Photofocus foundation warm shades are too orange for me
When it first launched, I was dying to get my hands on it. After weeks of searching for it in any canadian website that sells make up, i finally found it on well.ca. It's a very affordable foundation! It looks good on photos and it has a very nice finish! Despite this i have certains problems with this foundation. One is that when you wear it on a regular day(natural make up not full glam), you can actually tell that you have foundation no matter how thinly you apply it to your face. Aside from that, it cakes up on my nose and upper lip area even if i already used a damp sponge to blend it out. Lastly, i cant seem to find a shade that's not too orange on me.
Best Drugstore Foundation
This has to be hands down the best drugstore foundation there is. The coverage is amazing! Great color range, awesome price and incredible quality. Can't recommend this enough!
I am in love with this product
I was really skeptical about this product because it was a new product that was just coming out at the time and it had the claim that it would improve your picture quality when taking selfies. I mean who doesn't love a good selfie? And I always had the problem of my face coming out wHitler than my neck in pictures so I tried it out and loved it!
I tried this product 3 different ways and every time I was left looking like I had a skin problem around my mouth. I was okay for the first hour or two but for any longer wear, with a setting spray or without, it just would separate. I would't wear this foundation if you plan to talk or you are doing any activities that require you to be physical as this seems to speed up the issues. All in all a dud.
There are not many foundations that I've raved about but this one is absolutely amazing. The colour selection is really wide and the price is very low. At 7.49 this glass bottle is so underpriced that I feel like it's a mistake. I can't believe the good quality. I really like the spatula and the actual product is full coverage. What I like the most about this foundation other than the quality is the wearability. It lasted all day and did not settle into my fine lines and wrinkles. I wore it for almost 11 hours and it looked as fresh as when I put it on..dont walk..run to your nearest store to purchase this.
I had a friend recommend the Wet n Wild photofocus foundation and I am not gonna lie, I rolled my eyes at her.
You see, I am a makeup lover and can be pretty finicky not to mention I am as pale as the moon on a well lit night... I have that #PaleGirlProblems in FULL! So to think a drugstore brand would be able to match my pale ass was a laughable joke! Most pale foundations are way too pink and just off on me in general.
I was horribly mistaken!!
This foundation, NO LIE! has become my favorite foundation. Forget that its like $7 or that its drug store or that its not a fancy high end name brand its just AMAZING!!!!
It actually matches me (porcelain) like my neck perfectly! and it also brightens up my completion so I don't look like night of the living dead!! its more yellow based than pink witch I LOVE!!!
I am oily in my t-zone and like most high end foundations the maximum life I have gotten out of it before having to blot is like 6 hours.
BUT WAIT THERES MORE!!
Added bonus I will throw in for you!
I work out at the gym and I sweat like its my job... I am disgusting I've accepted this; I got lazy one night and didn't take off my makeup and even after blotting sweat away from my face with a towel and literally sweating profusely (Like I don't thing you fully get how much I sweat think of a lot and then times that by like 1000 lol)
my foundation remained in tact, granted not like perfect after application but toats passable, and it was more than 12 hours after the fact!!
Trust me!! try this foundation you shant regret it! and even if some off chance that you do (lets say horrendously Sahara desert dry skin) it's $7 bucks!!!
Pro tip:
I apply mine with a damp beauty sponge and set with a translucent powder in my oily areas
FINALLY A DRUGSTORE FOUNDATION THAT MATCHES MY VERY FAIR SKIN. The past few years I have used foundations at Sephora because no drugstore brands carried a shade that was light enough for my skin and didn't look orange (I am VERY fair). This foundation also gives a great medium-full coverage and is really buildable to get full coverage. Lasts all day long without breaking up or creasing on me which I also love!
Great affordable foundation! If you don't have the money to spend on a high end foundation then I really recommend picking this one up. It gives a full coverage and a beautiful finish! The only thing that I don't like is that even though I have dry skin, this foundation tends to go oily on me throughout the day even if I powder it.
This foundation is an excellent drugstore foundation that doesn't hurt the wallet. The scent is a little off-putting but goes away once dry. Quality is pretty decent. Coverage is buildable. Many colour options which is excellent (even many for fair skinned people). I will purchase again for sure. For my combo skin type I do need to layer, prime, and set/finish.
This foundation has really great coverage..also has a good variety of shades A little bit goes a long way..easy to blend and you can build it up for fuller coverage doesnt cake up
