Hey Everyone!
A good foundation is essential in almost everyone's 'full-face' makeup routine. If you don't have a good foundation, you can end up without that flawless base you strive for. Some people would suggest avoiding cheaper brands of the product, and those who have the funds will often head towards high-end, or designer brands. Me? I aim to find the best quality product, for as little as money possible, which is how i discovered the KIKO 3D Lifting Foundation.
I had only ever heard of KIKO a few times, not being aware it is for sale in the UK until I came across one of their stores by chance. The brand as a whole, i can only describe as MAC, but for half the price! The quality and range of products is a match to MAC from what I have tried so far from them!
But on with the Foundation Review:
Let me first tell you about my skin type- I have dry/ oily (combination) skin, that is also pretty sensitive to most products. I also suffer from regular breakouts, meaning the texture of my skin is not smooth.
The KIKO 3D Lifting Foundation is perfect for my problematic skin! The foundation, from the pump comes out quite thick and feels silky smooth to touch. It is a slight peachy scent, and comes in 10 different shades.
When applied to my face (using my beauty blender), it blends out easily and smooths over all my blemishes, helping me achieve the flawless base I desire.
Whats more its hypo-allergenic, meaning i don't have to worry about it irritation.
The smoothing qualities of this product is also supposed to be effective over time, however I can't say I have experienced this; perhaps the effects take a long period of time over constant use (i have been using it for 3 months and other foundations in between).
The Brands description of this product promises:
"A silky foundation - a pleasure to apply – enhanced by highly functional active ingredients that act on signs of aging from the very first application: your face will immediately appear more radiant, smoother and firmer.
Over time, oxidative stress and cellular stress are reduced and collagen synthesis is reactivated.
The lightness and softness of the texture, combined with the natural look of the pigments create a "second skin" effect where blemishes are eliminated and radiance is enhanced."
This product falls into the medium price category, retailing for a reasonable £14.50. I believe this is a fair price for the quality of the product you are purchasing! You also receive free delivery on all orders, if you order online, with a choice of two delivery options. Or just pop into one of their stores (find your nearest store here)
