Let me start by saying how nice it is to use makeup formulated (by shade and balance) for black skin tones. Even though I think I got a shade that is a bit darker than my own, it still looks better than when I get a shade too light for my tone.
First thing to love about this product: the brush applicator. Second thing: how the brush applicator is set up.
That the removable applicator brush comes with its own cap cover is handy in a couple ways: It's detached from the makeup when not in use, and I can toss the covered brush into my handbag without worrying about smears. Nice.
What do I love about the foundation? Everything. Namely:
- Goes on very lightly and evenly.
- Blends in perfectly with my skin tone (women who can buy makeup almost anywhere take this for granted).
- Is not sticky or heavy - and it doesn't smear at the casual touch. (This is a big deal with dark makeup.)
- My skin did not feel or, more importantly, look made up. It just looked, well, "perfected". No chalky/ashy look & no greasy shine.
By the way, this was not a freebie. It was a gift from someone I adore who watches my Gift List and, when he knows I'm feeling unloved, he surprises me like this. (Thanks, P. Gifts or no, you are very special!)
Now that I have found this foundation, I need to check out more things from Black Radiance. I'm just super-excited to find makeup that works for me - without adjustments or excuses.
I've been checking Amazon for more of the Black Radiance products (because I have a trial Prime membership) and will let you know if I decide to order some of their other items. Like these:
That "Warm Berry" is gonna be mine |
~sigh~ a BB cream for me. Finally. |
Don't even get me started on the eyeshadows...
So in love with that eye palette! |
I'm in ❤with makeup again. (I'm going to be contacting my local Walmart and Walgreen stores because, as of now, they are not carrying the items in Anchorage.)
Peace
