I really liked that it came with a brush. Rarely do you ever get any kind of brush with a liquid or cream foundation. But while I like the brush, I don't think its the best for this kind of foundation... However, still usable with others.
The consistency is very light, airy and moussey. It's much like the texture
you'd see with a mousse foundation such as Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse or L'Oreal Magic Souffle Foundation.
First off, I'd like to mention this is a silicone based foundation. I am not too fond of that.. to me and it does feel like light on my skin but to me it didn't seem like a light kind of foundation. My skin looked dull, and powerdy.. Something that maybe a 60 year old woman would wear. It is a medium to full coverage.
After really messing around with this foundation to make it work.. I found that when I use a good moisturizer, and my Revlon Magic Lumi Highlighting Primer, and then use my damp beauty blender.. I get a much better look.
I am just not into a ton of powder.. and when used just alone on the skin.. to me this makes it look like you are super powered. For a dry face, this highlights the imperfections on my face and shows dryness I didn't even know
existed. If you have oily skin this really might work for you because it is kinda drying if used alone.

DIRECTIONS
Apply cream concealer to any imperfection for light coverage. Apply stick
concealer for full coverage. Gently blend with roller ball or fingertip. Follow
with foundation.
As you can see this concealer
is a triple duty kind of stick. There are 3 different sections with this concealer.
On the bottom you have
a brightening/ correcting cream that has a doe foot kind of applicator and then in the middle
it has a creamy stick concealer. On the very top there is a
roller, and the purpose of it is to blur out some of the lines of demarcation as you blend in the concealer.
Here are the swatches..
As you can see the cream is on the left and the liquid is on the right. The cream is a little more yellow for correcting and the concealer stick is creamy.
Both blend really well.
I have to say I LOVE the creamy stick concealer.. One of the best ones that you can find in the drugstore. I love using it under my eyes and on any blemishes. I still prefer to blend out with a concealer brush or use my ring finger in a tapping motion.. instead of that roller ball. Its creamy so I like to set it with a little powder afterwards.
Here is my video Review..
Over all I am giving the foundation a
C
Its really just not for me. Like I said I have figured out how to make it work.. however, I have a million foundations and I just don't reach for this one often. I think this one is maybe better for oily skins. Not for dry ones.
As for the concealer I am giving it a
B
because I think it works well..I think the cream stick feels amazing under the eyes and does a great job of concealing. The cream stick alone is worth buying this for. I think the liquid concealer is pretty good too. If you have blueish circles, the yellow tone will help off set them.
I know this review is super super long. I figured it would be easier to just combine them together, but its taken forever for me to get this done!
Have any of you tried either of these?? Do you agree with my thoughts? I would love to hear from you! mrskishajaggers@gmail.com
