![]() ![]() While I love the shade match, I hate the way this foundation looked and wore. I powdered my nose generously to try and put some coverage there and try and get rid of the tackiness, and it did fairly well considering how much damage was done, so well done, Maybelline powder! My pores looked enlarged, my face looked oily (though it was just very, very tacky and sticky) and it felt very heavy on my skin. It clung to my dryness, yet at the same time broke down somehow. ![]() I wear glasses, and on the bridge of my nose it wore off completely, leaving a cakey texture around it that was almost impossible to rub off or fix. Terribly might even be an understatement. There’s a lot to say about the results of the wear-test, but to sum it up: this foundation broke down on my skin terribly and quickly. During the 3 times I’ve worn this foundation, it looks its best first applied, but even then is still a bit cakey/heavy on the skin. It blends pretty well, but on the dry parts of my face (center of forehead, nose) it clings to those areas and is harder to smooth out. Though this shade looks incredibly ghostly when first applied, it does oxidize throughout the day, and after applying my other face makeup, it turns into a perfect match for me.Īfter using the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and a Real Techniques sponge, I find the sponge blends out this foundation better. ![]() My bare face looks pink and cool toned, but as you can see, my neck is much more neutral/yellow toned/pale. (I applied a small amount of Covergirl’s Ready Set Gorgeous concealer on my undereyes, and powdered my face lightly with Maybelline’s Fit Me Set + Smooth powder.) (No primers were used during application & wear test, only a light layer of moisturizer) ![]() So overall, I am happy about the shade, but I’ll explain more below. Revlon’s Colorstay Liquid Foundation in “Ivory” is pale enough for me, but is slightly too pink against my skin. The shade “Porcelain” has a strong yellow undertone, which I feel suits my skintone best. I compared the shade to the rest of the foundations I own, and it is one of the lightest shades I own, and I own the palest shades from the foundation lines pictured above. Warning, to those of you who don’t like your products to have a strong smell, that this one smells exactly like paint–straight up wall paint however, after I apply it to my face the smell goes away. I do worry about bacteria spreading from the applicator into the product after touching your face/blemishes, though. The applicator is paddle-like and fairly thin I find it applies the product rather well, though it does feel a bit strange. The packaging for this foundation is glass with a screw-top, which is very nice and feels high quality. Once I test it out, I will make sure to update this review with my thoughts. *Note: I did not test the flash-photography claim in this review, but from every review I’ve seen/read on this foundation that did test it, the foundation did not flashback in photography. Wet ‘N Wild only claims this foundation will have no flashback in pictures, which means your face won’t appear flashback or give a white cast in flash photography. Also, I have pretty sensitive skin.Ĭlaims: Via their website, I can’t find any claims on wear-time or even its finish. I wouldn’t call myself super dry, with the exception of the sides of my nose. I have textured, dry skin, with acne and scarring, as well as redness. How’d it turn out? Click below to find out! I’m also comparing swatches to this and other affordable foundations. Hey there! Today I’m reviewing Wet ‘n Wild’s PhotoFocus Foundation in the shade “Porcelain” and puting it to a wear test. ![]()
