Review- Color Studio Matt Perfection Cream Foundation

Color Studio's Matt Perfection foundation promises to cover imperfections leaving a natural matte finish. With the weather leaning towards the unpleasent-hot side, everyone including me is switching to products with a matte finish and light texture.  Lets see if this foundation lives up to it's claims.

My Experience: 

Color Studio's Matt Perfection foundation is a light weight cream foundation with a nice and smooth texture. At the very first glance this had a spongy mousse kind of appearance but right after I swatched it, the creamier side of the product appeared. It comes in a sleek black case, exactly same as the invincible powder compact. Since the two are from the high performance makeup range, they share the same packaging.

Ivory is a medium shade with yellow undertones. It looks pretty orange inside the pan, but upon application it turns lighter. Ivory is perfect for NC25-30 skin tones. 

As much as I love cream foundations because of their coverage, I do get annoyed by the fact they feel too heavy on skin and in summers, creams are a big No for me. Surprisingly, this foundation was a lot different from all of the cream compacts I've tried so far.

The texture is actually very light and applies sheer on a single application. The swatch above is a result of 2-3 swipes. This was basically what I loved about this particular foundation. It feels extremely light on skin without appearing cakey. So my skin is actually able to breathe underneath and I don't have to worry about clogging of pores.

It gives a complete matte finish, with a smooth overall appearance. Those with dry skin, will have to give their skin a fair amount of moisture before application as it can pretty much enhance dry patches on your skin.

As for me, I like to apply it with a wet sponge (the same that comes with the packing). It helps me with an even application and gives a more natural finish.I make sure I don't use it in patting motions on areas where I have big pores as it can accumulate inside the them which doesn't look nice. I'd suggest using swiping motions for a better result.

You get a light coverage with this foundation which can be built up to fairly medium one but I wont suggest doing that. I use a spot-on concealer on my acne scars and under eyes with it If I want a better coverage. 

It leaves my skin matte for about 4-5 hours depending on whether I set it with a powder or not. On normal days, when not much exertion is expected, I can easily wear it off alone and remain carefree for the day. Otherwise I do make sure I set it with a powder to increase it's staying power.

End Note: This is an amazing cream foundation for day to day use during summer regardless of the skin type. It's light weight, non cakey and makes your skin stay matte for a good amount of time.However a moisturiser is essential before application. Those who like a little more coverage, will need to pair it up with a good concealer to hide imperfections.
