It might just be a matter of application and powder on those days. My chin occasionally gets very oily with this foundation, but I can't figure out the correlation between days when it does and doesn't. This foundation wears just about as well as any other foundation I've tried after about 4-6 hours, it starts to break down around the corners of my nose and between my eyes (which are my two biggest trouble spots). How does it wear through the day? I follow a process where I use setting powder after my moisturizer, then do my foundation, then a very light layer of setting powder. For a drugstore foundation, it has decent color match for pale tones (FYI, the darkest shade is Mahogany and it's definitely still pretty light)-but the process I have to go through to blend! Every now, after using it daily for about 10 days, it applies super weird and requires so much work to get it to actually blend into my skin. Next, I try the beauty blender again and, thankfully, they blended out the streaks and seemed to help the foundation settle down. I kept going, but no matter how much I blended, how much I worked, it just sat on top of my skin and didn't blend. My kabuki brush NEVER leaves streaks that bad. It was like I had been sprayed with white out liquid and brushed it with a paint brush. Immediately, The thing I noticed was the foundation was incredibly streaky and just. I started over with dabs then used my e.l.f. which means if you use a beauty blender or similar make up sponge, this thing can happen where it just absorbs all the foundation. My blender sponge had sucked them up.Īs it turns out, this foundation is water-based. All the little dabs of foundation on my face? Baby, they were GONE. I got my trust Beauty Blender and started blending. Beyond the smell, the color was a good match, if a little light the undertone is neutral in the Porcelain shade, so if you're a pale, neutral-undertoned girl, this is pretty perfect. I put a few pools of it on my palette (I use a candle lid) and started dabbing it on. It's so wonky and inflexible and mostly just drips everywhere. A little repulsed, I moved forward.Īnother note: I don't like the little paddle that you use to get the foundation out. The smell of this foundation is what I can only describe as extremely chemical, somewhere between the smell of a hospital and paint thinner. the first thing that hit me was the smell. I bought it after I'd gone to the gym, so I didn't get a chance to try it right away. I picked out the lightest shade, Porcelain, feeling sure that the Shell Ivory shade would be too dark. My chance came about a week and a half ago. Once I finally finished my tube of L'Oreal Pro-Matte, I vowed to buy Wet'n'Wild Photo Focus. They didn't have it at the store I went to though and since it was nearly 11pm at night, I instead bought the L'Oreal Pro-Matte foundation (which I liked but it's not cruelty free and it oxidized about 2 shades darker). While on a trip to Idaho, I'd forgotten my foundation (ugh) so I ran to Walgreens fully intending to buy this foundation. color me intrigued, in the words of Natch Beaut. So the fact that I was seeing some top YouTube beauty gurus using Wet'n'Wild. For that reason, I just never look at drugstore foundation options. Personally, drug store foundations have just never worked for me the color selection is usually very orange or warm-toned and gets neither very light nor very dark. Like the Liquid Catsuit liquid lips, it's highly affordable and reviewers said it had great coverage and wore great. For the past few months, I'd been hearing nothing but positive, glowing reviews about the Wet'n'Wild Photo Focus foundation.
