Today we are back to foundation again! And today's foundation is Zoeva Authentik Skin Foundation.
This particular foundation have minimum hype. Apparently, hardly anybody talks about Zoeva foundation when it is so good! But if you say Zoeva, people will know them for their luxurious yet affordable brushes. Want to know why? This is because the founder, Zoe Boikou, who is born in Greece and not long after, moved to Germany with her family to seek a better life. Having little means but great resourcefulness, she soon evolved from a handful of brushes on eBay to 300-plus signature makeup formulas, palettes and tools sold around the world.
Now, let's go into details. Below is what Zoeva Authentik Skin Foundation claimed to be.
What is Rose Hip Oil?
Rose Hip Oil is packed with Vitamins, Antioxidants and essential fatty acids that are claimed to do wonderful things to your skin. It helps to brighten your face, fade scars, firms up your skin, even out your skin tone, treat wrinkles and last but not least, moisturizing.
I have to agree that this foundation feels lightweight on the skin, it has a medium to buildable full coverage. It is super easy to blend, the formula is not watery, neither is it thick. It gives your skin that natural, slightly glowy skin finish, which I loved. It is also water-resistant, YES YOU HEARD ME! Water-resistant. Even though it is not stated anywhere in the description of the foundation, but when I was playing around with it, I managed to give it a test and it doesn't budge. That is impressive! But if you plan to wear this foundation for swimming, I dare not say that it will hold. Haha! This foundation is also formulated with microsphere powders with soft-focus properties to help create a flawless, airbrushed effect. This is proven too! In all, I'm in love with this foundation.
This foundation comes with a plastic pump and a glass bottle. Such a classic foundation packaging if you ask me. It retails at $42 SGD at Sephora Singapore ($28 USD at Zoeva Official Website). It consists of 30ml of product which I find it very affordable. A plus point to that. Another plus point is that, this foundation comes in 44 shades. This I can assure you that there is a shade for everyone. Also, take a look at their shade names. The shade names makes me feel good and motivated! I am in shade 070N Bright by the way.
Now it's time for the durability test in this hot humid weather.
(this is almost a 2-hour mark after application. Still looking good like I just applied them)
(this is a 6-hour mark. Foundation still loving my face)
(this is 15-hour mark. Time to clean my face and head to bed)
What are my thoughts on Zoeva Authentik Foundation?
I personally like this foundation. I mean this foundation is nothing groundbreaking whatsoever, but the fact that this foundation is lightweight on the skin, medium coverage and covers my redness, humidity resistant and water-resistant, this foundation had me ticking everything I looked for in a foundation. For every foundation review, I do have a certain checklist to see how it fairs and I have to say, this foundation is low-key good stuff. It is by far the cheapest. I used to say Fenty Beauty is the cheapest foundation, but now Zoeva has taken its spot in being the cheapest foundation in Sephora (excluding Sephora Collection that is). In any way, I got a little sidetrack. Haha! Back to topic, this foundation even after setting it with loose setting powder, it still makes my face glowy. Ain't that what everybody wants? A glowy healthy look even without highlighter 😍 It's like you're not wearing any foundation. Your skin but better.
I would not have it any other way. This foundation definitely lasted throughout the whole day without any caking anywhere, without looking patchy after I perspire when I chase after morning bus. It still made me look fabulous. If you are looking for a foundation with good coverage, you might want to check this out. I can vouch for my dry skin sisters, but I think perhaps combination skin sisters can enjoy this too.
With that, I shall end my post here.
I'm so sorry that I've been out of the game for a while due to brain exhaustion. Have no fear, Brock is here! (LOL! Quote from Pokemon 😆).
I will see you in my next post! 💖
