As somebody with extremely problematic skin myself I am always on the look out for high coverage foundations that leave a natural finish . I have found that in the Supercover foundations.
I discovered these at college as I am currently training in Make up artistry and to this day it is the best foundation I have ever used.
The finish is neither matte or shimmery but leaves the impression of skin!
Supercover covers a range of skins tones for people of all ethnicity the shades are put in to categories:
- Light. Ivory-pink skin tones.
- Fair. Beige-tan skin tones.
- Light-medium , Pale yellow tones.
- Fair-medium , Beige to yellow skin tones.
- Medium. Yellow-gold tones
- Tanned- Dark tanned skin tones.
- Medium-dark, Gold-Olive tones.
- Dark , Orange-red skin tones.
There will be a shade for everyone with over 40 to choose from!
The product consists of a high concentrate of pigment and could even cover a tattoo and due to this there are many ways in which the product can be applied. The product is advertised as a water activated makeup meaning it is to be used with a damp sponge this way, as you are applying the product the water evaporates setting the makeup meaning no need for powder! The product can also be used straight from the packaging and then powdered which would create heavy coverage. The product can be mixed with a moisturizer or another thinning agent to sheer the coverage out whilst still maintaining high pigment.
The product contains titanium dioxide as a form of SPF and protects the skin from sun/wind burn along with an anti inflammatory agent which is calming to the skin which personally is my favorite feature of this product!
The foundation lasts up to 12 hrs , is cruelty free and contains no alcohol, lanolin , mineral oils or perfume.
This foundation gets a huge thumbs up from me and will continue to be a re purchase.
The foundation retails at £28.00 for 17g which at first sounds expensive but as it comes in cream form and is so highly pigmented a little really does go a long way.
When buying from www.supercover.co.uk there is also an option of a sample pot for the cost of £3.00 which claims to be enough for one application but I managed to make mine last a week! This sample also comes with a sponge. This is also a great way to find the shade for you!
Here is a before and after of my skin using supercover foundation shade 04.
