Foundation Proof Test #4



Hello everyone! We are back with our fourth foundation proof test. Today is the turn of the super "Estee louder double wear" Foundation. I am in the shade Ivory Beige and let me tell you that this is one of the few foundations that match 100% my skin tone.

Estee louder is a prestige brand that it is recognize for the quality of the ingredients that their products have. This foundation retails for $38 and you can buy it online or at several stores where you can find prestige brands like Macys, Sephora, Bells.. etc. 
The claims of this foundation are to be :
Long-wearing makeup with 15-hour staying power. Looks flawless and natural. Lasts through heat, humidity, non-stop activity.
Won't change color, smudge or come off on clothes. Feels lightweight and comfortable.( According to the Estee louder website.)
Now it is time to put it under the Proof Test.

Today I started my day pretty early and my skin looked like this .



As you can see I woke up pretty oily and with the regular dark under eyes.
I applied my moisturizer and my primer, after that I started applying the foundation . It went on smooth and with a very well medium coverage . My skin looked like porcelain . The only thing you could see through were my moles but no dark under eyes or spots. This foundation matched so so so so so so so well with my skin. 
I finished my makeup and this is how it looked. 


WOOW!  I really loved how this foundation felt and looked. Even thought it was a pretty medium to full coverage it doesn't feel heavy AT ALL! After I finished my makeup. I went and had lunch with my family from Monterrey and after that I went and did some shopping. I got home at 4 P.M
and my makeup looked like this.


Can you believe it? It looks exactly as hours ago! totally flawless.
After that I went to my job and unfortunaley I got home at 12 A.M and forgot to take a picture so that you guys could see how my foundation looked after hours.
Let me tell you there was no much difference on how it looked in the morning on how it looked at night. 

This foundation really amazed me ! It is not a cheap foundation but it is totally worth every penny. It does what it claims. Your skin will look wonderful and I promise you will receive a lot of compliments.  

PROS:
- Easy to apply.
- Medium to Full coverage.
-Long lasting.
- Sweat and climate proof.
- Flawless look.
-Color range.
-Good for any type of skin . ( If you are dry just make sure to use a hydrating primer.)

CONS: 
- Does not have a pump.

Final Score

Foundation Proof Test #3


Hello everyone , I hope that you have been having an excellent day so far.
Today is another opportunity to put a foundation under the super “Foundation Proof Test!!!! “

            The foundation I chose today is the already famous Makeup Forever Ultra HD . This is the first High-End foundation I review in this series.
Let me start saying that this foundation has an awesome range of tones (40 shades) , mine is in shade 127. This foundation prices for $43 and can be found in Sephora and online.
The claims of this foundation are to be completely invisible under the latest, super-focused 4k lens, this revolutionary foundation features uniquely-coated pigments that provide medium to buildable coverage with an even lighter weight, second-skin texture that looks just like skin , according to the Sephora website.
            I started my day at 6:00 A.M and as always first applied my moisturizer  then a primer.  My skin looked pretty much like this








I grabed my foundation and started to apply it with a beauty blender. I used three pumps to cover from my neck to my forehead. The application of this foundation is smooth but, not as smooth as the past 2 I have reviewed. It did apply pretty flawless and dried to a demi-matte finish. 
Here is a picture of how the foundation looked by itself without powder or concealer .


The coverage is a good medium coverage. It did a good job covering my moles and undereye dark circles.  I continued to finish my makeup, and after that I went to work




After a long day at work I looked at my foundation and … OH NO! my nose was completely “foundation-free”. The camera did an excellent job capturing the absence of foundation around my nose.




The rest of my makeup looked okay but, it really scared me just to think abou how many people saw my  nose! 

At the en of the day ( 10:30 P.M) I took another picture of my foundation and it looked  weird. The foundation  was missing from several parts of my face and lost some coverage.


After this long day , I give MUFE’s Foundation a 6 out of 10 .

Why?

Pros:
·      Photographs very smooth
·      Easy to apply
·      Good medium coverage
·      Can work for dry or oily girls.
·      Color Range.
Cons:
·      PRICE
·      It wears off pretty quick
·      It sits in lines of expression.
·      During the day it starts to sit and remark your dry patches

I really think this foundation is nice but… for the price I expected a better quality .

Foundation Proof Test #2




Hello everyone! We are back with our second foundation proof test. Today is the turn of the already well-known “L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte“ Foundation.




I have mine in the shade 105. This foundation claims to last up to 24 hours (Infallible.), and to be a medium demi-matte coverage. 
One of the things I REALLY liked about this foundation it’s the presentation! It comes in a easy to squeeze tube. I love this because it is easy to control the amount you take out of the foundation and also less bacteria go into the foundation (because your fingers never touch the foundation inside the tube.) The price ranges around $9-$12 so it is in the high side of the drug store foundations cost but, lets check how it works during the day.

Here is my picture with no foundation; this was at 7:30 A.M. 



As you can see my dark under eye circles are noticeable and I have a lot of dark spots to cover.

I started to apply the foundation with a beauty blender ( I use the beauty blender with all my foundations.) At first, I was pretty impressed with the coverage of this foundation . I continued applying and I was more impressed! This was a pretty more full than medium coverage. The application goes on easy and it does not leave dry patches  .
This is how my complete makeup looks with the “L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matt “ Foundation.


It covered my dark under eye circles ,and my face looks very smooth. It looks matte without looking cakey! Lets check how it goes during the day.

Today I went to church and after that I went to eat with some friends. The weather was a little bit hot ( around 81 F) . Then we made a 1 hour line to cross the border from mexico to the USA. So it was a busy day.

* The pictures for the end of the day look are having trouble to upload :(  (   Sorry )':   )

My foundation lasted all day!  I received several compliments and a lot of people asked me which foundation I was using.  The formula of this foundation is totally comparable with a High-End formula.
For the price , I would really recommend this foundation for those girls with oily skin.

Pros:
-Easy to apply.
- Presentation.
- Medium-Full Coverage.
-Lasts all day.
-Not cakey.

Cons:
-Price.
-Might not work for dry skin girls.
-Not a big variety of tones.


In my opinion this foundation gets a 9 out of 10 points!
