I've always been curious about this product, because I had seen many
reviews about it online by many beauty bloggers. It seems like a great idea--
foundation, concealer, and highlighter in one convenient (and cute!) package.
I bought this in no.1 Silky Skin, which is supposed to be equivalent to
a no.21 in most brands. First thing I have to say though-- I wear a no.21 in
other brands, yet this one seems lighter in shade. I can still wear it, but it
can look a little unnatural if I'm not careful. It's also a little gray, so it
makes it look even paler. I'd say this is a bit closer to no.13 rather than
no.21, and would suit people with NC15 shade skin in MAC (I'm between NC15 and
NC20).
Despite the light color, I think this is a great product. The BB
foundation lasts all day and gives me a flawless finish (I mix a small drop of
a darker foundation with this to balance out the color to make it look more
lively on me). The BB foundation is thick, like the consistency of pudding, but
I apply it with a Beauty Blender for the most natural finish. It can be applied
with fingers too, but I think using a Beauty Blender or sponge would give the
nicest finish.
The concealer is also quite light in shade, but surprisingly it works
perfectly for me without looking out of place. it also lasts really long and
stays put on my skin. The highlighter I admit I don't use very much, but I've
tried it and it gives a nice subtle glow that looks natural. It has to be said
though, that the highlighter is a bit more pink-based, so if your skin is
yellow-toned like me, it may not be the best match. It'll work, but it may not
look as natural as it would on someone with pink-toned skin.
The packaging is adorable and compact, and great for traveling. The
bottom portion of the package opens up to dispense the BB foundation, which you
scoop out with a paddle. This may prove to be troublesome later on when trying
to scoop out the last bits of BB foundation, but no other packaging would work
with this consistency of foundation. The top of the bottle has a flip-top cap
which houses the concealer and highlighter, as well as a mirror. Overall, the
packaging is cute yet classy and very sturdy. I've dropped it quite a few times
yet it didn't break.
I really love this, so I do plan to get a second bottle... but I think
I'll try no.2 next time instead, since that seems a little yellower. All of the
products work for my combination-dry, sensitive skin, so I am one happy girl ^^
three great products for under $20 (when on sale).... it's a really great deal!
It's a nice thing to have, if you can match your skin tone to one of their
three shades ^^
