Product Review: Fashion Fair Perfect Finish Cream Makeup

 I was super excited when my Fashion Fair package arrived! I hadn't been in tune with the brand since the launch of the Sam Fine Collection and could't wait to see what was next.  This will be a series of product reviews that will also feature the NEW collection: Eyes Wide Shut inspired by  Tia Dantzler.  You'll have to stay tuned for that!

 

Why I Love Perfect Finish Cream Makeup?

I'm in love with the texture.  It's one of those creams that kind of fits in the middle.  It's not too smooth that it won't stay in place, but it's still movable.  It doesn't take much and offers a medium to full coverage depending on application. Tender is my perfect match, literally! It's a warm with neutral undertones.

Get your perfect finish!

For a luminous finish formula, it wears very well.  The first few weeks I didn't prep my skin and was shocked by the results.  I didn't use any moisturizer or oily control products.  I wanted to see just how well it would wear and I was very surprised by the results.  I couldn't believe it!!! I got a ton of compliments on how smooth my skin looked.  Some days I used a little or and found that touching up by "tissue blotting" was the same.  I set the foundation with MAC Mineralized Skinfinsh in Deepest Dark and oh honey, I was in love!

Final Thoughts:

The Perfect Finish Cream Makeup has become one of my favorites.  I simply love the look of this foundation.  After wearing it with no skin prep products, I moved on to using a moisturizer and a oil control primer by NYX and the finish was the same.  I would advise not to use too much moisturizer if you're an oily or combination skin type.  I did notice that I had to blot a little more during the application but it wasn't excessive.  If you have any hyperpigmentation, I think the Perfect Finish would be a great product to use.  At first dab, you're back to an even tone. A little certainly goes a long way.

Cream, Liquid or Powder:YOUR SKIN DECIDES!

Knowing your skin type is

YOUR GUIDE

to choosing

THE PERFECT FORMULA..

How to determine YOUR skin type:

Normal Skin
Even complexion
Neither too oily or too dry
Pores appear small in size
Few breakouts or minimal to no acne

Oily Skin
All-over shine
Pores appear large or open
Blemishes: blackheads/whiteheads
Minimal lines and wrinkles

Combination Skin
T-zone is oily
Cheeks may appear dry
Pores in the chin and cheek area appear enlarged/open

Dry Skin
Pores are almost undetected
Skin looks and feels dry
Some areas may appear flaky

How to determine YOUR formula:

My personal favorite is Cream Foundation. It is buildable and provides a creamy consistency that is perfect for dry skin. Creams work to lock in moisture, minimize pores and can add a dewy glow to the skin.  Cream can be applied with your fingers, a sponge or brush.

Stick Foundation also falls under the category of a cream formula. It is very similar in consistency to cream foundation. It is a very quick and easy formula to use. You can just apply it directly to your skin from the tube. It is great for spot correction to the complexion.



Liquid Foundation is the most common formula used among women. It can be used for all skin types and is universal. It can also be purchased in oil-free, and waterproof formulas. Liquid can be applied with a sponge or brush.

Powder Foundation is a smooth formula and provides a great flawless look for oily skin. The ingredients of the powder help to absorb the oil and keep you dry and smooth. Do not confuse powder foundation with pressed finishing or setting powders. They are not the same and they serve different purposes. Powder Foundations can be applied using a powder puff or a brush, which gives the best application.
