I know the title sounds cheesy but just bear with me. We’ve all been to Sephora to get our skin tested to see what is the best foundation for our skin. Most of us has some sort of complication with our skin whether it’s dry skin, oily skin, redness, dark spots, wrinkles and (my personal problem) acne.
Here’s my dilemma. I wanted a full-coverage foundation that’ll cover my acne, acne scars and dark spots but having that full-coverage foundation was too much for my sensitive skin and made me break out even more – it was a vicious circle.
When Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Foundation advertised that’ll give me flawless, poreless, long-lasting coverage that’ll instantly tighten pores, reduce skin and has SPF15, it sparked my interest because I thought it was too good to be true. I’m happy to say that yup, it was pretty true! And here’s the science behind it to show us why.
The secret MAGIC ingredients:
Magical fomes officinalis extract. This is a concentrated mushroom extract that improves skin firmness, tightens pores and floods the skin with moisture.
Genius hyaluronic filling spheres. These spheres fill with moisture as they are absorbed into the skin, plumping the skin with water, reversing grooves.
Super-charged vitamin C (VC-IP): This converts into pure Vitamin C within the skin, giving it protection and energy directly to the skin’s cells and DNA. In return, it’ll give you firmer, younger skin, anti-pigmentation, visibly reduce the appearance of acne and on-going protection against sun damage.
Suggested Price: $49
Add-On: The Magic Complexion Brush has a tailor-made flat head which allows you to buff the foundation onto the skin. It distributes pigments evenly, as opposed to wiping It or layering it across the skin, and creates a totally flawless, air-brushed finish. It works really well for those with acne, open pores, scarring and/or rosacea because it doesn’t force the foundation into the pores (and therefore highlights imperfections) but instead gently brushes over them.
Suggested Price: $68
