I ordered this foundation for the first time and I am delighted! Thank you so much for the fast and high-quality delivery, as well as the pleasantly affordable price. Thank you, Makeup!
"My all-time favorite foundation! It is ultra-lightweight and gives my skin a radiant glow. I use shade 103, and a jar lasts me for about a year to a year and a half with moderate use."
This is the best foundation I have ever used. The shade 110 is neither too dark nor too light. I highly recommend it!
Amazing, but thankfully I swatched before purchasing because I would have never ordered shade 111 n myself. At first, it appeared dark, but after application, it adjusted perfectly to my skin.
This cream is amazing, shade 107 is perfect for me. I'm not very fair-skinned, I have a bit of a tan, but this shade matches my skin tone perfectly. I found the right shade in a boutique, but I bought it here because the price is lower than in the makeup store. I highly recommend it to everyone!
For several years now, I have been trying to find a replacement for it, as often there is no desired shade available. However, I understand that I have not found anything better than this. Shiseido, Sensai, Chanel, Dior, and others, none of them apply like this one. I have normal skin. I apply it without primers, bases, or anything else. The coverage is medium, not suitable for those who prefer heavy makeup. It is liquid and easy to apply, even with fingers. It only has one drawback - the favorite 105 shade is often out of stock.
Terrible foundation! Absolutely awful... It's like playdough, it doesn't blend - it stretches when touched. Applying a second layer is impossible, even using a makeup base doesn't help. It cracks like a cracker on the skin... In short, it's a complete nightmare!
I bought the shade 108 Sand in October and honestly, I didn't have an instant connection with it. I have normal skin type, and during winter, I occasionally get dry patches around my nose. The color has a pink undertone, and it turned out to be a bit too dark for me, even though I'm not extremely fair-skinned. I had never used a foundation with such a velvety texture before, but after applying it, I felt a warmth and it seemed like I had put on a face mask. In short, I could strongly feel it on my face, which made me uncomfortable. Additionally, during winter, it emphasized all the dry patches and settled into my pores.
However, I gave it a second chance in the summer and simply fell in love with this foundation. Maybe it's because my face isn't as dry during this time, or maybe I got used to its texture, but it does a wonderful job of evening out my skin tone and covering redness. I even use it instead of concealer, and it works perfectly under my eyes. Now, I actually appreciate its oily base, as if the foundation is moisturizing my skin. It's not visible on my face, and it also has a pleasant scent. I apply a few drops onto my face and spread it with my fingers.
To summarize, I would say that this foundation is a matter of personal preference. You need to get used to it, and I will continue using it only during the summer.
I bought this product for the second time and I really like it. It is lightweight and perfect for the summer. It is not noticeable on the face, but it evens out the skin tone nicely. I have shade 108.5 cashew and there are many shades available, so you can find your perfect match. It completely justifies its price.
Disappointed. I used this product for over 3 years and noticed a deterioration in my skin's condition (breakouts, clogged pores, etc.), and it got worse over time. After discontinuing the use of this foundation, I realized that it was the cause. I agree with the comment below that it clogs pores a lot. After washing my face, it always looks dirty/problematic, and I feel the need to cover it up by applying more and more product. In short, it's some kind of dependency. I'm removing it from my routine for good. It's a shame because it doesn't look bad on the face. There's no masking effect, but after a few hours, it becomes shiny and greasy. For those with oily skin or prone to breakouts, I recommend refraining from purchasing it and looking for something similar to a CC cream, possibly from a professional/medicinal line.
I didn't buy it here. Shade 105 is excellent for light (but not snow-white) with a neutral undertone. It provides perfect coverage while maintaining the liveliness of the skin. I don't like overly heavy foundations, I prefer using concealer for spot correction. Creamy contour and blush blend perfectly, and I use translucent powder for the T-zone. I noticed that sometimes it doesn't work well with concealer, but it's easily fixed with a beauty blender - I only apply it with that, as using a brush makes it look very dry, even though I always moisturize my face well.
Good foundation. At first, it was unusual to use the pipette, but I got used to it over time.
Like any foundation, it won't completely cover visible skin imperfections and flakiness, but the face looks natural with it. I have tried applying it in different ways, and the brush was the least successful (maybe I'm doing it wrong). It's best to apply it with clean hands and then go over the face with a slightly damp sponge. And make sure to shake it before using.
I'm buying the 106 shade for the second time, but I would like to try the 105 shade.
I have combination skin that can get oily at times. Naturally, my face starts to shine during the day, so I use blotting papers.
After using it for a while, I noticed that my skin is improving. I have used different foundations before, but they didn't have a skincare effect.
This is one of the best foundations I have ever used (and I have used many). I have been buying it for 10 years now. During this time, the packaging has changed and the formula has become slightly more liquid, but the scent remains the same, and most importantly, the quality is superb, as well as the effect it has on the skin after use. It covers all imperfections (pores, blemishes, etc.), provides a very subtle "inner" glow, and stays perfect all day long. Every time I use this foundation, I receive compliments. I also really like the wide range of shades available. By the way, with this brand, you have to choose the shade separately for each product. For my fair skin, this foundation in shade 102.5 suits me perfectly, and as for the powder, I also use Skin Illusion in shade 103.
