Here is my skin without makeup. I have a nice whopping zit above my brows. It's PERFECT to test foundation coverage ;)
Here is my skin with 1 layer of foundation. It did a good job concealing redness around my nose and on the zit.
Here is my skin with 2 layers of foundation. Flawless I must say! It gives a smooth demi-matte finish. It didn't feel heavy at all either. I went on about my day without setting the foundation with powder or setting spray.
I wanted to see if the Naked Skin foundation was flash friendly. The top photo is in a well lit natural light area, while the second photo is in a dim area. I find that it does have a slight white cast with flash :( Keep in mind this is with 2 layers of foundation. I'm not sure if this would happen with just one layer.
Four hours later my skin still looks the same as it did after applying the foundation! Keep in mind I have oily-combination skin. Most of the oiliness comes from my T-zone.
And here is my skin by the end of the day 9 hours later. I'm surprised my zit is still concealed! I did however notice my skin getting shiny. Although I was shiny, it didn't look or feel greasy!
Overall, I say this is a must-have foundation that is great for everyday! The price sure is expensive, but the quality is there. Watch my full first impression review below!
There are three adjustable settings: light, medium, and high coverage. Personally I don't think this is useful. I used the foundation on low coverage and to my surprise it sprayed out like it was high coverage! I didn't even bother testing the high coverage.
The directions say to hold the foundation 10 inches away from the face. Here's my reaction to my first spritz. It wasn't pretty and sure as heck didn't smell great either! It smelled like a can of spray paint D:
I had to spray some on my hand because the foundation at the top of the bottle didn't settle well on my skin.
And here comes round two. The application again wasn't pretty. It got all over my hair and even my dress. Next time I use this, i'll just spray the foundation on my hand first, then apply with a brush. I just wanted to show how to apply the foundation as the instructions recommend. I was however impressed by the coverage and finish.
Here I am full-faced makeup. It may not look it in the photo or video, but in person the shade did oxidize a reddish/orange tint that looked a shade or two darker than my skin tone.
And here is the before and after six hour later. The foundation stayed put! It worked so well with my oily-combination skin which I was very pleased. I'd have to say the only major downside to this foundation is the color selections. I'm hoping they'll come out with more shades soon. Otherwise, I don't see myself wearing this on myself, but possibly on my clients.
By the way, I've gotten lots of compliments on my lipstick this day! I was wearing Makeup For ever Artist Intense Rouge in #42
