Hey there, today I will talk about this LAVERA natural liquid foundation
and these two concealers "light" and "medium"
first I should say that all this natural-organic products and especially make up products
are a little bit different than non-natural- organic products
and that's because they don't contain silicone and some other bad ingredients!
so an organic foundation can't be compared with a normal foundation
because if there is no silicone you can't get the effect of a smooth skin without imperfections
so I will review this product comparing it with other natural-organic products
when I start using these products I found them different but by using them for a while my skin become better
it isn't perfect now but it is really much better than a few years ago
you just have to use it for a while and find out how you should apply it for a better result
and you'll see that these products are very good
our skin absorbs this foundation just like absorbs a cream
I will show you how I apply it for better results
this is a medium-low coverage foundation
I don't like that it is conserved with alcohol, LAVERA use alcohol as a preservative for all products
I don't really like this especially for products I use to my face
as I said for the mascara review, alcohol is a natural ingredient and it evaporates quickly
but I have noticed that dries my skin, so it doesn't work good for me
so I don't use this foundation every day
let's see some of the ingredients :alcohol,oils, emulsifiers, Shea butter, cocoa butter,coconut oil, xanthan gum, oils,
extracts: Hippophae, Licorice, Chicory,Tilia, Rose, Mallow
and then the colors: the base is titanium dioxide and all the oxides(colors)
so all these ingredients can penetrate into your skin and give nourishment
but if you use a non-natural foundation the silicone create a film over the skin
and no other ingredient can penetrate into the skin
here you can find all these precious vegetal oils and no mineral oils and petrolatum derivate
I have the foundation color: 2 ivory, here you can see all these 4 colors
there are these two concealers: medium-light, you can see the colors from your right --ligth-medium-ivory
the concealer INCI is similar as the foundation INCI, the some oils and extracts
some ingredient are in higher % and others in lower % as you know the ingredients are in descending order of quantity
I use a small amount of foundation and I apply it with my hands
first it seems very strange, like separated but when you massage a little it has a very good final effect
you just have to work it a little with your hands, apply some product and work it then apply some more and work it
this is the result, you can go on and apply more if you need
I need some more near my nose
proceed the same way little by little
it doesn't give a complete mat effect, I have oily skin and I prefer mat effect
the coverage is very good
I use bare minerals foundation to get a complete mat effect and more coverage!
I apply medium concealer to my dark circles
it gives a low coverage and you have to apply little by little using your fingers
I apply "light" to illuminate some zones
I use my mineral foundation brush to set the concealer
this is the final result, a medium-low coverage
contains 30ml and the price is 9.89 (ecco-erde) / 12.50 (organic brands) / 11.76 (biofos)
you should apply it using your hands, I have tried to apply it with brushes but the result is not good
I think the temperature of the hands help this product to penetrate
the concealer contains 6.5ml and the price is 7.89 (ecco-verde), 10.30 (organic brands), 940 (biofos)
I don't recommend these concealers if you need a high coverage especially for dark circles
I only use them when I am not very tired and my skin condition is good
this foundation is not my favorite one but it is not bad
I recommend it if you need a medium-low coverage for young skin without so much imperfections
If you apply it as I show you it is a good product
I don't use it every day because it contains alcohol but when I use it I am satisfied of the result
Ciao
