The search for the perfect foundation for your skin is probably never-ending. If you are like many people, then you may find yourself wanting to try out new brands and how they work for/with your skin. A good foundation can take your makeup game from level 0 to 100, and that’s probably why everyone wants to get the right shade, texture, look and feel.
That said, Sephora is an international brand that sells skincare, makeup, and hair care products. What’s most striking about this brand is that they cater to all skin colours, which, of course, not all brands do. They have a very sophisticated brand image, and very good reviews online. While the brand is not yet in Kenya, they do have an easy-to-use E-commerce website that you can buy through and ship into the country. Alternatively, you can organize with a friend or relative who stays abroad to send over some of their products.
Let’s talk about the Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation.
Manufacturer’s claims
Enriched with algae extracts and hyaluronic acid. It provides anti-pollution benefits & 12HR hydration. it is clinically proven to reduce signs of stress and fatigue.
The Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation is also said to be non-comedogenic, a term used to describe certain beauty products that are said to not clog pores.
It has medium buildable coverage for the look of naturally perfected skin.
Texture
This foundation has a smooth liquid texture that blends in almost seamlessly with the skin. It has medium coverage, meaning that it creates an even canvas while maintaining a natural skin finish. Therefore if you are looking for a heavy makeup glam or transformation, then this may not be the product for you.
Price
The Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation retails for about 20 Canadian dollars, which is the equivalent of 1,700 Kenya shillings. This is for the 25ml bottle. If you ask me this is a great bargain for the quality of the product. You may not actually find that many brands with such affordable foundation.
Packaging
When it comes to beauty products you must pay attention to the modes of packaging since these determine how easy it is to use and move around with. Poorly packaged products will spill over in your bag and stain your things. The Sephora foundation comes with a pump, perfect for releasing enough product per given use. It also has a cover which prevents it from staining your things. Be sure, however, to wipe its bottle from time to time to keep it clean.
Review
I got this product as a gift from an aunt who was travelling back to Kenya, and so I had to shade match online. This was my third time doing an online shade match, and in all previous encounters, I had been disappointed. You would think that I would have learned my lesson. The third time did not seem to be a charm for me. When the product got here, I instantly noticed that it was a shade or two darker than my skin tone. Nonetheless, I wasn’t going to waste it, and so I mixed it up with a lighter foundation which I own, and came up with the perfect blend!
This foundation is great because it has some mattifying effects. This is great especially if you have oily skin that tends to seep through your foundation.
I will definitely be trying it out again. I would love to use it on its own without having to mix other products to come up with a perfect shade. It is affordable, has good texture and packaging. There are definitely no cons when it comes to the Sephora Best Skin Ever Foundation.
