Skin Care Review: dermablend reflection foundation
|
by yael idan, tel aviv, israel
Rating Good
Benefits
creates a very natural finish, which is both matte and luminous.
Drawbacks
its color is quite orangey...
Details i'm a 31 years old, with a combination- dry yellow toned skin, a few wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead and several shallow colorless scars from a very unsuccessful peel.
i bought this foundation after some searching on the web, looking for a better (and cheaper) replacement for my "givenchy teint matt" foundation, which i use to like for years, but has become to matte and cakey for my maturing skin. "reflection foundation" is manufactured by dermablend, a brand participating in high coverage products, but from what i've understood this foundation is their lightest product, mainly promoted for its MELASYN patent formulation: some melanin and light reflecting technique that promises to give the skin a natural look and color.i bought the foundation for 7$ on Ebay, but you can get it for less for different colors and other shipping destinations. the tube i received is not so big, but still it may last for 6 month or so of daily application. my first (and only) drawback is the product color: i have ordered the "golden fawn" which wasn't to dark or to light, but very yellowy- orangey: yet by mixing it with my light- pinkish primer i can create a color which is quite similar to my natural skin color. as for this product benefits, it gives my skin a much better look then the givenchy foundation : it doesn't take more than a pea- sized amount for a full cover, smooth application, it's very easy and fast to blend with your fingers, a foundation brush or a sponge, it gives your skin a very natural "no make up" look, while actually beautifying it by it's totally matte yet radiant finish, it stays on and fresh for as long as you decide, and it is a skin- friendly foundation: it gives skin some moisture (not enough to replace a moisturizer underneath, though) and never clogged my pores (not even when i was too tired to wash my face at night). although this foundation doesn't make my wrinkles or scars less noticeable, it gives my skin an overall luminous, unified look- so i often get complements on my skin from friends (and from a dermatologist!). i will surely buy this product again, though probably in a different color (:another drawback i forgot to mention: the variety of colors is quite small).
Conclusions
i HIGHLY recommend this product, but dislike its small variety of colors.
