Born this way foundation - Too Faced

Coconut water has stole the limelight recently claiming to seriously hydrate your body, so obviously it's not surprising that it's now being incorporated into our makeup too! So does it work?

Packaging - it comes in a glass bottle with gold trim and plastic pump, hooray a pump! When you're paying for a decent foundation I don't think you should have to be paying extra for a pump so this ticked a box in my head straight away. I love the packaging from the girly embossed box to the frosted bottle, although I will say it can be extremely hard to find the correct colour on an average day let alone when the bottles are frosted! 

This claims to be a medium to full coverage foundation and I would say it's more on the medium side. In fairness I only used the one pump and when I used more it did give me a fuller coverage but it looked cakey! It drys very fast so I wouldn't hang around blending this in. I found applying with my fingers worked best although my beauty blender also worked well (a brush leaves a streakier look) I have very dry skin at the moment due to this cold weather and it did me no favours making my skin look more flakey, It also looked a little patchy so not natural looking as it claims. 

I wear Estée Lauder double wear usually and although this foundation gives me more of glowy finish which I much prefer it doesn't give me the full coverage or work well with my dry patches. Everyone's skin is different though so maybe it would suit a more oily skin type. 

 

I found it worked best with my smash box primer, a loose setting powder and my urban decay makeup spray - it did last all day. Overall I would be happy to wear this foundation during the day (once my skins a little less dry) however if I wanted to go out for the evening with the girls I don't feel like this compares to my Estée Lauder so considering the price I won't be repurchasing it a hurry! 

Have you tried this? What do you think?
