I am willing to change up my eyeshadow, willing to try out new lip
colors, willing to change up my eyeliner, but there is one thing I am
not willing to give up, and that is my Estee Lauder Double Wear
Foundation.
I am however willing to try other foundations to see if I like them or
not. 99% of the time when I try new foundations, I end up hating them
and going right back to my beloved Double Wear. Nothing beats Double
Wear, it lasts long, and finished flawless.
Recently though I was given a free tube of Isadora Velvet Touch, Flawless Long Wear Makeup in Nougat Beige.
Basically its a liquid foundation that promises flawless skin. Most
foundations promise flawless skin, and most deliver...however at the
same time those promises are quickly washed away after a few hours when
the foundation begins to look dry, patchy, and hideous on the skin.
With Isadora Velvet Touch, Flawless Long Wear Makeup in Nougat Beige,
you are promised a flawless face with long lasting wear. Besides just
that, they go the extra mile by stating that the foundation will also
regenerate and hydrate the skin. So yep, we have some lovely benefits to the skin besides a flawless finish.
So I got around to using it the other day, and here is how I feel
about it. If you have dry skin, you will truly love this one. However if
you have shiny, oily skin naturally you will probably end up hating
this one with a passion.
I usually put a moisturizer on my face every morning, in order t keep
the production of oil from my face down to a minimum. After putting on Isadora Velvet Touch, Flawless Long Wear Makeup in Nougat Beige though,
I realized I had more than enough moisture on my skin, in fact there
was too much going on, and it left behind a really high beam shine on my
entire face.
The foundation itself was also rather runny, and had the consistency
of a liquid serum than it did a creamy foundation. Most foundations are
runny, but this one had the consistency of water with a pinch of lotion
and some dye added to it.
It comes pouring out of the bottle, so I had to be especially careful while using it.
Applying it is rather simple, and it spreads easily onto the skin,
allowing you to blend it in with your natural color. The results were
pretty flawless, and I really liked how it left behind an airbrushed
like finish. However I did not like all the extra added shine.
I was able to minimize the shiny by adding Chanel's Purette Matt, but
even that was not capable of really dimming down the high beam shine
left behind by the foundation.
Personally Isadora Velvet Touch, Flawless Long Wear Makeup in Nougat Beige
is just not for me. It's not for women with skin like mine either. I
however would recommend this one to women who have dry skin, because Isadora Velvet Touch, Flawless Long Wear Makeup in Nougat Beige will definitely moisture the hell your skin.
The pricing is a bit high, but for those of you whom spend a lot of
money on foundations, the $19.00 price tag is not that huge, and
considering that a little bit of the foundation goes a long way, you
will have this one for quite some time before needing to re-stock.
All in all, I don't care for it, but like I said, if you have dry skin and foundations dry it out worse, than you will likeIsadora Velvet Touch, Flawless Long Wear Makeup in Nougat Beige.
