Inflation is hitting each one of us hard. The food prices have hiked. Gas prices have soared immensely in the last few months. In these challenging times, it is hard to put your best face forward. Thankfully, one drugstore brand that is maintaining its low price tag and great quality is Essence
Today I am reviewing base makeup product from essence which is under 10$ . I have tested it for over 3 months, so rest assured that this won't fail you at all.
Essence Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation in 050 Neutral Champagne
Since it will be winter soon in the northern hemisphere. This is the best foundation you can try in the transitioning weather. It contains hyaluronic acid to plump up the skin and has a beautiful lightweight formula that is easy to blend
Pretty and natural! the essence pretty natural hydrating foundation with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera provides a natural, medium coverage finish and weightless feel for up to 24 hours, leaving you with the perfect combo of pretty and natural. vegan, paraben free, alcohol free, oil free, gluten free.
have this in shade 050 Neutral Champagne, which is a perfect match for my fair skin. It oxides a tiniest bit during the day but the effect is almost negligible.
The coverage on this is sheer to medium coverage. This is buildable. So you can easily add more layers to the skin without looking cakey / crusty. I have oily acne-prone skin but I am currently on topical tretinoin, which makes my skin very dry and flaky these days. I have noticed that this blends easily on my skin. It doesn't emphasize any dry patches on my face. Nor does it cling to any dead skin or acne scars. It holds up pretty well for 6-8 (with a setting powder ) . I get a nice healthy glow . Overall, I like this for everyday use and I think this is perfect for all skin types.
You can easily use this on top of sunscreen. This blends easily with both brush and blending sponge. I personally apply this with a help of brush as i get more coverage with it. To conceal my acne and blemishes i use concealer and powder to hide and set everything in place .
This is easily available at all major drugstores across the city
