I like them, but I don’t absolutely positively love them-and that’s a big difference. As well, $46 for a powder that is pretty, but not super effective for my skin? I probably would say I wouldn’t repurchase either one of them. $46 is a lot for a foundation, especially one that, while nice, isn’t the best foundation I’ve ever used for my skin. Would I repurchase these items? This is where I start to second guess myself.
#WET N WILD PHOTO FOCUS FOUNDATION DEWY SWATCHES SKIN#
If you have normal skin, how lucky are you, honestly? Just kidding this foundation is really perfect if you don’t have any skin issues, but are looking for full coverage. However, the powder would be perfect if you have dry skin the finish is so beautiful and it doesn’t really mattify at all. Without having dry skin myself, I don’t want to make any absolute calls. If you have dry skin, this foundation might require some testing. If you were going to a short event, the powder would actually probably be perfect: not too drying and absolutely gorgeous on the skin. The powder is beautiful, but I don’t think it does much for oily skin. As a cream foundation, it is best for normal skin types and maybe even dry-skinned cuties, as it is quite “moist” as far as stick foundations go. If you are oily skinned, this foundation, like most foundations, will need a little work. I’ll address other skin types in my final thoughts! I’m going to keep playing around with applications for this foundation, but I’m pretty pleased that this method works best for me and my skin type. I felt so pretty with this foundation on-and honestly, it doesn’t get much better than that. I know this picture to the left is a Snapchat photo (I love that filter, #noshame), but it’s the only photo I remembered to snap all day during the third wear test. This made my foundation last about 6 hours, which is pretty much as good as it gets for me, with only a little breakdown around my nose and no cakiness. Then, I mixed the Veil powder with a little bit of my It Cosmetics Bye Bye pores this gave me the gorgeous finish that the Veil powder has, while also setting my oily skin. I found I did not have to use any concealer with this application, as my undereyes and blemishes were covered. Even though I usually apply cream foundations with brushes, something about this stick foundation definitely did not play nice with my brush! It looked great with a sponge and just as full coverage. However, even with this method, I found it broke down, especially around my nose, within 3-4 hours.įor my third wear test, I think I found the best method: clean face, moisturized, then apply foundation with a sponge. The Veil powder really is beautiful on the skin. And honestly, I love the finish of this foundation combined with the Veil powder. However, once I applied the Veil powder over top, I had salvaged it a little bit. (This is the Wayne Goss method if you’re oily-skinned, I highly recommend it!) However, this made it slightly harder to blend the foundation I found it dried before I could get to brush it. On second wear test, I decided to try my tried-and-true method of using It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores as a base underneath my foundation. I didn’t notice it getting cakey or gross, but it did slide around-again, probably because I didn’t use my holy grail powder. It is not a matte finish, as it is a cream formula, and it is very full coverage without feeling heavy. Despite the streakiness, I did really like the finish and even though I had been hesitant about the color, it didn’t oxidize or anything. However, on other areas of my face, the foundation had held up well. It’s that good.) Within a few hours, my nose was almost entirely bare of foundation, which is pretty standard if I don’t use my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores.
(I already linked the review, but this powder really is my holy grail. I didn’t use my usual It Cosmetics Bye Bye pores powder. The first day I wore this foundation, as I said, I applied it with a brush, then applied the powder. I’ll share what I think worked and what I think didn’t later. I felt like that gave me the most variety of how I applied it. Here’s a rundown of each of my wear test methods:Ĭlean face, moisturizer, foundation blended with kabuki brush, veil powder on topĬlean face, moisturizer, It Cosmetics powder, foundation with brush, veil powder on topĬlean face, moisturizer, foundation with sponge, It Cosmetics powder & veil powder on top Like with all my foundation reviews, I gave myself a few days to experiment with this foundation and how I applied it. Foundation & powder are crucial items for me, so getting the opportunity to review the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation stick (it’s that triangle shaped foundation stick that every beauty guru uses in their videos-seriously) and the Veil Powder is really a dream come true. Having problem skin (I hate that phrase, but why is it the best way to describe everything?), my base makeup is one I almost always wear, even when I’m running late.
