I have no complaints about the quality of the product, but the shades are somehow incorrect. Usually, the lower the number, the lighter the shade. I bought shade 03, previously using shade 10. However, shade 03 turned out to be significantly darker. However, in the photo, shade 03 is shown as lighter than shade 10.
I rate this foundation 4.5 stars. It has a lightweight texture and adapts to the skin tone without clogging pores. It also has a subtle shimmer. I deduct half a star because it doesn't fully conceal skin imperfections such as breakouts or acne marks. You need to apply 2-3 layers on problem areas. I purchased shade #10, as I don't tan but have brunette hair. If you have light brown hair, shade #05 would be more suitable for you.
The foundation is of average quality and budget-friendly. It is understandable that in terms of quality, it cannot compete with brands like Clarins and other high-end foundations. However, when compared to other budget alternatives, it is quite decent. The coverage is medium, so it is necessary to use a concealer for under the eyes and additional imperfections, as it does not provide full coverage.
Great foundation. I have shade 010 and it suits me perfectly. I have a yellow undertone in my skin, so I'm neither pale nor tanned.
If we compare the shade with other foundations, previously I used Healthy Mix Bourjois #54 and it matches this 010 shade.
However, the finish of this foundation is matte. There is no highlighting or anything similar. It's purely matte, it slightly blurs the skin but emphasizes dry patches, so it's more suitable for normal or oily skin rather than dry skin.
Or you need to moisturize your skin very well before applying it.
Overall, I'm satisfied but I'm deducting one star for the dryness and matte finish since I was expecting some highlighting, as indicated.
The texture is lightweight and the scent is slightly overpowering. Unfortunately, shade 10 did not suit my skin despite the comments and remained yellow, much to my disappointment.
The shade does not match what is shown in the picture. I purchased shade 050, which is supposed to be dark with a hint of yellow, but I don't know who this shade would be suitable for. It can only be blended with a lighter shade.
1, I didn't like the smell, it reminds me of an old lady's cream.
2, The shades are dark, so I'll have to mix them with a lighter base.
I decided to purchase this product based on the reviews, but unfortunately, shade 002 turned out to be slightly yellowish for my fair skin tone. The scent is a bit strong and the application can be a bit challenging. It dries quickly but doesn't provide an even finish.
I really liked the texture of this product - it is lightweight, doesn't clog pores, liquid, easy to apply with fingers, dries fairly quickly, not sticky, and doesn't dry out my skin (even though my skin is drier than normal). It doesn't fully cover what you want to hide (that's what concealer is for), but it evens out the complexion. I deduct one star for the scent, which reminds me of cheap grandma perfumes. I also deduct another star for the range of shades: mostly they are all dark (more suited for Italian skin tones). I am showcasing shade number 020 in the photo. Even in the summer, it would be too dark for me (I'm against tanning).
Does not oxidize on the skin, looks natural. I liked it.
I only use Pupa. There are not many shade options, but this is because the cream adapts to the skin. It is easy to find the right shade. The effect is natural - it doesn't smudge, run, or smear. It stays on the face as long as needed without being noticeable. It moisturizes without leaving a shiny finish. It is perfect.
The foundation is simply amazing! It is completely imperceptible on the face (I got shade 010), which is an incredible plus for me. The color does appear slightly yellowish upon application, but after about 20 minutes, it adapts perfectly to the skin tone. It does not conceal blemishes, so it is suitable for those with good, healthy skin. This might be the reason why it did not work for many people. The texture is oily, so you would expect the face to shine, but it only gives a subtle glow on the cheeks. It looks very natural! In my personal opinion, fair-skinned girls should not go for this particular shade, but it should work for those with brown hair and dark eyebrows.
I have compared it to Dior, Clinique, Bourjois, Vichy foundations, as well as Guerlain, Clinique, and Max Factor powders. In all my 10 years of using foundations and powders, this one is the best. It is simply unreal, like a second skin, there's no other way to describe it. My skin doesn't get shiny throughout the day, and the coverage stays in place. Shade 11 is perfect for winter. I have a slightly yellow undertone. I will definitely get a slightly darker shade for the summer.
Girls, I don't know why you all didn't like the cream! I got the shade 010, which has a light pink undertone (since I have a pinkish skin tone) and it suited me very well. I applied it in the morning on my cleansed and moisturized face and voila - everything stayed in place all day without settling into pores or fine lines! My skin tends to be oily with enlarged pores, and I'm 24 years old. It felt like a second skin! Maybe it's just me, so I'm really lucky. I recommend testing it somewhere and buying it after seeing the shade of the foundation in daylight. That's what I usually do before making a purchase. The color is really specific, but don't forget that italians have a different skin type than us! Give it a try.
I really liked this product. It is lightweight and applies smoothly, giving a beautiful natural shade. I chose the shade 020, and it matched perfectly.
The foundation didn't work for me... It was very watery and unexpectedly yellow-orange (I got shade 011, it looked good on my hand...). As a result, it applied unevenly, you have to be very careful when applying it - otherwise, you get patches, streaks, and other "delights". I like it when my skin looks porcelain-like, but this foundation doesn't give that effect... Unfortunately, it's not for me. I'm disappointed...
I bought this foundation based on the reviews, but I have to say that it's not for me. If there is even the slightest dryness, the foundation will highlight it even more. It doesn't hide imperfections well, and it is very liquid. However, if you have perfect skin, it will look great and velvety. The scent is indeed there, but it quickly disappears after application. On the other hand, I want to thank the store employees; they helped me find the perfect shade and delivered everything quickly.
