i received my studio mist and studio mist blush
i am an NC 30 in winter, NC 35 in summer. it is autumn, and that makes me an NC32.5 LOL
the medium dark blends perfectly into my complexion, and the coverage is sheer, but buildable. i was actually impressed by the coverage it gave.
just an aaside...i am not a fan of putting things on my hands to mix or work into brushes, so i have this old mirror that i use. i put my foundations on it, and mix eyeliner sealant and pigments on it. it is a surface which is easy to clean, then you can put liquid soap on it and clean your brushes on the mirror!
this morning i had to spray three 1-second bursts and use my foundation brush to get the coverage i wanted. in the end i did use less than i would have used for liquid foundation. i finished with Blot loose powder. my skin looks great. better than with my usual liquid and powder combo and the finish is silky, and the effect is flawless. i can't see any pores, and there is no migration so far.
when using the blush, placed two-1 second bursts (i bought peach spritz), onto the mirror, and used the 187 brush to apply. i love the effect and colour i got from it. once i got it on, i added a little bit of MSF in stereo rose for some luminousity.
just so you know, the blush aerosol is smaller than the foundation aerosol, and the amount sprayed per blast is less from the blush than the foundation. there is a little but of a cloud that ends up in the air after you spray, but it isn't messy or anything.
i had to literally run to work as i was late playing with my new goodies. i was sweaty, but the foundation hasn't budged and the finish has not even thought about turning shiny. the blush is still going strong, and after a good sprinting to work, my blush has usually faded by now
i hate to say it, but i had little to no expectation from these products. but these ones are winners
so if you are able to get a foundation match, i would highly recommend this product.
as for the blush, i am thinking that i will like the pink one better. not that i don't like the peach one...it is just that i have better colours of blush in powder form in a peachy tone for my complexion. so i am keeping my fingers crossed that the pink blush will appear at my local counter soon so i can try it out.
