This Liquid to Powder foundation was a little surprise in a bottle.
As promised, it glides onto the skin effortlessly and does have
a powdery finish. Some of our panellist found the white powdery
residue on their fingers a bit off-putting, but other than that
the foundation is excellent to wear giving you a very natural coverage.
It also allows for a heavier application if needed. Great to see
an SPF in the product. Overall, it is a nice inexpensive foundation
that delivers what it promises.

Lovely,
lightweight texture - velvety smooth and very pleasant
to touch. I like my foundations lightweight and I don't
like a rich, full coverage foundation, so this seemed
ideal. I have never tried a cream to powder (liquid) foundation
before, so I was keen to try it! I found it blends easily,
and a little definitely goes a long way.
I only needed to use a small amount to get the desired
coverage. It immediately felt soft and velvety smooth
where applied, and stayed that way all day. My makeup
still looked fresh, and felt soft and smooth at the end
of the day. The fact that it dries to a powder finish
really helps with the durability and longevity of this
product. The texture is fantastic. It gives medium coverage,
and helped even out my skin tone very well. Plus I like
the fact that it has good UVA / UVB protection (spf15).
I did not notice any smell with the product! It is an
absolute bargain buy!!

Applying
the product was easy; using either a sponge or fingertips
gave the same appearance. The product felt nice to wear
and was long lasting. It had a slight fragrance, pleasant
and the texture was as described silky. I would purchase
this product again as it is easy to apply, looks and feels
nice to wear.

Cute
small squeezy packaging. I have never used a liquid to
powder product before. It was quite easy to apply with
the fingertips. It has a slippery, siliconey texture which
made it easy to apply but around the nose area it was
a little difficult to smooth out, especially if I had
any flakes of dry skin. It wore quite well but I'm less
oily at the moment than I am in summer months but I think
you can get around that by setting it with powder. There
was no discernable smell and the texture was quite slippery. Personal Rating:
The
first thing I thought was "Who is Face Of Australia" -
I must admit I had never heard of them. The packaging
looked nice but also at the same time a bit cheap. The
best way I can put it is by saying that if I was a teenager
I would have thought it was grown-up. Once I took the
lid off I really liked the spout for dispensing the foundation
- it was easy to control the amount coming out. I found
that a small amount of foundation could cover quite a
bit of your face - so you didn't feel like you were wasting
it.
The application looked better after a couple minutes.
When applying foundation, obviously you get a little residue
on your fingers, but I found that this foundation left
a heavy white residue which did not rub off easily with
your fingers; you had to wash your hands well. I figured
this was to do with the liquid turning to powder - unfortunately
I am not familiar with similar style foundations so I
wasn't sure if this happens all the time. In saying that
the foundation went far I then realised that I wasn't
getting a good coverage (very light).
This was great for just everyday wear. It didn't come
off on my clothes and once dry, it had a really nice feel
on your face. It appeared to last all day but was a bit
hard to tell with just a light coverage. I also did a
heavier application and it did surprise me. It was better
than I thought it would be. Again, lasted well all day
and didn't rub off. My skin felt really nice and I didn't
have any reaction to the sunscreen in it (which my skin
is prone to do). Personal Rating:
Nice
neat compact packaging - great size & good closure for
gym bag/travelling. The foundation went on smoothly and
blended easily without streaking. It set quite quickly
to powder finish. Nice light texture, enough to even out
skin tone but not cover up.
Perfect tinted moisturiser for oily skin. My only complaint
would be that it set to a noticeable white powder on my
fingertips! The colour lasted all day & didn't sink into
my pores. It didn't look like I was wearing any make up.
By mid-afternoon things got a bit shiny, but nothing that
couldn't be fixed with powder! There was almost no smell
which was great.
I would absolutely purchase it again - it's a great, easy
to apply light coverage foundation that does a reasonable
job of controlling oil. The compact packaging & good closure
make it excellent for travel too . Personal Rating:
