I bought this over the summer when my original was out and it was one of the closest to my regulars. I guess it would be an o.k. make up for me but i would not spend the money for it when i can get just a good of a make up with Covergirl. Just way too expensive for me for the effect .
I've been using this product for about 2 weeks now, and although it feels great and love the smell..i didnt see any difference when it came to wrinkles.
I recommend it as far as foundation goes but not as a wrinkle cream
I reiceved the Marcelle New-Age Anti-Wrinkle Make-Up in Mocha, I tested it out on my hand and the first thing I noticed was the scent. It did not smell very good. I still tried it out on my face but the color was ashier than I expected. It did not work very well so I gave it to my Mom to try out. While others may have luck with this one, I would not try it again. Very disappointing.
Unfortunately there's not a lot I can say about this product, considering that the shade was about a million times too light for me. When I was notified that I would be receiving it I was a bit concerned, but when I got a bottle and the shade was called "Mocha" I had hope. I mean Mocha is a mixture of chocolate and coffee so you'd think it would definitely be brown, right? Wrong. It was more along the lines of peach.
Anyway I did use it just so I could get a feel of the texture, etc. I put it on and wore it around the house for a day. It went on smoothly and blended well. It has a nice texture and pretty good staying power. It's something I would purchase if there was a shade for me but since Mocha is the darkest shade they make I'm guessing Marcelle is not too interested in my money.
The Marcelle New-Age Anti-Wrinkle Make-Up comes in a nice, controllable dispense pump and has a smooth and medium consistency. The coverage is light, does not cover up much, and not long lasting as a result. I would say that this is closer to a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. This would work well for complexions that are very nice to begin with without any imperfections like, scaring, broken capillaries, rosacea, undereye circles, etc. Since this foundation is sheer, if you are looking to cover even minimal problem areas, this is not the foundation for you. However, using a concealer in addition to this foundation should help. Overall, this foundation is more of a tint that minimally evens out the skin's tone.
I did not see any reduction in the signs of aging as advertised.
The below is from marcelle.com:
"Two of your best beauty ingredients are combined into a single product. Concealed beneath its super silky, fluid texture are skin technology's latest discoveries replete with active ingredients to provide your skin with exceptional results."
I could not find information anywhere on the site about what the two "best beauty ingredients" are nor information on the "active ingredients" used in this product. I'm often hesitant about companies' flashy descriptions without some proof on their research or at least explicit names/descriptions of new breakthrough ingredients used in products.
Other things I would like to mention is that this foundation has some silicones in it but I have had great luck with it and it has not broken me out. It does, however oxidizes very quickly but not too excessively. I think the majority of the orange-y tint of it is due mainly to the actual colour of the foundation (I used Linen which is supposed to be a warm shade and should not have any orange in it), which along with the limited colour choice, very disappointing.
I would only recommend this foundation to people who have great skin and are looking for a sheer wash of foundation.
I received this make up to try. First of all I found there is no scent to it, which is okay with me. The pump is very easy to use. The makeup spreads on very easy and is not a heavy feeling make up. You can hardly even tell its there. Which is good and bad. For me I found it matched my skin color perfectly but almost to perfect. Because it didn't make my skin appearance look much different. It did not reduce the look of the fine lines or discoloration under my eyes I would need to use a concealer then apply the foundation. Personally I would not recommend the product if you are looking for a good coverage.
I must say it's usually quite hard to match my skin tone being that im indian im not dark or light, But i tried this foundation in Mocha and it was a really good match for me, it goes on well I would say with medium coverage I applied with a brush and it didnt streak or melt down threw out the day, It gives a nice natural look to the skin and I love the packaging very hygenic since it comes in a nice pump so you can take exactly what you need and not waste any product.
I think I'm much more critical than the other review product gals!
I'm about a NC35 in MAC and light/medium beige in Chanel foundations for color reference. I estimated I was a "Barely There" in this line and it's a bit too light. It's so hard to tell on a computer screen what is the right shade, but since the coverage of this make-up is really light, you can get away with it if you're not too far off.
Pros:
- Light coverage and very natural
- Does not oxidize/go orange as the day goes on
- I like the pump packaging to keep the product clean
- I didn't notice a scent
Cons:
- Coverage is VERY light so hyperpigmentation still shows through. If you have ANY flaws in your skin, they will show through. You have to use cover-up with this foundation.
- Limited shine control in the T-zone as the day goes on
- Because of the sheer coverage, I think this foundation looks a lot better if you layer on a pressed powder over it for a more finished look
- VERY limited shade selection - I'm surprised they only make 6, making it hard to match
- I don't notice any "anti-wrinkle" benefit - my skin is pretty smooth, but my fine lines were not any smoother using this compared to my usual foundation.
- I also think it's a huge weakness that there's no SPF - most good foundations have SPF built-in... particularly since this one is called "anti-wrinkle", it really can't prevent wrinkles unless it's got some SPF!
Perhaps I'm more critical, but I don't think this is that amazing of a product - it's very average. It's not bad, but you have to have really good skin already and not mind applying sunscreen first before this product will work for you. Because there are other more superior formulations out there AND with better shade selection, this is a pass for me.
