Pierre Rene Skin Balance Foundation

I purchased this foundation based on advice and recommendations. I regretted it after the first use :)

1. The dispenser is not convenient. The dispenser itself is difficult to press, while the foundation is quite liquid. As a result, the cream just spills out after pressing. Because of this, it is not easy to use and distribute.

2. I have fair skin. And the 18 shade, which I understood to be the lightest, is simply yellow for me.

3. The coverage for minor imperfections is poor. I don't have problematic skin, but it didn't do a good job of covering up slight flaws and evening out the skin tone.

4. If you have fine lines (especially under the eyes), this product will only accentuate them as it has a slightly matte effect.

I have been using this product for several years now. It is called Surer foundation.

I really liked this foundation in shade 21. It applies perfectly and the pump dispenser works great. The glass jar looks luxurious. It does an excellent job of covering skin imperfections.

I really like it. It is matte and adapts to every skin type. I have been using it for over a year and I am satisfied.

The foundation is simply amazing for its price, this is already my third purchase. Shade 18 is suitable for fair skin, and now I also tried shade 20, which also matches me perfectly. It adapts to the skin and previously I had shade 22, which is great for a summer tan as well.

This is an excellent foundation. The packaging and dispenser are very convenient. It applies smoothly on my combination skin and I really liked it.

1. Cool Ivory is not suitable for fair skin. It is more suited for a sun-kissed fair complexion, but not for fair-skinned individuals.

2. This foundation is not the kind of product that you happily reach for every day. It is very drying and applies poorly even with a damp sponge. In the time that I have had it, I have only used it twice.

3. I applied a heavy moisturizer, mixed the foundation with a light concealer, and even used the same heavy moisturizer - somehow, I managed to create my own shade and apply it without streaks. And you know what? It doesn't cover anything, neither in this mixture nor in its regular form without concealer and moisturizer. And on top of that, it feels like my skin becomes even drier.

4. I have sensitive combination skin with dry patches, but no major issues or breakouts. During the first application without adding any concealer or moisturizer, my skin turned red and slightly broke out. However, when I mixed it, that didn't happen. I don't know why.

5. I usually use Lancôme and Dior, but I decided to try and save some money. In the end, I feel like I wasted my money. It's better to pay more and not use something like this.

Shade 19 cool ivory turned out to be slightly dark for fair skin. Overall, it applies well and would be just right for owners of tanned/dark skin.

The smell is simply awful, very chemical-like, and the shade 20 is too dark for fair skin. The foundation is mattifying, which makes it unsuitable for dry skin.

It effortlessly applies onto the skin, without giving a mask-like appearance.
