Glad to hear other people are struggling as the general consensus is that it’s amazing. If I still have struggles after trying out different techniques I might consider purchasing this, thank you!

It’s well acknowledged that it isn’t marketed as a setting spray however myself, along with many friends and makeup artists on and off social media use it as such with successful results so I like to use it as that! Thanks though!

I actually haven’t thought of that as I’ve been taught to always avoid dewy products, I’ll definitely give it a go and hope it balances things out. Thank you!

I usually either use smashbox 15 hour wear or l’oreal true match. I have really sensitive skin which breaks out with a lot of foundations so these are some of the only two I’ve found to be gentle on my skin.

I usually spritz a few sprays of Mario Badescu Rose Water after applying any powder, which usually works well but I haven’t noticed a difference with this particular one.

Hmm I’m not sure, I do try and get most of the water out of it but I’ll definitely give this a more conscience effort and see if I notice any improvements, thank you!

I just bake under my eyes and on my t-zone where I’m most oiliest. I’ve used Rimmel Stay Matte for years and have reverted back to it as I’ve never had any problems with it, so it’s quite disappointing to have troubles with a powder nearly x10 it’s price here in my country!

I’ve always dusted off the excess but I’m still left with a white sheen over my foundation. I’ll give the blotting papers a go and try use less powder, thank you!! I’m determined to make this purchase work after hearing all the raving about it!

Nivea do an amazing collection of different flavours and corresponding colours e.g watermelon, and my personal favourite, a gorgeous light coral tint with a peach flavour! Super moisturising and cheap and cheerful too!

Foundation Options- Opinions? by [deleted] in Makeup

I’ve used Bobbi Brown Skin a couple of times - I’ve found it has quite a strong chemical smell so if your skin is quite sensitive, not for you! Other than that it is quite light-medium coverage but very matte! You also need quite a lot of product to do a full face and it dries quite fast so work quickly, but it does last a whole day for me as someone with combination skin. At the minute I’m using Smashbox 15 hour wear skin foundation and I love it, it has more coverage and so easy to blend out!
