You have no idea how wonderful it is to FINALLY find an affordable foundation that matches my skin tone PERFECTLY. As a "woman of a certain age" (let's leave it at that!) my only choices when I first started wearing makeup were the only department store foundation made exclusively for Black women (before there was ever Fenty) or settle for weird looking drugstore foundation matches. And who would have thunk it would be a South Korean makeup company that would finally match my skin tone all these years later!I purchased shade 40N and 43N (at the time the two darkest TIR TIR shades). I got 43N because it was what a You Tube influencer that I follow used (MissDarcei) who is my exact shade in both summer and winter. When I heard that the foundation oxidizes a shade darker, I went with 40N first. As it turns out, 40N will work great for my winter shade.There are tutorials on You Tube on how to best apply this foundation to get the best results. Robert Welsh is a great place to start.As far as wear goes, I have done makeup tests with the foundation on my face bare skin and without primer and with skin care prep, and it looked as good as it did when I put it on. I wore this foundation for up to 12 - 15 hours each time, and the only thing that happened was that I did start looking a little "dewy" in my T-zone around hour 10, but nothing that a quick dab of powder wouldn't fix. The foundation never separated, never looked cakey, and didn't fill in any lines. It also played nicely with my concealer, etc.1. It didn't separate even after almost 15 hours, which was the day I wore it just on my face and with nothing else on underneath it.2. It didn't settle into my laugh lines or any fine lines.3. There was very minimal transfer, and what transferred were things like blush and highlight. The foundation itself had practically no transfer.4. The longer it was on my face, the better it looked, and it looked fantastic to start. Plus my skin looked great when I removed it.5. It stayed on my face until I took it off, and this was even through gardening, running errands, and going out into a heat wave.IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER:1. DON'T keep constantly keep pressing into the foundation. When they say a little goes a long way, they mean it. Press the applicator LIGHTLY once into the cushion so that you can barely see the foundation on the applicator. If you can see it, tap the excess off on the inside of the cover. It is buildable, so start with a very light layer, which will be more than enough to do your whole face. You should be able to lightly press into the compact and use that little bit to cover your whole face, and if you miss a spot or two, pick up the excess that you wiped on the inside cover and use that.2. If the foundation looks cakey or orange, you applied WAY too much to the pad and piled the excess right onto your face. The more you apply in the very first application, the more it will oxidize and give you cake-face.3. DON'T drag the applicator sponge across your face. That's another reason why you have cake face and look like an Oompa-Loompa. TAP the sponge into your face, starting from the center and work outward.4. DO NOT use a foundation brush or beauty blender to apply this foundation. This will also give you cake-face because you're using too much foundation all at once.4. SKIN PREP IS KEY! I have combo/oily skin, so I did my skin prep (clean skin, moisturizer, primer for oily skin), let it sit and soak in for 5-10 minutes, and then applied this foundation. If you have oily skin, set this foundation with powder.5. Wait for the foundation to set before you apply anything on top of it. It dries down fast, especially if you apply it the right way.6. Go a shade lighter than you think you'll need. Even with the light application, it does oxidize like any other makeup does. It will oxidize a shade darker. And again, if you put on too much, you will turn orange.I had no breakouts or flaky skin anywhere with this foundation. I think the people having problems with this foundation should address it through their skin prep. Of course there are people who will be allergic and who can't use the foundation, but I think the majority of people complaining about how the foundation looks don't know how to apply it correctly.TL:DR - Absolutely love this foundation; 10 out of 10 would recommend.UPDATE AND EDIT ON 8/27/2024:TL:DR - I still like this foundation, but I got one of the recent shade updates (45W Chestnut), and it was a swing and a miss. I got a bit darker than anticipated because - SUMMER- and was really excited that a warm shade had come out. I pre-ordered it, got two compacts of the new shade b/c I remembered how quickly they sold out, and got one of the first batches.Way, WAY too red. And when it oxidized, my face was two shades darker than my ears! Even after applying the foundation using the techniques I outlined earlier.Do I still like the product? Yes. I like the coverage, I like the wear-ability, I like how it feels on my skin. But if you're still listening, Tir-Tir, please make warm AND cool shades, especially in the deeper skin tones. POC have different undertones, and not all dark people have red undertones.I appreciate that you've been receptive to our requests thus far, but you're almost there with the shade range! Keep going, and like they say in K-Dramas, Fighting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coverage without the heavy feeling

