Hard Candy - Glamoflauge Foundation

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning loves.

I'm truly starting to wonder if I'll ever find a foundation that I love. I just finished up my Loreal True Match Super Blendable foundation, review here. Since I required a new foundation I picked up the Hard Candy 16 HR Full Coverage foundation in Wal-Mart because it was affordable and is one that I haven't tried yet.

 I've been using this for about a week and while it's not the worst I've tried it's nowhere near the best. I like that it's in glass packaging as that always gives it more of a luxurious feel. The doe foot applicators for foundation I really dislike. The only other one I've ever seen is on the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation and I wasn't a fan of it then either. I'd much rather it have no applicator! I find it hard to get a nice even coverage using the doe foot applicator. The liquid isn't runny and dries down extremely quick when applied to the skin so make sure you only apply in one section at a time and blend quickly!

It claims to be full coverage but as you can see above it didn't completely cancel out my blue veins so I'd say it's more of a medium coverage that you could build up if desired. The formula while not overly drying does cling to dry patches and emphasises them so if you're more on the dry side beware.

I woudln't repurcahse this but I will finish using it up.

What's your current go to base?

Hard Candy Primer Mist

Hello loves!

I'm back and am going to try to keep my posts up to at least twice a week for all of you.

 Back at it with another primer review. Lately I've been on a primer kick, trying to find that perfect one. 

The Hard Candy Sheer Envy Hydrating Primer Mist is almost perfection in a bottle. It can be used as either a primer or setting spray. Currently, I've been using it as a primer but you can bet I'll test it out as a setting spray! Updates to come.

I like to use this by spraying the mist on my Real Techniques Sponge and then applying it to the skin. I find that the mist if sprayed directly on the face is too wet for my liking. While I didn't notice any extended wear time I did notice it helped with the foundation separation on my nose which I can't seem to stop no matter what I try (tips would be appreciated) so for that alone it gets some major bonus points. It claims to boost hydration for 12 hours, again I never keep my makeup on for that long so I can't attest to that. It certainly keeps my skin from feeling dry though which I haven't found with other primers and it smells like coconut. This retails for eight dollars CAD and for the price this can do no wrong. It keeps my skin hydrated and helps foundation separation in areas that I've always struggled with. Thank you Hard Candy for the affordable and wonderful product!

What's your favorite primer?
