Does The Smashbos Studio Skin Foundation Oxidize At All

smashbox15hourfoundationbottle

I rarely do foundation reviews on the weblog, because a:

Foundations react differently to different peel types, peel conditions but chiefly to our skincare

So call up, this is my experience with this foundation. A bit about my skin

My skin is combination, I have an oily T-Zone, mainly in the blazing South African summer. My pare is dry on the rest of my face up. Information technology is oft dehydrated. I have grinning lines, zippo besides hectic. I don't have enlarged pores buy they are visible on the side of my olfactory organ. I e'er apply a primer always and dab pore minimizing primer to areas of concern.

Another fact is that Any foundation I wearable oxidizes on me. Sometimes information technology happens in a few minutes and goes a shade or ii darker and other times it tin can become up to FIVE times darker. It turns carmine. When Yellow and Crimson mix, you lot go orange, add in some brown and you stop up with, well, mud.

Coupled with that, my face is much darker than my body, so I match my foundation to my neckband bone. Sometimes, I merely can't be asked and then I match it to my jaw and hope for the best.

Some foundations just blot into my skin, non in the way where it looks like I'1000 wearing sheer coverage, no, no, no . . . It'southward like putting on moisturiser. My friends seen it happen, legit, true story.

Know that you empathise my skin, let's get into the review.

I have been on the watch for a foundation to film my YouTube videos. My HG Estee Lauder Double Clothing flashes dorsum on photographic camera, horribly, so I asked my subscribers in my final video for a foundation recommendation.

Ane of my subbies recommended I endeavor foundation from Smashbox.

This made sense every bit Smashbox products are created in their LA studios, so it would await skillful on camera. This hydrating foundation was formulated to look and experience amazing for 15 hours.

After reading that the Smashbox Studio Skin xv-hour article of clothing Hydrating Foundation was voted The Hydrating Cover of 2016 by GLAMOUR Magazine,I got the shade 3.1. The shade has a beautiful yellow tone.

Smashbox created this foundation to await expert in any low-cal. They pride themselves as being the just make with a Flashbox Lighting Lab, where they test and perfect colour consistency beyond 22 shades.

The claims:

Medium-to-full buildable coverage: NO. This is sheer to medium, buildable to medium to total. But it requires lots of building. I like my foundations to exist total coverage and I had to put 4 layers on to get a fuller coverage, but my freckles nevertheless showed through.

Oil-gratuitous, hydrating formula – without the polish: YES, AND NO. has a sticky consistency, perhaps that was the 'hydration they were talking almost? This is not a matte foundation, it has a glow. It is also a very liquidy foundation, so your beauty blender volition soak it up.

Calorie-free diffusing spheres blur imperfections – YES, I hold to the extent that it didn't make my pare look worse.

Sweat & humidity resistant – NO – I got oily on my T-Zone

Colour-truthful, exercise-resistant & transfer-proof – NO – The foundation oxidized on me, merely that could be me. It oxidized in a few minutes. It can't be do resistant if it'due south not sweat-proof. I will say that information technology doesn't transfer equally much as my regular foundations.

The pros are that at that place are 22 shades, from pale to deep.

What it'due south formulated WITHOUT Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Phthalates, Fragrance and Oil

I used a Flat Foundation Castor and applied it in thin layers on to my skin. I and so used a Kabuki Style round top brush and buffed it into my skin. As I built it, it because stickier. I ordinarily only use two layer of whatever foundation at virtually and the second layer simply where I need extra coverage. This is definitely non full coverage. It dries downwards fast only still feels tacky though it is set. I had to grit some pulverisation over top after application. All the same, it didn't get cakey despite the building upwardly of the product.

Another positive is that I could highlight under my eyes without my foundation lifting, which happens to me when I use my Eastwardstee Lauder DW dries down and I apply my concealer over acme.

I got a good 9 hours' clothing, sorry, I couldn't wear it for 15 hours and apart from having to powder it once, the foundation lasted. It also didn't assemble around my nose. Apart from feeling tacky, which tin can be sorted out by dusting a light layer of powder over the foundation to prepare it.

Last THOUGHTS

Overall, if foundation doesn't oxidize on you lot and you adopt sheer-medium coverage foundation, this is a good bet. It looks swell in pictures and information technology is long lasting. In terms of hydration, it did not settle into fine lines and looked good.

The best part was that I put on my concealer and my foundation didn't elevator. I may accept to get a lighter shade, probably match information technology to my collarbone, but I would repurchase because it doesn't flashback, even if it ways me packing on the layers. Large upwardly to Smashbox for catering to such a diverseness of skin tones. That's a large plus in my book.
