Make-up review: Essence Insta Perfect & Wet n Wild Photo focus foundation
Today I decided to make another make-up review.
This is something like a first impressions, and full a day wear test. After I mix it with other foundations, I will definitely make another review!
Essence Insta Perfect
The palest shade is 10, and it does not oxidase a lot, so it's ideal for characters with pale skin. Undertone is cold, a little bit pink.
Application was not bad, and foundation did not catch any dry patches on my skin (but you still need to use some moist cream or base under this make-up, since it's matte, and matte foundations tends to be more drying). I recommend to work on smaller areas, and not applying more layers when it's already set. I also used fixing powder & spray on the top, even tho the finish looked nice - this way all the powder products I used on the top (contour, higlighter) were blending smoothly.
I was wearing it for about 8 hours, and that's where I got kinda disappointed. First few hours (4-5) it look untouched, like if I just applied it, but after that it started breaking down a little, and in the end I was pretty oily on my T-zone.
The coverage was abut light to medium, buildable, but not for many layers. You can't build it to the full coverage, but solid medium it is, if you you use a full coverage concealer under the foundation, it ends up looking very good.
On the other hand, when you don't have extra oily skin type, this foundation can be very nice!
Wet n Wild Photo focus
Very affordable foundation that majority od the people likes. That's what you can find when you search for more informations of this guy.
For very long time, poor people of the Slovak Republic did not have an opportunity to buy wet n wild products. Since this brand is an American drugstore brand, and the official page ships only to American countries, I was waiting every year, like a little kid under the tree on the Christmas, when the brand starts shipping to the Europe. And guess what. The page is still not shipping worldwide. Disappointed...
But the point is - you can already found this foundation on the UK pages, that does ship to the Europe, and even tho prices are little higher and shade range is EXTREMLY LIMITED, you can still have some masterpieces from this affordable brand.
..And this foundation is one of them. Blends nice, medium to high coverage, pretty nice finish, and as the name says - o flashback on photos!
I wore it for my Chuuya cosplay for about 10 hours, and the foundation still looked good on the end of the day! Seriously! I was touching my face, I was eating, travelling, and pieces of the wig was sliding on my face.
Also I love the shade I bought. It's called Soft Ivory, and have a slightly yellow (warm) undertone - just like Chuuya's face. It will be too dark for very pale characters, but you can still mix it with a white foundation mixer if you want (or adjust a shade undertone with lavender mixers/concealers).
The only thing that made me search for another foundation is the fact that after a few hours it made lines around my mouth. But this is very uncommon problem that not many people have, and it happens to me only with matte (or semi-matte) foundations. So if you do not have this experience with other matte foundations, it most likely won't happened to you (lucky).
Since I made many photos of Chuuya, there they are:
(ps: I used filters, but you can at least see the foundation tone on the different types of the light)
Swatches on my arm:
first: Essence Insta perfect (shade 10), second: Wet n wild Photo Focus (Soft Ivory), last: Etude house Big cover BB (Vanilla)
Blended swatches:
A small compare to the lightest shade of Makeup revolution's Conceal and define concealer - shade 0,5 - which is very pink-toned
