⓞⓞⓞ
I'm in the color PUNJAB
Where to buy: Sephora, NARS counters/website
i know a lot of people have raved about this foundation
but i just don't like it
first it breaks me out
second it's really sheer
when i was at sephora, the lady told me that this foundation has a good coverage
but when i apply it enough to reach the coverage that i like
it is super cake-y and looked really fake
so i either have to apply multiple layers of concealer, or i have to give up on coverage
other than minimal coverage
it wasnt very long wearing either
i put it on and left the house for around 4 hours
and my foundation has already melted
fyi, i did have setting powder over it
so i mean
for a foundation at this price
the quality just wasn't what i would expect

that's all for my foundation review so far
look forward for more
and hope u liked it :)
