Put To The Test: Younique Touch Mineral Liquid Foundation
I have been looking for a better foundation for a while now. I stopped wearing make up when I got very ill in late 2015, but for the last couple of months, I have been wearing make up once more! I love it, I missed it, but now I'm in a much better place and have the energy and inclination to do it properly.
The last foundation I bought was Boots No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation in Calico. The colour was ok, but I didn't like the feel of it at all, and found that by about 2pm it had started to separate and get quite patchy. It was very heavy on my face - you could really feel that you were wearing foundation. However, my sister loves it! So we did a little trade - she gave me the No7 Airbrush Away foundation (also in Calico) for my bottle of Beautifully Matte.
I definitely liked the Airbrush Away more, but if you wanted to up the coverage it didn't quite cut it. I always found that by lunch time it had disappeared from my nose and chin, but it was definitely more comfortable than the Beautifully Matte.
The lovely Gee, a Facebook friend, very kindly sent me some samples of her Younique products to try. I will be honest, I was skeptical to start with! These products seem to get the hard sell all the time, all over social media. That really puts me off, but Gee sent me three samples; Touch Mineral Liquid Foundation, Glorious Face and Eye Primer, and BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer.
I love the foundation - I tried it with and without the primer, and it goes on easily if you have primer or not on. It sets quickly, blends well, and the coverage is nice and variable. The best part is that the shade Scarlet is a perfect match for me! That literally never happens! I'm so freaking pale, it's nigh on impossible to find a perfect match that suits my sensitive skin.
Needless to say, I will be placing an order for some of the foundation. There is a deal on a kit at the moment, so you get the brush free when you buy foundation, concealer and primer. It's £79.00 which is way more than I would usually spend on beauty products, but a little goes a long way, and this should last me quite a while!
