Anti Imperfection Foundation
Wanted a product that would give me a good coverage for my sun damaged skin. this worked very well at covering signs of damage and again. Only draw back , you have to be careful, as it is quite liquid.
I would buy this product again
jolie produit je le recommande certes, la texture et un peu fluide mais donne un bel effet au visage et cache les imperfections et les taches du visage
I really was impressed with this product. It went on my skin well and at a time when I was having issues with breakouts on my face, it definitely seemed to provide the cover I wanted without adding to the problem. It may have helped even to reduce the issue, however, I can't say for sure as I did change a few other things in my routine to try and eliminate acne. This is one of those products where I actively scraped every last bit of it out to use. Part of that was because of the high cost that I felt I had to justify paying, but it really did work well as a foundation. Coverage was flawless, it blended efficiently, and you didn't need much to get the job done. Still, the cost was a lot more than I can really afford to pay regularly (it shoes the average price as $26, but up in Northern Canada where I live it was priced at almost $50). So, I will be searching out a replacement product that either gives me more quantity of an equal product for the same price, or the same amount for less. If price is not an issue for you, I highly recommend trying this out!
This foundation works very well. It is very light, watery consistency with good coverage and doesn't clog my pores. My skin looks natural and has SPF 20.
I appreciate the range of tints in this line; I found one that matched my summer-tanned skin perfectly. The product covers imperfections, but does so lightly without a weighted affect on the skin. However, the texture of the product is very runny. It comes out of the tube in liquid form, which makes it very difficult to apply with a make-up sponge. This is ideal for mixing it into a sunscreen, moisturizer or thicker-based foundation, but not to apply on its own. Gives the skin a very smooth, if not somewhat chalky feel after it is applied.
I have tried many different foundations over the years and have always ended up switching one product with another as they either didn’t work for me or even worse, worsened my sensitive skin. That all changed when I decided to give this foundation a try. I have combination skin that is somehow sensitive and some foundations gave me blemishes or clogged my pores. Luckily for me this foundation is very easy to use, gives me excellent coverage and covers any imperfection smoothly and evenly without the heavy feeling some foundations are all about. The price is a little bit higher than what I would normally pay for foundation but very much worth it. There are only two issues with the product that I found very easy solutions for:
1. I apply a light coverage of mineral powder on top of the foundation in order to keep my skin from starting to go too shiny after 3-4 hours
2. I use a little bit of color all over my face as there aren’t too many shades of the foundation and while the palest is a little pale for me, the next shade is too yellow for my face color.
Having said that, I am happy that my skin condition has improved and I have used this foundation exclusively for the last year. I will recommend this for everyone that can find the right shade for their skin.
Like many others out there, throughout my late teens and early 20's I bought lower-end brands of makeup such as Cover Girl because they were cheap and got the job done. However, in my late 20's my skin became very oil prone and my usual concealers and foundations started giving me bumps and acne. After applying makeup in the morning, even with concealer and powder, my face was shiny as a mirror by mid-day, and I would have to pile up the powder two or three times a day.
One day at the store I was looking for a "hard-core" concealer to hide my new face bumps and I came upon the Vichy Dermablend Skin Concealer. For me, spending more than $15.00 on makeup was unheard of since I am a thrifty shopper, but I was willing to "splurge" on this concealer because I was part of a Wedding Party and I didn't want my red spots to show in pictures. Long story short, the Vichy Concealer was *amazing*. It covered all the spots thoroughly, lasted for ages (over 8 hrs), and a tiny dot was enough to cover any blemishes. I loved this product so much that I decided to invest on the Vichy Foundation too and my experience was extremely positive.
The Vichy NormaTeint Foundation is much lighter than the concealer but the coverage is really excellent. It starts of liquid but very quickly it sets and matte-fyes on your face. I thought the product was expensive at first but after using it I changed my mind. The product can sustain long-term wear (8-10 hours), lasts for a long time (one tube, around 6 months), and it improved my skin condition tremendously. After I tried this product, I had no more re-applying and no more shinyness.
For those of you hesitant about this product, I can tell you that it is worth spending the 20 to 30 dollars it costs rather than throw away 3 different packs of 12.00 cheap foundations because your face is an oily and pimpled mess. Its more pricey, but its worth it! And its much better than other pricier foundations you can get at Department Stores (such as Dior, etc. which can be $50 to $80). I believe this product is also non-comedogenic and allergy free, but double check since sometimes formulations and labeling vary by country.
If you want to try it out at first, approach the makeup counter at Shopper's Drug Mart (Canada) and ask for a sample. They don't advertise the samples much, but you can totally get small tryout sachets to match the shade to your skin. Since you're gonna drop more money than you would on a lower-end product, I'd really encourage everyone to ask for a sample.
Overall, I found the Vichy Norma Teint foundation to be an excellent product that did not worsen the condition of my skin and gave me a go-to foundation within my price range. Super Buy! Try It Out!
I spent most of my late 20's getting acne caused from overactive sebaceous cysts. I didn't have acne growing up and this wasn't something I was used to. A friend recommended the Vichy line and I used the Normaderm face wash. I wasn't a fan but started experimenting with other products. I since exclusively use Vichy for my skin care. I LOVE it! I still don't use the Normaderm face wash but I use other Normaderm products such as the toner and night cream. However, I suppose that this entry is about the NormaTeint. I am in love with this product. I first found it in the UK and it has recently started selling in Canada in Shopper's Drug Mart and London Drugs. It has a very light feel and gives you a matte finish. It does not cover your natural features and lasts all day. I never get build up from the product and I apply it with the bristle brush from MAC Makeup which I also love. This product is top notch and the container is 30ml but lasts me about 6 months or so. Because of the natural coverage, it is not necessary to use a lot of the product. I hightly recommend this foundation for natural, comfortable coverage.
