Shopping for foundation as a woman of color is toughand I know from experience.
I often start with the darkest shade, and sometimes even that’s too light.
Keep reading to find out which ones topped our list.
This product was a light liquid formula that was fantastic to use.
The texture was silky, and it went on great.
Also, I tend to touch my face a lot.
So, every time I wear foundation I feel like I get it everywhere.
Not too thick and easy to blend into my skin using aBeautyBlender.
And it really stayed put.
Id wear this one again, especially for an evening out.
This was my first time doing a full face of foundation.
But I was pleasantly surprised with how light this foundation felt.
Since this was my first time, I put about 14 dots on my face and blended.
By the end of the day, I had foundation EVERYWHEREon my hands, phone, shirt, pants.
I never noticed how much I touch my face throughout the day.
Now, I just use it under my eyes to cover dark circles, and its great!
So when I heard that the company was coming out with foundation, I was psyched to try it.
I chose this foundation because it blended flawlessly with my skin tone.
I was a little wary of the stick at first.
Its also SO easy to apply, you dont even really need a brush.
The coverage is light-to-medium and it looked flawless on seteven with the strong ring light blasting in my face.
I am a makeup junkie, and I have tried just about every brand of foundation known to man.
Once I pump a small amount out of the bottle I move quickly to blend it into my skin.
But a benefit of the quick-drying liquid is that it will stay put all day long.
So there’s no need for me to layer on any setting powder if I don’t have time.
And I can even skip concealer since the Kat Von D option is so pigmented.
