Dewy foundation for oily skin is a rare thing. It’s a rare thing for me at least! I always find that ‘glowy’ foundations more
often than not turn into oil slicks. I
have to constantly strategically powder my face to retain some glow without
looking like an oily mess. It’s almost
not worth the hassle. I’ve been trying
out the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation the last few weeks. I always manage my expectations so I’m not
swayed by claims of the product.
Back to the foundation, it’s packaged in a frosted glass
bottle and comes with a pump. It’s good
packaging, definitely a little clunky, but I like my foundation bottles to be
sturdy. I take about half a pump and
that’s enough for my full face. I would
say it’s medium to full coverage. You
might be able to get a light coverage if you mix it with moisturiser, although
I haven’t tried this. Just the formula
feels like it’s versatile enough to work with anything. It has a satin finish and wears evenly
through the day, i.e. doesn’t slide around on my face. Straight after application, my skin looks
even and has a dewy glow where you expect it.
I ever so slightly powder my t-zone.
And I mean ever so slightly.
About lunch time, it’s still there and looks even better! After about 9 hours, it gets a tad oily, but nowhere near what other
dewy foundations look like. I can still
get away with not touching up! I’ve worn
this without powdering at all and it wore beautifully all day – although it didn’t
last as long. After about 8 hours, I did
look too shiny, but considering it’s a glowy foundation – that’s a win. This foundation definitely deserves a place in my Best of Too Faced Cosmetics post.
The best thing about the Too Faced Born This Way foundation is that how
bright and awake I look. I always read
the press release after I’ve tried a product to really form my own opinion
first without bias. So that Alpine Rose
must be working! You can notice the
brightness straight after application. I
look like I’ve had 10 hours sleep and possess the best quality skin in the
world! I’m just smitten!
