LA GIRL PRO COVERAGE HD ILLUMINATING FOUNDATION REVIEW

02:00:00

Hello angels,

Another week has just started off and I was just thinking about getting a good foundation which I haven’t done in long time.

Recently I have reviewed LA PRO HD BB CREAM I am already obsessed with their concealers so I picked up their LA GIRL PRO COVERAGE HD ILLUMINATING FOUNDATION.

This foundation comes in a plastic clear bottle with black cap and pump to dispense the products. The packaging to me looks like a makeup forever hd foundation simple and easy to carry.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PRO.coverage high-definition long wear illuminating liquid foundation is ideal for a flawless looking, full coverage finish. Lightweight formula is comfortable for all day wear. Paraben free formula with added anti-oxidants helps hydrate and improve the skin's appearance. Now available to extend the color range even further, an innovative white foundation mixer to adjust and customize color.

This foundation has a creamy texture which blends easily into skin. Its soft and smooth enough to spread evenly on face and gives almost flawless finish to skin.

They have 15 shades in the collection so you can get one according to your skin color.

I usually take a 1 full pump of foundation on back of my hand and dab it on my face using beauty blended or a flat kabuki brush. Also I need only 1 pump as I don’t have much acne marks or blemishes to cover. If you have more marks you may need more then 1 pump. This foundation is liquidy in consistency so its quite easy to apply on face.

It’s a illuminating foundation so for a combination skin like mine I have to apply loose powder on tzone for setting the foundation. Also you can use a matte primer. This foundation gives a dewy finish which I personally don’t like for my combination skin. But then I like that it gives glow to my cheeks area. If you have dry skin this is going to give you well hydrated flawless skin. Also it’s a medium coverage foundation you cant really build this product as it can look cakey. Try to use a concealer for covering any blemishes.

This foundation doesn’t make me look like greasy or oily but it gives a healthy glowy skin. The staying power is for 7hrs without primer also I noticed the foundation starts melting down after 6-7hrs around the nose area. So I have to set it with a compact or loose powder. My shade is NATURAL it has a warm undertone and gives my skin natural warm look. I personally didn’t wanted to go one more shade lighter as it can look sometimes too white and pale also it doesn’t blend in well. When I don’t find a perfect match for my skin tone I prefer going for warmer natural tones.

It doesn’t contain any SPF and fragrance.

OVERALL RECOMMENDED. This foundation is great for cold weather but I wouldn’t mind using in summers when you need a dewy finish. They have a good shade selection for warm undertones. I am happy to use this foundation it’s a light weight breathable and parabens free. The price is almost similar to L’Oreal foundation or any other drugstore foundation. I am blessed with good skin and coverage is not an issue for me.

Normal to dry skin women will love this foundation also women over 40’s may like it.

NEW LAKME ABSOLUTE ILUMINATING FOUNDATION REVIEW

11:36:00

Hello angels,

I was first confused when I saw Lakme absolute illuminating foundation because previously they had same packaging for white intense foundation and I still remember it was available only in 3 shades. Well here it’s the same story it has only 4 shades and when your fair toned only option for you here is Ivory Glow. Ivory glow is best suited for fair skin tone with cool undertones. But as there are no more option for fair skin this can go on warm tones too.

Now the packaging is very similar to their absolute range it comes in black glossy bottle. It has a pump which is best part. The pump helps to dispense right amount of product without any wastage. I usually need 2 complete pumps for my face & neck.

This foundation has almost similar texture and formula to white intense except I noticed some golden shimmer particles. This particles I believe is to make your skin illuminating and add some glow to face. This shimmer particles are very small and hardly anyone can notice it. Its liquid in consistency but not so watery when blended it almost feels like light weight gel based foundation. It blends effortlessly on skin. Previously white intense was giving a semi matte effect to face. And I had to use a moisturizer as it was bit drying for my skin. When compared to illuminating I like the texture far more than white intense. This foundation is not as drying as white intense but if you have normal to dry skin you still need to use your moisturizer. It gives natural glow to face. Its not a dewy foundation but imparts that glowy effect to skin. It feels ultra light and smooth on skin. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy after few hrs of application. Its comfortable to wear for whole day. For sensitive nose it has a citrus smell in it which can be bothersome. I personally love this citrus smell infact I am obsessed with this fragrance. It has pretty good staying power without having to use primer. It stays in place for 5 hrs. You really don’t need any loose powder to set as it can make it look like matte. This foundation can be used by oily skin too as its not dewy. If you are scare of this shimmer particles don’t worry it s not visible on face even after removing the complete foundation. This foundation is good to use in hot humid climate too. It has medium coverage which can be buildable. It covers pores and acne marks to some extent. It doesn’t contain spf at all so its great for flash photography.

It doesn’t settle into fine lines or crease around nose if you apply primer its going to stay for longer. Overall I liked the look it’s a natural illuminating foundation. My skin looks brighter and flawless after applying this. Only I am worried about is for dry skin it can look patchy or foundation can cling to dry patches.

For me choosing from just 4 shades is very limited I wish Lakme bring up more shades. Price is affordable when compared to L’Oreal Revlon or mac. The formula could be more dewy but for combination skin this goes well for everyday use too.
