Great for Full yet Natural Looking Coverage
Ive spent years trying different brands of foundation in every price range, and while Ive certainly gotten closer Ive never really found the right shade. My complexion has strong yellow undertones and areas of hyperpigmentation from both sun exposure and teenage acne. Did I mention the dark circles under my eyes?
I first tried Smashbox's High Definition Foundation L3-L4, which turned out to be a perfect match for my skin tone. I was thrilled with this, but unfortunately it didnt provide the full coverage that I was looking for. So I went to the next level of coverage which is the Camera Ready Full Coverage Foundation.
This is a cream foundation with a smooth consistency that does not feel greasy. It's easy to apply with fingetips and/or sponge, and provides natural looking full coverage which can be built on without making it look any less natural.
I do have very dry skin and before I apply this foundation its important to moisturize well and use some type of primer to prevent the foundation from settling into the creases on my face(which sounds worse than it really is). This is by no means a deal breaker because its easy to prevent with careful application. I would highly recommend that anyone with olive/sallow skin at least give this brand a try.
Something to think about if youre buying online:
In my opinion the color names are somewhat misleading. I have very olive skin, dark brown hair, and the color that I use is Light L3-L4, whereas if I were to go from experience Im usually at least in the medium range.
REASONS FOR NOT GIVING 5 STARS:
1. Expensive at $38 for only 0.34oz.
2. The enclosed brush is an odd, not a very practical choice for cream foundation, and I have yet to use it. It is a nice little brush though, so it makes me wonder how much it inflated the cost of final product
Overall a thumbs up except for the few things I mentioned.
