I have never been happier with a foundation. My skin breaks out badly from time to time, due to hormones - this product is the best cover up and also does not irritate my skin or make my breakouts worse. It's light and mattifies my skin, so I don't get a horrible shine, like I do with other products. Not to mention the price is so worth it and a lot cheaper than any other brand.
I always buy the soft beige foundation and it works very well with my skin. i use it day and night. not oily and works well with any skin tome. im inlove with essence!
Sounds very impressive ladies. I am battling to find my "Max Factor Foundation" at Clicks for weeks now so I guess Max Factor has just lost a "client". I will go and buy the Essence stay all day. I purchase the Essence Nail polish - excellent and dries so quick. I use the eyeliner and many other products. Huge fan of the Essence range.
Price: I mean R50 for a foundation?! What's not to love?
Colour Selection: When I was shopping at Clicks for a foundation, I found that the colour range for this foundation wasn't great, I ended up getting 20 Soft Nude which is too dark for my skin tone but because of the poor organisation of the stand I had no choice (but if you know how to blend then you can make wrong colours work!)
Effectiveness: It makes my skin look absolutely flawless! Its not a thick formula so it doesn't stick to dry patches on the face but it does an excellent job at evening out the skin. It covers pretty well too, I would say about medium coverage.
I love this product! Because I wear make up everyday it tends to get really expensive and I love to buy everything I see *shopaholic* I decided to try out this foundation. I found that it had a really soft touch to my skin and didn't make my skin too oily or too dry either, my skin stayed just perfect for up to 8 hours, I applied loose powder over just to give me a perfect set and I didn't have to really worry. I'm not sure why I decided to wear white the day I tried this foundation out and then realised that I probably transferred half my foundation to my top, surprisingly not. It doesn't transfer and keeps to it's promise and it's really affordable, although the colours are abit limited, if you're lucky, you'll find your perfect colour!
1) It sure is affordable. Makeup can be hell on a student's budget but Essence is wonderfully inexpensive and easy to find!
2) This foundation lasts for hours without smudging or running. I haven't needed to use a primer with this foundation so far. It's not too heavy for sunny South Africa, but also does not leave my skin oily or my pores clogged.
I use to use MAC but paying R500 for a great base that turns your skin oily isnt the greatest deal.
All the girls in my friendship ask me what I use and I refer them to this foundation. It is:
Light - so you dont look like a base face The colours mix well with your skin tone It lasts up to 16 hours, perfect for a long flight trip. It creates a smooth surface for a stunning finish to your bronzer and blush. Your skin is not left oily or dry.
I love this product and recommend it to all women of all skin types
I decided to try this because of the fact that it is targeted at the teenage market which means it is cheap and sure to not cause flare ups. I was not disappointed as it is super cheap and works well to even out skin tone. It is great for oily skin as it leaves it matte all day!
