I've always been afraid of liquid foundation. I worried about getting it on evenly and blending it at the jawline, so it looked natural. And I didn't care much for the way it felt heavy on my skin, or how it looked at the end of the day. So you can imagine my concern when a beauty consultant suggested I try Studio Gear Flawless Foundation.
I had stopped by the makeup counter looking for something new to try, to even out my skin tone and brighten up my face. Specifically, I told her I wanted something for over-50 skin. I have to say, I didn't ask her how old she is, but she looked to be about my age and her skin and makeup looked fantastic. It turns out she was wearing the Studio Gear Flawless Foundation, so she had my attention. She took her time matching my skin tone to the perfect shade of makeup, and gave me some tips on how to apply it. Studio Gear recommends applying foundation with a brush, which they sell.
I took home a bottle in the 'linen' shade and have been wearing it for a couple of weeks. I've applied it with a brush and with my fingers. The brush will take a little getting used to, but it does have the advantage of keeping the product off my hands. Best of all, I like the way it looks and feels.
Studio Gear Flawless Foundation is a silicone emulsion makeup. Silicone ingredients provide a little shine (or maybe glow is a better word for makeup) and a great finish and also seal in moisture. I wash it off thoroughly at the end of the day and moisturize. The Studio Gear product includes ingredients for UVA and UVB protection (SPF 10), plus antioxidants A, C and E.
There are a number of silicone based foundations on the market. Check out an earlier post about Face Atelier.
