This is my favourate foundation-ever. Its just so easily to work with, it's so effective making my skin glowing. The following are pictures of the foundation i took with my mum's phone, its the best camera quality in the house despite that the camera broke recently...
Some of the pictures on top look realy gross and tacky. Im sorry im a realy bad person at keeping my things clean. But in general thats what the foundation looks like, now im going to talk about the foundation/concealor itself for my opinions..
About the laneige foundation:
Natural transparent makeup has become the latest trend and continues to be upgraded. Accordingly, the main makeup question has become ‘which texture to use’ instead of ‘which color to use’. The foundation that breathes with skin has become the top ‘must-have’item.
To meet such needs, Laneige has applied the know-how of global makeup artists to develop a foundation light as feather and smooth as ceramic. The foundation has the concealoir at the top and you basically pull of the lid and theres your foundation. Just one pump will fill your whole face for the whole day. No touch ups throughout the day required. It gives you the perfect 'dewy' look.
Appearance/Scent:
The appearance and looks of the foundation is just amazing, its clean and fresh. Just realy plain but realy cute. It has the snow flakes represetning snow crystal. It's a good size and it just looks realy clean and fresh. The smell of the conealor and foundation is realy nice. Its a fresh lemon scent and you just get addictive with the smell (i do anyway)
Price:
I admit the foundation is pricey and it's one of the most espensive make up products i own. It cost me £37 (dont know how much that is in US dollars) for the foundation. Luckily i got it as a gift from my mum. But the price is realy high for a foundation that you take off at the end of the day. But a little goes a long way. I use half a pump because i think 1 pump is alot and i dont need that much. So i am using little by little becuase i know its exspensive. I don't use it on a regualy basis. I don't use the foundation if i know im not going out anywhere to see anyone. I will get this foundation again because it's just so good.
How i apply it:
I use my GOSH stppling brush to apply the foundation after i have preped and primed my face, the brush gives a brilliant appllication becuase it just gives the airbrushed effect which i realy like.It just glides like water on my face its so smooth and fresh. After that stage i use the concealr it has provided to cover my blemishes such as dark spots and freakles(:s). I wait for it too dry and just apply my Revlon colour stay as another concealor becuae i feel it needs more coverge on my frekles (i just hate them, its so unusal for a chinese to have freakles).
What makes this product so good:
As i have said, it just is so soft, it glides on my face perfectly giving it dewy finish with the glow. It has a honey comb structure which means it has a moisture to it. So i would just use the emulsion becuase the foundation has already got mosituring effects itself. Its so light with an amazing coverage. The concealor is a dewy concealor. Its a cream and its so nice it covers most of my imperfections. The foundation and concealor colour is the exact same so that makes it easy for it to blend...
What i dont like:
Theres always something i don't like in any product. In the thos product i just think that there isnt enough for me.. Ive had this since christmas and i have used a big quater of it now..and its only been 2 months, for the price you pay i think they could put more product in. also the concealor, in the picture above you that ive hit the pan already with the conealor. I hope they will make the concalor pan deeper. The price is something that gets me too, its pricy, maybe not for some of you but to me £37 for a foundation is pricey compared to the £6 dream matte mousse. The other thing is the concealor can get tacky... as the pictures above it looks so messy, i will adivise to use a concealor brush. Thats only 3 things i dont like realy.... But other than that.. i will re purchase and re purchase. Its just TOO good guys.
Overall:
i give this product a rating 5/5.. thumbs up to this product!!! i wil deffenatly re-purchase this product! There are 5 different shades to this prouduct, i am number 23 (sand beige)
