A few months ago, I decided to try a new makeup foundation from a brand that I’ve never ever heard of in my entire life: Base of Sweden. They claim that their makeup foundation is long-lasting (72H), waterproof, with a matte finish, and with SPF30.
To me the most interesting thing is the fact that the brand is cruelty free, vegan, and free of parabens, SLS, and breathable (no comedogenic). So is perfect for people with acne, or extra sensitive skin.
As reference I have a sensitive and combination to oily skin, which means that my T zone is the sebum central. Besides that, I have a little blemishes on my jaw area. I tried this makeup foundation with and without makeup primer, putting on my left side primer, and leaving the right side only with moisturizer.
At first it seems like it will have a heavy texture that will clog even my blood vessels, but once I started to apply it on my face, I started to notice that is very lightweight, without any trace of wax or oil. With one coat, leaves a beautiful full coverage “skin like” finish, but since it days that it have a buildable coverage, I decided to apply a second coat, and guess what? It does not leave a caky face! The finish still the same, but with more coverage.
On the other hand, I realized that when I use this product, I need to be quick with the application, because it adheres to the skin in no time, and only an oil cleanser (korean double face clean routine) can remove it from the skin.
Once all my makeup was applied, I started with my routine, and from almost 18.00pm until 03.00am, the foundation was perfect…PERFECT! (exept on the arean I used other makeup product like my eye area where I used the Pro Revolution makeup concealer, and a non-waterproof mascara).
About the sebum production (my problematic T zone): only after six hour my
noise started to get a little bit of healthy glow, but nothing like an oily-caky
face.