Love how light this feels on my skin yet how good the coverage it provides is! Usually products with great coverage feel heavy on my skin and I look forward to just taking them off but with this I can keep it on my skin all day, look natural and not feel weighed down. I only need a little dab for my whole face and it blends super smooth and easy without any sticky feeling. It will be a regular in my make up routine!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good trial and travel size makeup

I liked it enough to buy the full size version too. The coverage is good, plenty of pigment, buildable. Love the matte finish. It’s not very blendable so a little goes a long way, and you need a great primer to keep it from settling into fine lines and pores. The biggest issue with the mini is the size of the applicator. It’s awkward. I’m not an oily girl but I do still need a blotting sheet around lunchtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little goes a long way

My daughter turned me on to this product. She is a teen with oilier skin than myself so was not sure it would be right for me. This is a matte finish but does not look dry. Do not press hard into the product, a little goes a long way and it's very buildable. I dab it on with the included sponge and then wipe the product down. It has excellent coverage and looks very smooth. It stays on all day and I have received many compliments on my "skin". I have mild rosacea, it hides redness very well without looking cakey.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, not amazing

I found that I did not care for this foundation. It seemed unreasonably hyped all over YouTube.It does not stay on my face throughout the day and does not hold up to other tried and true brands, especially for oily skin. I found the packaging very environmentally unfriendly. It's a lot of plastic for a tiny amount of product. It lasts about a month with light applications and daily use. That makes this the most expensive foundation I've ever purchased.It's gimmicky. There is nothing special about the "cushion," which is just literally a makeup sponge that soaks up the liquid foundation. I find all cushion foundations to be gimmicky, though, but was willing to try this one anyway since it was so highly reviewed. The pink version lasts longer on my face but is just as expensive (don't buy the small version, you will only get a handful of applications!).Does it look good after application? Yes. It covers well, medium to full coverage. It doesn't look cakey, thick, or uneven with a good application using either the provided sponge or a foundation brush. So, while it goes on great, by the end of the day it has disappeared off my face, or what is left is a blotchy mess. I've tried applying with different tools and with/without primers of various kinds, and the results are always similar for me.Is it worth it? For me, no. I got 9 months of applications from my last bottle of Dior Forever Matte. Estee Lauder is another tried and true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coverage with a small amount!

I have bought so many powder compacts and foundations in the past 6 months trying to find something fast, easy, and with good coverage. I just put on a suuuper thin layer (you barely need to touch the sponge thing to the make-up to get a good amount), and it went on fast, blended well and looks really good! I use infallible by L’Oréal and literally put it on the back of my hand and held it to the pics to find the right color and it matched super well. I’m really working on my skin tone (dry with melasma and rosacea), and this thin layer covers great! I’ll probs use a blender at some point if I think the sponge is gross but I might try and clean it too. Overall super recommend!

Je trouve qu'il est excellent tient je l'adore je recommande vivement

For me, it's good.

The hype is real but slightly overrated, for me, I liked it a lot. Very nice product for minimal makeup folks, not for glamouristas.

Ojo es mini a precio de la normal

M. · November 29, 2024

Me gustó la base pero puedes encontrar la de tamaño normal con otro vendedor y al mismo o mejor precio, me parece que es una estafa por el contenido de esta presentación que te durará unas 6-8 veces, busca otro vendedor. Obviamente es mi error no haber tenido esa observación inicialmente por eso les comparto esta opinión.

El producto cumple, sin embargo no fue para mi.

J.R. · November 15, 2024

Me encantó el producto, el empaque tal cual como dice y creo yo que el tono si me quedó bien. La cobertura la senti bien ,lamentablemente no es para mi creo que debio de haber causado algun ingrediente alergia porque me salieron brotes y senti mucha comezón. De igual manera puede servirle a alguien más.

Comoda
