I think my biggest weakness in the make up world is foundation. I love them. they really can transform a look - covers those silly spots, that pesky pigmentation and the ruthless redness. Once your base is perfected, you don't really need much make up anywhere else.
So, while in Dubai, I decided I wanted to try the Marc Jacobs 'remarkable' foundation.
The foundation is described as a lightweight, full coverage and oil free foundation that gives 24 hour wear. It is a highly concentrated formula so a little will go a VERY long way. The end result is a soft matte finish.
Since being marketed as a full coverage foundation, I was dreading the 'cake face' look, especially when it gathers around the nose (ewww), but there was non of this in sight. It sat perfectly on my combo/oily skin type. It blurs imperfections and give a flawless finish, but still remains slightly dewy as the day progresses. It lasted the entire day, without oxidising or looking to oily and still remained matte (ish!), dewy and fresh! I didn't touch up the entire day. It felt very lightweight, which I was really pleased with.
Too much of this foundation will lead the finish to separate and cake. I made this mistake the first time I had applied this. As usual I got ready for work in a rush and in the dark and applied too much. It did separate on me and it did look too cakey. The next day I applied very little and it was perfect!
The best application to use is a buffing brush. You have to work fast with this foundation, otherwise is will be difficult to blend. So, I recommend to apply and blend in sections.
This foundation will be perfect for combo oily skin types. Those with a normal to dry skin type will have to apply a rich moisturiser before application.
I matched up to shade honey medium, which is on point! The shade range is quite extensive, so there should be something for everyone. You can purchase this now at Harrods and Sephora.
Overall, I am really pleased with the foundation. Personally, I would wear this foundation for an evening event rather than to the office, but you do you! there are no rules!
