First off, I have very oily skin. It has improved now because of my updated skin regimen, but it's still oily nonetheless. This foundation is water-based, unlike most foundations which are oil-based and clogs your pores. This foundation is absolutely divine because it glides on smoothly to your skin, it's easy-drying, it's SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT -- it feels like nothing's on top of your skin. I just love the texture of it. So this is really the only foundation I can use here in the Philippines for the daytime. To make it easier for reading, I'll list the pros and cons in bullet form like a good beauty blogger does (joining the bandwagon. hehe)
PROS:
- lightweight, almost feathery feel
- water-based (does NOT clog pores so no oily-ness throughout the day)
- matches my shade perfectly, their lightest shade is not too pale for me
- does not oxidize
- small, compact size so it's easy to fit in the make-up case
- buildable in coverage
- the skin can breathe because of it's consistency (and because it's water-based)
CONS
- because it's water-based, the coverage isn't much.
- and that minimal coverage doesn't last long if you're sweaty, though mine stayed put for hours even though I was literally sweating like a pig
For me, who has oily skin and who sweats quite a lot, very easily, I would give this foundation a 4.5/5. I just love it for everyday use. It may even trump my bb cream (because it feels so heavy and oily on the face). Who knows? I'll update this blog with photos of myself when I get the chance to photograph myself with this foundation on.
In conclusion, for those who have oily skin, this baby's the one for you! I just love, love, LOVE it. <3
