Hello fellow beauty lovers :-h This product that I am about to review was sent to me as a member of the trial team on the Australian beauty website Beauty Heaven. The idea is to give it a good test drive over about a 4 week period, then submit a written review sharing my thoughts on the experience. So, here’s telling you all :D
I’ve always been fond of Dr Lewinn’s skin care products, but with their latest Skin Perfect makeup range, they have focused on building the bridge between makeup and skincare, introducing a 2-in-1 (or make that even 3-in-1, if you consider it a sunscreen too) luxury anti-ageing cosmetic line-up. <:-P As a busy woman, usually I’m pressed for time, so I always welcome taking on a multi-tasking approach, when it comes to my beauty regime. ;) Not like your average makeup, Dr Lewinn’s Skin Perfect Foundation features additional ‘turn-back-the-clock’ benefits, such as ingredients that promote skin renewal and encourage collagen production, for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin. It’s also infused with hyaluronic acid that retains moisture to nourish and soften skin and minerals to enhance luster and create a healthy glow. SPF, however, is what I consider to be the ultimate age fighter, used to protect against UV damage, one of the main causes of premature aging. =D>
The Dr Lewinn’s Skin Perfect Foundation is packaged in a 30ml frosted glass bottle with a pump-action dispenser. It features a silver metallised collar and a brown cap, which compliments the brown lettering and contributes to an overall sleek, stylish presentation that is ultra classy. B-)
The consistency of the foundation is light and creamy, with a velvety, silky smooth texture that glides onto my skin and blends with ease. Because the formula boasts SPF, unfortunately the foundation smells more like a sunscreen than anything else, :-S however it’s not an offensive smell and it dissipates soon after application. #:-S The fluid and sets rapidly, leaving a weightless, natural-looking, dewy finish that plumps my skin and radiates vibrancy and luster. The medium coverage doesn’t cover all of my imperfections, but it’s quite buildable, so by layering over problem areas, I can achieve a fairly decent camouflage. :) I have the shade Latte that matches my skin tone to perfection, disguising facial redness and minor flaws for a uniform complexion, creating a ‘not wearing foundation at all’ appearance that looks like real skin rather than a mask. >:D<The staying power is mediocre, possibly due to my oily skin type, (meh, seriously I can’t win a trick with oily skin) =(( and after a few hours my face is quite shiny, ~X( although a quick dusting of translucent powder quickly corrects the problem. (Phew, thank you lordy lord) [-O< I don’t experience any caking, streaking or patchiness and the foundation doesn’t settle into fine lines or fade, instead it seems to provide a healthy, illuminating glow, which is manageable as long as I keep the shine at bay. I usually apply using a cosmetic brush or beauty pod, but in this case, fingers also do a pretty good job of delivering flawless results.
I love that this foundation provides the additional benefits of sun protection, as well as coverage and correcting properties. :x I can’t claim to have noticed a significant improvement of my premature aging skin concerns, yet I’m more than happy to use it over a longer period to see how it develops. :-w I do admit though, after I’ve applied the foundation, my face takes on a delightfully youthful glow, so in that respect it truly rocks! \:D/ We live in the day of multi-tasking products, so to have a foundation that bridges the gap between skin care and makeup (and sun protection) is pretty nifty and ideal for those who lead a busy lifestyle and prefer to cut corners. I would definitely recommend the Dr Lewinn’s Skin Perfect Foundation to anyone wanting barely-there, natural coverage, which promotes a gorgeous, luminous complexion that looks younger and visibly more radiant. (*)
TIP: Use in conjunction with the Dr. LeWinn’s Primer in the same range for even better results.
Have you tried this foundation, if so what do you think…yay or nay? :-? What about any other anti-ageing cosmetics products? Makeup/Skincare combinations are being seen more and more on the market these days, after all in this day and age most of us appreciate multi-use beauty products! In your experience are they a good idea, fair enough they save you time, but do they really replace the individual steps effectively?? :-/The image in this post is generic.
