Are you looking for a glowing skin without a hassle of blending and easy to apply? Well, I found one, it is from Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Loose foundation and Concealer. Read along and I will show you how I got from this look to a more glowing youthful look.
PACKAGING
The packaging of this product is just in a paper packaging which is a plus point because it helps the environment and it is economical. If you're asking where you can put it when you open the pouch, well Ellana Mineral Cosmetics also have a jar container which is cost 199pesos and named EMPTY REFILLABLE MIRROR JAR 10G. I don't have one so I recycled my Nichido container.
Transfering the product to a container might be to messy so be ready with your wipes.
It is great that they develop their brands to be eco-friendly in terms of packaging "para ma help na din yung issue noting sa Global warming". You can buy the refills and place it on any jar container.

In terms of longevity, I tested this product with a primer and without a primer. First thing is with primer, I use the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer on the other half of my face.

As you can see it brightens up the half of my face in just one layer. The application is easy and it is best used with a brush so that the product will be evenly dispersed. Below is a picture with 2 layers of foundation.
After I applied the product, it quickly set on my pores and nose. You need to blend it well using your fingers for a smooth blend. Make sure to put the product all over your face for an even flawless look.
A closer look at the product after applying to my face.
I tested this product for about 8 hours, the side of my face with primer still have the product, but on the side with no primer doesn't. The product did not last and it sits in my pores. Below is my face after 6 hours, as you can see pimple marks on my forehead was already seen and again the side with no primer set in my pores.

Am I going to repurchase this product? Yes, but you need to work out with your face condition. It should be moisturized properly because it is a powder foundation, there should be something that they can hold to. This product I need a perfectly moisturized skin or else you might see a little dryness and bumps on your skin.
Don't forget to watch my YouTube video about this productOverall, I will say that this product is good! Coverage is buildable light-medium. It covers my veins and pimple marks. This product will lift up your face, it gives a radiant looking makeup. You just need to contour your face because it leaves my face a little bit of flat and one dimensional.
Ellana Mineral Cosmetics really promised there shoppers for a good cosmetics that will not clog pores and eco-friendly products. I love all the products from their collection! Watch out from more blog feature of this PROUDLY FILIPINO MADE MAKEUP BRAND that will surely surprise you!
