Product Claims:
Wear this oil-free Even Better Makeup SPF 15 and something amazing happens: Without any makeup, you will see improved clarity, a more even skintone, and visibly diminished age spots. These results can be witnessed by all ethnicities in just 4 to 6 weeks. The long-wearing formula provides moderate-to-full coverage and also helps prevent new discolorations with SPF-plus antioxidants.
Beautypedia Review:
The one thing this beautifully silky liquid foundation has going for it in terms of reducing skin discolorations is its brilliant blend of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide along with a synthetic sunscreen agent. As for the other ingredients in this foundation, none of them are known to have a dramatic effect on skin's tone or clarity. What you'll get with this foundation is a smooth application that blends readily and sets to a soft matte finish that looks very skin-like. It's surprising that something whose finish is so lovely offers fairly significant coverage, especially for minor redness. The only drawback this foundation has it a small amount of grapefruit peel extract. This has the potential to cause irritation, but we doubt the amount used would be much of a problem. Even Better Makeup SPF 15 is best for normal to oily skin, and should be suitable for blemish-prone skin unless you know that mineral sunscreen actives make your breakouts worse.
My Thoughts:
This foundation leaves a satin (but not quite matte) finish and feels super light on the skin. It also has no scent, which I love. I found my chin looked a little shiny within a few hours of wear, but nothing a little Mally Face Defender couldn't fix. It covers blemishes relatively well, but you will need to use some concealer on any really red areas (in some of the above picture you can see reminents of my Brazilian Peel breakout!). I've not worn it consistently enough to noticed any change in my skin, but it does look healthier when I'm wearing it! I love that it contains sunscreen but doesn't irritate or burn my face when applied. I found when testing out the products, that most of the colors have a peach or pink tint to them (definately a must to skin match before you buy). Overall I like this foundation and plan to use it consistenly in the summer when I'm having "bad skin" days that my Tarte Tinted Moisturizer won't cover.

Eyes: I applied the deepest shade in the Head Shot Trio Chestnut all over the lid. I used the midtone pink shade Golden Orchid to blend with the dark tone in the crease towards the brow. I used the lightest shade Linen to highlight under the browbone. A little Mally Evercolor Liner in Deep Chocolate on the upper and bottom lashline, with a small amount of Chestnut Shadow smudged under the eye, and a coat (or two) of Light Camera Lashes completes the eye look.
What do you think? :)
Have a good night!
