Foundation:
Becca Cosmetics - it's perfect!
BECCA Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme |
OMG, where do I begin?!?!?! Ok, I was watching a video on YouTube about a full coverage yet LIGHTWEIGHT foundation from Becca. I immediately thought of Kat Von D. - Lock-It Tattoo Foundation. K.V.D's foundation is full coverage but feels heavy at least for me on the skin. Overall, it gives a flawless application.
*Recommendation - if you have never tried K.V.D, I suggest for you to get color match and ask for a sample before purchasing it.
About the brand:
Becca is a brand from Australia and it's sold in most Sephora's and Macy's. It's an amazing brand with great products.
About the Foundation:
This foundation gives full coverage yet it's lightweight on the skin because it contains a mix of water and pigment. It covers most skin imperfection such as acne, acne scars, dark spots, etc. It also hydrates the face, which helps the application lasts a long time without any need of reapplying and not clogging the pores. The packaging is in a bottle that has a pump. It contains 30 ml/1.0 oz, comes in a range of 20 colors (light to deep complexion) and retails at $44.00. This does have a smell not so pleasant but manageable. It's describe to be used on any skin types.
How to Use:
All you need is 1 pump, which will cover your entire face and neck. This foundation dries nicely BUT quickly so you must BLEND FAST! I like to use my beauty blender (as an alternate tool you can use a large non-latex damp sponge). If you're a "take my time" gal then using a brush of your choice to help blend the foundation evenly and then go over with your beauty blender. I also like to use my Sigma F84 or Sedona Lace FB07 brush to apply.
PROS:
In addition to providing full coverage and not feeling heavy on the skin the BEST part for me and all eye glasses users is for the first time I found a foundation that stays on my skin and not on my glasses. Amazing!
*I'm in the color "NUDE" (MAC NC30)
CONS:
This foundation is not for someone who suffers with large pores. Benefit PoreProfessional helps reduce the appearance of pores.
