Review: Illamasqua White Foundation
I’ve tried quite a few different white foundations, some good, and some absolutely terrible, and so far this foundation is the best I have tried. Unfortunately it’s quite expensive and quite a small bottle.
Basics: 30 ml . £30 . Cruelty Free .
The foundation is described as rich, personally I would describe it as thick, which is perfect for a white foundation or you have to constantly layer it to get an even coverage (which is exactly what I had to do with my Kryolan foundation).
While we’re talking about the coverage the one downside of this foundation is that the formula is quite dry, you know that slightly dried out feeling you skin has after using face paint if you haven’t applied mousturiser first? It’s excactly like that, but it’s nothing a bit of moisturiser under the foundation won’t fix.
If you have very oily skin then then you’ll probably prefer the dryer formula
One thing I love about this is how easy it is to blend out with your fingers once it’s dried. When I filmed my Alien look I it was so easy to blend out the foundation on my neck to my shoulders just with my fingers. No horrible edges left from dried makeup.