I have never understood the value of foundation at such a price. I received a gift certificate to Brocard and decided to use it by choosing this particular foundation. It was recommended to me by a consultant. It has a moisturizing effect, even though my skin is problematic and oily. But after the first application, it was love at first touch. It has a wonderful scent, and shade 108.3 is a perfect match for me. I am not too fair-skinned, but also not too dark. My skin can breathe, it doesn't have a mask-like effect, and it doesn't slide off like it used to. Before, my entire phone would be covered in foundation. Of course, this foundation doesn't completely conceal all imperfections perfectly, because it is truly lightweight, but it does a decent job. I'm pleased that it doesn't feel heavy on my face and it's invisible. In the future, I plan to buy from makeup here.
After a year of use, I can say that this product accentuates the roughness of the skin. However, if you spend a lot of time preparing your skin and applying it, you can achieve decent results. The color palette is extremely inconvenient; all shades 101, 103, and 105 are very light, appearing even lighter on the face than on the hand or wherever you may test it. On the other hand, shades 110 are already dark, and I've heard many complaints about people struggling to find the right shade. Moreover, considering the price, the longevity could be better. Due to the fact that it applies as a film, it is difficult to say that it feels lightweight after a couple of hours, although the consistency is watery.
I wrote a positive review below, but it turns out it clogs pores. It's not as heavy as other foundations, but it causes me to break out with pimples. I have different makeup removers, but they are powerless against it. It also clogs my sister's problem-free skin. I will not repurchase.
"My love. It blends seamlessly with the skin, making it velvety and hiding any minor flaws. It doesn't emphasize dryness (which is important to me), and it doesn't feel heavy like a mask. It's the coolest and my favorite in this price range. Estee Lauder is too heavy for me.
I have fair skin with shade 103 (it doesn't make it yellow or give a piggy undertone). Before applying, I moisturize well with the Farm stay Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid All-in-One Ampoule."
I didn't buy it for makeup. Overall, it's not a bad foundation. Important note: it cannot be applied with a thin layer, either with a brush or a blender. It lasts well on my skin until midday. It has a high consumption rate - in two months, I've already used more than half of the jar (and I don't wear makeup every day).
A very good foundation. It covers imperfections well and mattifies the skin nicely. It is long-lasting and has a fairly liquid texture. The only downside is that it emphasizes dry patches (but at that time, I had quite significant ones). However, if you have combination or oily skin, this drawback won't greatly affect your overall impression of it!
Although I did not buy the foundation here, I cannot help but leave a review. Everything about it is perfect - from the scent to the incredibly lightweight texture that spreads on the face like water and leaves a delicate velvety veil. Despite its super lightweight texture, this foundation significantly evens out the skin tone and can conceal serious imperfections without emphasizing dry patches. I have oily and problematic skin, so liquid foundations have always been a concern for me as they tend to settle into pores, but this one is simply a never-ending love affair. 10/10.
My love! It applies easily and then sets a little. I have normal skin that tends to be dry. There is no greasy film. It excellently covers my redness on the nose and around it. Now I have found my perfect shade, 110. It is light just like 107 but the difference is that 107 has a pink undertone, while 110 has a yellow undertone. So, 110 is a light shade with a yellow undertone, suitable for warm undertones of the skin. It has a very beautiful natural color, my face looks fresher, simply superb for everyday use!
At first, I didn't like it because it didn't hide imperfections. However, it has its advantages:
- It doesn't create a heavy mask-like effect.
- Suitable for everyday use.
- It effectively evens out the complexion.
Maybe I'll give it another try.
Great product, but what's wrong with the dispenser? There is a lot of product left at the bottom, but the pipette no longer reaches it.
I am very satisfied with this foundation. It has become my favorite this year, suitable for both warm and cold weather. It doesn't dry out my skin at all, even though it tends to be dry during winter. I believe that with proper skincare, these issues can be avoided. The coverage is moderate, leaning towards a lightweight feel. It is liquid and completely invisible on the face, which is very important to me. Among my favorite foundations are Chanel Aqua, Estée Lauder medium coverage in a tube, and all the Guerlain options. Hopefully, this information will be helpful to fans of these products. The shade I use is 107. It is light, but not completely. It may not be suitable for those with very fair skin.
I purchased this product in shade 108. To say that I am extremely satisfied would be an understatement! Although I bought it from a different store, Brocard, the price here is better. If shade 108 is always available, I will continue buying it here.
The quality of this foundation is outstanding! It has a pleasant scent, applies evenly, and effectively conceals imperfections without leaving a clay mask-like effect on the face. The pipette in the tube is very convenient.
My skin type is combination, with some areas oily and others very dry. This foundation suits me perfectly! I highly recommend it.
This used to be my favorite foundation, but after the packaging change, the texture also changed. I have fair skin prone to dryness, slightly enlarged pores on my cheeks, and occasional breakouts. So, the cream is very lightweight and doesn't cover the breakouts, it sinks into the pores and highlights skin flakes (even though I apply a primer before foundation, it doesn't help). The only plus is that it smells nice and the packaging is beautiful. This review is about shade 105. Before Clarins, I used the Amway Youth Extend foundation in the shade Natural. It's perfect: moisturizes the skin, doesn't sink into pores, slightly thicker, and has a velvety finish + SPF. The only downside is the price. Maybe my review will help someone.
103 TA 105 FOR LIGHT SKIN. WAITING FOR ITS APPEARANCE!
I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of the 103 TA 105 shade specifically designed for light skin.
This product is very lightweight and absolutely doesn't hide anything. However, it is absolutely not worth its price!
Quality for 100 hryvnias. It applies so-so, sinks into pores, emphasizes wrinkles. One star for the scent. Oh, it really smells nice.
The colors are beautiful, but it doesn't sit well! It is not suitable for oily skin. It emphasizes all the imperfections.
