MAKE -UP FOREVER FACE & BODY

I have experimented with a litany of foundations over the years for both personal & professional
use as a make-up artist. 
On the constant search for that holy grail of foundations this one was definitely added to my "must try" bucket list. 

Here's what I found out.

THE PROMISE: 
-Water resistant
-Ultra-light
-Natural finish
-Water-based


THE PURE TRUTH:
This foundation is extremely easy to apply. 

Put it on with a brush, sponge, fingers or your big toe it really doesn't seem to matter. You can apply this in a very light manner for a natural smooth finish or layer it for more coverage without having it look cakey.

Good for mature skin it's lightweight texture won't sit in your lines shocking everyone when you are in direct sunlight.

I gotta admit I don't love it if you are on the oily side even though this is a water based gel formulation. I found it accentuated larger pores and required more work to "push" it in the skin.
As for the body I don't love that either. For covering large areas like legs or arms I would still have to go with MAC here.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
Thank goodness they have a pump dispenser now, but a glass bottle?
Ugg. A pain for artists to lug around heavy bottles, and pray you don't drop it. (My poor toes).
However they have a really diverse colour range and the coverage is very natural looking and feeling.

RATING:
Well this one didn't morph my "face & body" like it was hoping it would. I do not look like Meghan Fox as I unrealistically dream my make-up purchases will transform me into. But I am pretty happy with the natural coverage and how light it feels on my skin.
