Zoeva Authentik Skin Foundation - Low Key Product.

Hello Beauties!

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! 💖

Nudestix Tinted Cover Foundation

Nudestix have finally came up with their very own liquid foundation! 

"Go Nude But Better!"

That is their slogan which I totally agree. I love going nude. I've always been a girl who love going nude but I'm also the girl who love a good product that give you that natural flush of colours without going all crazy for my day-to-day look.

Without further ado, let's talk about Nudestix First Ever Liquid Foundation! I've known of this launch for a few months since my last event Sephora Beauty Beats on 11th July 2019. It was like Love at First Sight with the foundation but sadly I forgot to take a sample of the foundation so that I could do a review for you guys. Now that they have officially reach Singapore, I am at my most happiest! 😍

Nudestix Tinted Cover Foundation.

Tinted Cover Foundation is designed to give your skin that natural radiant finish. It is formulated like a Korean Skincare formula with tinted coverage. Nudestix believes that the minimalist approach to creating natural and real looking skin. They created this foundation with a mindset that skin should feel like skin but better.

The foundation comes in a tube with a pump that makes it travel friend and light. It has a light to slightly buildable medium coverage but if you planned to use this foundation to cover blemishes, I would highly suggest you to opt for spot concealing. The foundation feels super lightweight on the skin making me feel like I have nothing on other than skincare. It comes in 15 shades altogether. It has 20ml of product, costing $52 SGD from Sephora.

**If you are from Singapore, do note that Nudestix is giving their Blend And Buff Brush if you spend a minimum of $65 SGD on their brand products. All you have to do is  quote NUDESTIXSG to redeem from 18 Sep - 03 October 2019, while stock last. You can only redeem the brush online only.

This foundation claims that . . .
1. Uses natural ingredients that is good for your skin that will make your skin glowy.
2. It does not cause break-outs.
3. They use hydra-technology to soften skin, brightening minerals that blends into your natural skintone instead of masking it so that your skin will still look like skin.
4. Uses 18 Natural extracts to balance skin condition, protect from the environment, provide anti-aging benefits and improve overall skin texture.

Below I will attach the key ingredients in this foundation.



Wow. Judging from the list above, they focus on anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Why is that so?
Anti-aging properties in the foundation helps smooth skin texture, hides inperfections, disguise fine lines and wrinkles, and gives your skin that glowing complexion. Anti-aging properties consist of antioxidants, hydrators, peptides and collagen boosters.
I strongly believe that as you grow older, your skin will thank you for taking care of it and feeding it with anti-aging products.
Anti-inflammatory properties in the foundation helps with soothing the skin from acne breakouts, redness and flakiness. These are caused by UV exposure, allergies and chemicals from skincare.

With this much goodness in a foundation, I believe that your skin will improve to be better that it is now in the long run. Below I will show you how it looks like on me when I was doing a review on it.

(This is after 1.5 hours of application. I chased after a bus and sweat a little that morning but it still good.)

(This is after 5 hours of application. I went out of my office in the humid and hazy weather and my foundation is good.)

(This is after 9.5 hours of application. I have to say I am still impressed at how long lasting this foundation is.)

(This is after 14 hours mark. And I was about to take my makeup off for the day)

My Verdict.
I'm totally in love with this foundation. It gives me that sheer glow that I need and love without working so hard to pump different kind of skincare underneath the foundation. This foundation also works well on skin without primer. On days where I'm lazy to put on a lot of things, I would just grab this foundation and Nudestix Matte Blush and bronzer and I'm done. I would personally say that this foundation is humid-proof and sweatproof. Why do I say so? I'm the type of person who sweat easily on my face in this Singapore humid and warm weather. So it is always good to test if the foundation can hold on even after you sweat a bucket. So far this foundation doesn't even turn patchy after a whole day of application and running around from hot to cold places on repeat throughout the whole day. Also, this foundation have a nice smell. I can't really put a name on it to what kind of smell is it but it makes me feel happy using a product that is not too strong on the smell.
This foundation is definitely sitting on my vanity table instead of being in a bag full of testers 😍
Oh did I mention that this foundation is vegan and animal cruelty free? BONUS!! 🙆
P.s. I do set my face lightly with a setting loose powder but you can go without it too. 

That's it for today!
I hope you like my review on Nudestix Tinted Cover Foundation.

I hope to see you in my next post! 💖
