Promises
It says:
Covers imperfections and blemishes whilst maintaining your skins natural glow with light-diffusing particles of shimmer that creates instant radiance.Sounds perfect! Now let's see what's inside the tube!
Ingredients
The ingredients are:
Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Quaternium-90 bentonite, Propylene Carbonate, Glycerin, Isododecane, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tocopheryl Acetate, BHA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499So it's a water and silicone based foundation, as I think most are. Aluminium starch Octenylsuccinate and BHA aren't the safest of ingredients and there are different kinds of parabens in there, which I'm not keen on.
Test
The foundation is quite runny when I put some on the back of my hand, but it was no problem once I dotted it on my face.
I does provide a good amount of coverage and as said before, it is light enough for me. It's even ever so slightly too light. I don't mind that tough, as I have some foundations in my drawer that are too dark that I can mix this one with.
So if you're struggling to find a budget foundation that doesn't make you look like an Oompa Loompa this may be a good one for you. Foundation is by far the hardest beauty product to get right, so I hope more brands will sell lighter shades too so there's more of a choice in formulations.
Sincerely,
