Be Talk: Faces Mineral Liquid Foundation

Brand: Faces

Line: Mineral

Type: Liquid Foundation

Shade: Beige (03)

Price: INR 499

In the last haul of last year-I bought a bunch of Faces products. I dint have a prior preview of most of them-it was an impulse shopping session (actually I got bored of waiting for a friend and hit a big Cosmetics store in North Kolkata to vent my frustration somewhat :D)  So there I went-and got the Faces Minerals foundation for myself.

PS: I am obsessed with foundations of late. Before this I bought the Lakme Intense White Foundation which I thoroughly disliked. And more the number of times I get a wrong product-the more I freak out to get a better one :| I hope my mom is not reading this…

Okay-So I got a description of this foundation from the Health Kart website-where it is available at a discount of 60 bucks.

 Me Talk

From the first day of use-I am smitten by the awesomeness of my first mineral foundation. I prefer a dewy look and a foundation that has a shade close to my wheatish skin tone and also which doesn’t give a patchy finish. The Faces minerals foundation fits these bills like it was made to be my perfect foundation!!! This foundation isn’t exactly liquid-it has the consistency of a slightly thick cream. It gives medium to full coverage. It comes in a tube with a nozzle-which I find more convenient than a bottle or tub packaging.

What I like is that-this foundation needs no setting powder or compact. On blending properly-the foundation gives an instant pearly glow to the face. I have never seen any other foundation to do this before. The blending is easy as the foundation glides on and on-until the last bit of it is absorbed into the skin. I off course use liberal amounts of moisturizer beneath it. As I said-I dint use any powder to set this foundation-still it doesn't melt or make me sweat. 

Also I have noticed that with other foundations-the face turns darker as you sweat and move around in the sun (Umbrellas and sunscreens are like an extra luggage to me forever :D). However, I found the Faces foundation to maintain the original shade and finish all day long! And the best part! It didn’t break me out at all-I have used it twice so far-and somehow-I don’t know how-my face looks tad brighter after its daylong use!!!

 Do you see the nice blending and finish!

SO to Sum up:

1) It gives a flawless finish. By flawless I mean-non-patchy-non cakey-and-non oily/slathering

2) Easy to blend because of the creamy consistency

3) The coverage is medium to full and it doesn’t budge with heat or sweat

4) Foundation doesn’t melt-but due to oil mines in my T zone-that place slightly “glazed” after some time. Dry skinned people wont have this problem

5) It didn’t break me out at all. On the contrary-my face looks brighter after everyday I use it.

6) This shade (Beige 03) is a perfect shade that compliments my wheatish skintone.

7) No whitish casts-it render the skin a pearly glow after applying

8) The tube with nozzle prevents wastage or contamination

9) Only 2 blobs like the one in the picture is enough to cover the face and neck.

Down-Side:

1) The quantity is only 25 ml. And given that you would thoroughly love the product-I wonder if one tube would last a month!

2) The packaging should have been made transparent-so that the quantity remaining could be understood.
