Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation blends easily into your skin to create a soft glowing and feather like finish. A water resistant, oil free formula with Vitamin E that provides superior coverage It contains Vitamin E that soothes and moisturizes the skin. The silicones help in easy application, spreading evenly for an even toned look.
It has a lovely slippery texture which applies really smoothly using fingers or a brush.My favourite way of applying it is by spritzing a blush brush with a makeup fixer (my own version of MAC Fix Plus) dabbing it onto the foundation at the back of my hand and buffing a thin layer all over my face.I find that using a blush brush instead of a regular foundation brush gives a more air brushed finish.I have also tried applying it with fingers which gives a pretty good application too.
Blends beautifully into the skin without being streaky (once you find the right shade).
The shade (Pearl) is just awesome.When I bought this (actually at a kirana store, can you believe it!) there were only two shades available Pearl and Shell.I decided to go with the lightest shade, which turned out to be a bang on match.It is not overly pink nor yellow but a lovely peachy pink which looks very natural.
The coverage is medium but is buildable. Again this holds true if you find the right shade.After applying a thin layer all over you can easily go over areas that need more coverage with a foundation brush.
It evens out the skin and is helps tone down pigmentation.
Since it gives a good coverage and is in liquid form, it's great for mixing with your normal moisturizer or sunscreen to get a tinted cream.The resultant concoction is good for evening out the skin and covers minor flaws.
Very economically priced.
It lasts a good 2-3 hours which is pretty good.After that it makes my face look a bit greasy and dull.But what I loved the most about this foundation is that even in the sweltering heat it did not melt and start dripping like the Maybelline Wonder Finish.It does come off with sweat but it didn't wash right off my face, I still had some product on, once I dabbed it with tissue.So I strongly back up it's claim of being water resistant.Of course my application technique did help too.
Easily available, I mean I bought it at a kirana store while indulging my crazy potato chip fetish.
The features are
1. The Shade (Natural Marble) matches me well :D
2. Decent coverage for everyday use (read medium).
3. Light on skin.
4. Pretty Oil-free (and I'm saying this in super humid July).
5. Doesn't make me sweat.
6. Did not break me out.
7. Fairly matte finish (better than maybelline bb stick)
