While I love the look of a full coverage foundation, I rarely love how heavy it looks on my skin, so I was excited to get a sample of the hyped up @jouercosmetics Essential High Coverage Creme Foundation ($38 for .68 ounces – https://shopstyle.it/l/bco1Z) to test out and see if it could defy the odds and cover without caking!
What it claims:
๐ Offers a matte, full-coverage, airbrushed finish in 50 shades
๐ A small drop is all you need to achieve a picture-perfect look
๐ Combines chamomile and cucumber extract to help soothe and calm your skin while hyaluronic acid helps support natural hydration and keeps you feeling flawless all-day
๐ Formulated without Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates
๐ Gluten-free and vegan-friendly
My experience:
๐๐ป I was very surprised that this came with six (6) sample shades! I mixed together shades Porcelain (Light) and Fawn (Medium).
๐ I have worn this on two (2) separate occasions. The first time, I didn’t apply much at all and got medium coverage. The second time, I applied a bit more and definitely got full coverage.
๐๐ป When I wore it with medium coverage, I used a powder that doesn’t keep me as matte as the one I’m wearing today, so the fact that I got pretty oily came as no real surprise. However, using my most mattifying powder today, I have been wearing the foundation for nearly six (6) hours and haven’t had to blot once.
๐๐ป It blended out beautifully and worked well with all of the products I put on top.
๐๐ป Almost immediately, it began to sink into my forehead lines and it hasn’t gotten any better or worse since then.
๐๐ป I don’t ever get creases around my mouth, but I can see them forming and it definitely ages my face.
๐๐ป On and around my nose, it’s looks really nice.
๐๐ป My cheeks look airbrushed.
๐๐ป My chin is breaking up slightly.
๐๐ป๐๐ป The area between my eyebrows looks good, but not great.
My verdict?
I am conflicted with this foundation. While it gives me perfection in some areas. Others? Not so much. I donโt see myself purchasing the full size of this.
