Let's discuss about Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I know I'm outdated but better than not trying this foundation, right? 😛
This foundation has received crazy amount of hype. Some say it is their best dewy foundation, some say it is their best matte foundation. But which finish does this foundation gives? Curious at how I rate this foundation? Then keep on reading.
This foundation comes in a glass bottle with a plastic pump. It has 30ml of product in that bottle. You can use both brush and a beauty sponge with this foundation but if you prefer a better coverage, I would suggest using a sponge. This foundation has a medium coverage and it is buildable to your desired coverage.
This foundation is very dewy, in my opinion. Half a pump of this foundation is more than enough to cover my whole face. If you think that half a pump is still too much, you can do a quarter pump and dot it all over your face for a thin layer of foundation before blending it with a damp beauty sponge.
Since this foundation is too dewy, you can set your face with loose setting powder. If you don't usually set your face, for this foundation, you can lightly set your face to get that satin finish. This foundation would be ideal if you're staying somewhere in the cold places or you would be in an aircon place the whole day. If you plan to go out in this humid, tropical weather, I would highly suggest not to use this foundation as it will rub off and you can't blend it back to the skin with the foundation that is left on your face.
Below I will show you how the foundation sits on my face.
This is how the foundation looks like after 1 hour of application. It looks perfect, if I have to say so myself 😛
This is how my foundation looks like after being in a cold aircon office for the whole day. During this period of time, I only touch up my eyeliner at my waterline. This foundation tend to be a tad oily on my skin but I'm not bothered as it gives me this glow.
As you can see from the above two pictures, you can see the foundation rubs off on my nose bridge. That was because I was wearing specs while watching movie. The foundation rubs off the same way when you are under the humidity in Singapore. I tried my best to blend the foundation to cover the patchy area, but it doesn't budge. Thus, the second picture. That is the picture of me after attempting to blend the foundation to cover the patchy area.
This foundation retails at $61 SGD from Sephora.
I won't say this foundation is for dry skin only as some combination and oily skin do enjoy this foundation but I would think dry skin would enjoy it more.
With that, I've concluded this post.
I will see you in my next post!
With love, 💖.
