This is my primary purpose (outside of general experimentation, like with color) for trying absolutely everything I can.
Recently I've found what I think constitutes my new HG(s) of foundation.
Back in May, when I decided to switch to Lancome from Clinique (stupid.), Morgan decided she should show me the beauty of my new line. And while Clinique always contended that "Everything [they] know about skin care goes into [their] foundation." Rather than enticing me to try or love their foundations actually hinted that they might be as good as they're cracked up to be.
Anyway, Lancome, for me, was a revelation. I had felt "light weight" foundations (Perfectly Real, Almost M/U, etc.) And it seemed hat rather than the formula actually being light, you were just putting less on than the other products.
Which to me, is stupid, because if I wanted to wear nothing, that's what I'd do... I wouldn't bother with the foundation. Or for goodness sake I would buy a tinted moisturizer and not risk clogging my pores.
That was all pointless, my revelation: A foundation can still have coverage and feel light.
YEAH. I know.
It was amazing to me too.
Miss Morgan introduced me to Teint Idole Ultra. Not only was the foundation light enough (in color) for my sub-ivory complexion, but it felt divine.
I have been wearing this religiously ever since my introduction, and it faced no competition up until today.
Yesterday I took a (TINY) scraping of our new foundation Photogenic Lumessence. We have gotten no dramming bottles unfortunately, so my sample was highly prescious...
Fortunately, I'm glad I took it.
I put it on this evening before dinner with my mom, and I noticed a difference as soon as I started smoothing it on to my face (with my crappy mini-foundation brush that's standing in for the lost Paula Dorf, R.I.P.). My foundation felt more like moisturizer... but better. It felt kind of like skin. Is that weird?
I keep touching my face (I know, bad) and thinking: "What is this feeling?" And that's what it is-- skin.
Lumessence is meant to smooth lines and have a radiant finish, but it's still oil free! So even for my greezy face it seems to be an option. Despite this AMAZING texture I was scared that my skin would feel oily, and to my delight I encountered no more greeziness than I do on an ordinary day. Just reaaaaally wonderful coverage and skin-like texture!
Way to go Lumessence!
