Who We Are

Melissa, Co-Founder

Hair: Thick, medium texture, and prone to flyaways due to lots of random coarse strands; currently dark golden brown

Eyecolor: Hazel

Age: 31

Skin Tone: Medium fair with yellow undertones

Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

What Lisa Says: For the price, this is an "okay" product. I used this over both crème and liquid foundations and it worked equally the same on both. My base was set and it did stay all day and did not budge. The packaging is great - a sturdy compact that flips open on top to access product and then slides sideways to reveal an area to store your sponge applicator and a mirror which is always handy. Again, I opted to chunk the applicator and opted instead for a brush. Using the applicator deposited too much product and from a distance, my make-up looked fine and it was a good color match but up close every tiny wrinkle and pore was accentuated. Using a brush minimized this somewhat but not enough for my liking. My skin tends to be dry and I have a hunch that those with an oilier complexion might like this product. Like the Natural Perfection Powder Foundation, this looked more like any translucent powder than a mineral product.

Retail Price: .32 oz./$8.99 (online at Walgreens)
