Pür 4-in-1 Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer (30ml for $36)
I first came across this foundation when Tati was reviewing it and she absolutely loved it. So, of course, being hopeful, I got it as well. This foundation comes in 100 shades-- you read it right. Mine is LN2 (I managed to quickly match myself at Ulta, and I am surprised that I managed to pick my shade just from swatching on my hand). As @notkitchenqueen kindly demonstrates in the video, it comes both with a pump and a doe foot applicator (if you want to use it as a concealer). I personally use the doe foot applicator for foundation purposes-- works perfectly. One very light coat gives medium coverage, and in photo 2, you see my skin without any filter. I use a sponge to spread the foundation evenly around the face-- a very quick and easy process. It is amazing that this foundation protects against blue light exposure and is also packed with some really good stuff. But how does it wear? First of, reminder: my skin is normal right now, not dry nor oily. For the first hour, this foundation is absolute heaven (whether you set it with powder or spray). Then... well, then, hmmm...it starts doing "stuff". First, you start seeing some dry texture, which then kind of disappears as the foundation starts mixing up with your natural oils. For an additional hour, it's fine. Then! It starts separating on your chin, around your mouth, you start getting dry patches around your lower cheek area, the cheeks themselves become more oily. Basically, the foundation, slowly but surely starts disintegrating at different paces on your skin. I am not sure for whom this foundation is suitable. I mean, I am not oily, but this foundation made me look super dewy, so I can't actually imagine it looking good on oily skin. On dry skin, on the other hand? Nope, it creates dry patches when you don't have any dry patches to start with. I want to like it, but it's hard, really hard. If I want to go out for a short while, then I can use it, but for a whole day? Definitely not.
