Hey guys!
Over the past few months all I have been hearing about is Inglot's HD perfect cover up foundation, so I decided to go out and try it for myself. I purchased my foundation at the Inglot store in Blancherdstown. When I arrived a lady called Amy sat me down and helped me pick a colour suitable for my skin tone. Although we were waiting a while to get served, they were quite busy and I knew what I wanted so I didn't mind. When we were being looked after the staff were really friendly and helpful and actually listened to what I wanted instead of selling me what they wanted to sell. As I don't wear fake tan we decided to go with a natural colour in the shade 71. Not the fanciest name i've heard for a product but its not the worst i've heard, so I guess it'll do.
The first thing I noticed was the packaging. The clear container with black rims is so clean cut and simple and very in touch with macs style of packaging for their studio fix foundation.
When applying it, it feels so different then any other foundation i've used before. The texture is so lightweight and velvety yet it is extremely high coverage and build-able what more could you ask for?. It blends in seamlessly and smells slightly fruity, which is always a bonus because who wants to smear stinky flesh toned liquid on their faces, if it smells good, at least you're smearing nice smelling flesh toned liquid on your face right? It might not be a major selling point but it does make applying makeup an even better process or if your not in the mood to wear makeup, it makes it a tolerable process.
The real question is how does it wear?. I decided to wear the foundation for a full day with no top ups as I got on with my day to day life including working in a cafe that felt like
500 degrees, getting caught in the wonderful Irish summer weather and even taking a quick nap/ Netflix session (I lead a very interesting and fulfilled life I swear). After first applying it I wasn't expecting it to last very long before it started to look like I rubbed my face in cake batter but I was pleasantly surprised with the staying power of this product. After wearing it for a full day with no top ups it still looks as good as it did when I first applied it. As expected it had wore off slightly but not to a major extent and with a bit of powder it would look perfect again so to say i'm satisfied with Inglots magic creation is a bit of an understatement.
What makes this product all the more sweeter is the fact that its only 33 euro for a 35 ml bottle and for a foundation that does everything thing it claims it does and more that's an absolute bargain. Inglot's HD foundation is my first Inglot purchase and I will most defiantly be re-purchasing it when it's all gone, it might give me an excuse to go back and accidentally buy some of their amazing eye shadows that I keep hearing about!
See you soon! x
