New Milani Conceal and Perfect..is it really the best foundation?
The Conceal+Perfect retails for about $9.99 and like most drug store products, you can find them at your local CVS, Rite Aid, or even Walgreens. You can also purchase it directly from the MilaniCosmetics.com website or Amazon.com. I found mine at my local Kroger grocery store. I must admit, I went to my local Walgreens here in Atlanta, as well as a few CVS's and they were not yet carrying the liquid foundation. I was about to give up and order it online until I went to my grocery store...who figured right? LOL
Product Claims
This foundation claims to- Combat under-eye circles
- Redness
- Imperfections
- Give full coverage
- Water resistant
- Concealer
The foundation comes in about 14 shades to match any skin color...honestly, the store where I purchase it from only had about 5 of the shades..not all 14. If you're store has one with all the shades, kudos to them. If not, you may just need to order online and wait for it to be delivered versus the instant gratification of having it in hand when purchasing it at your local store.
Directions for Use:
*Bitty Tip* Prior to using, make sure you have a clean palette. Make sure you use a moisturizer. I usually put on my day time moisturizer with SPF 15, let it dry or soak into your skin. Then I follow up with a primer. Once the primer is dry and soaked up, that's when I start applying my foundation. I also use a setting powder to set my foundation once I've completed applying it to my face.As a foundation Apply a dime-sized amount of product with your fingertips or a brush beginning at the center of the face and blend outward.
As a concealer
Use a small amount of product and apply where additional coverage is needed in a tapping motion until blended.
(It's really your personal preference whether if you want to use your fingertips, brush, or even beauty blender.)
My Thoughts..is it really the best foundation?
Ok, I think it's a pretty damn good foundation thus far. I wouldn't say it's the "best" foundation as there are many that I like...however, I would say that it is the best drug store foundation that I've found. And I've tried numerous ones. I did find that it was creamy and thick, similar to Lancôme's 24 hour wear and comfort foundation if you've ever tried that. It does give full coverage for sure. A little goes a long way and it does blend very well and has a pleasant smell. I did find that it lasted a good long time, I had mine for about 6-8 hours, and at the end of the day, it still looked good. Keep in mind, I did use a primer and used a setting powder after I applied the foundation. It covered up any redness I had, and I had one small pimple at my temple, and it covered that up real well.
I would say, for $9.99 a bottle, it is definitely worth it, and you don't have to use so much since a little foundation goes a long way. I used my fingers to apply the little that I did have, and it was a little too much, so I switched and used a beauty blender to finish applying it evenly. The foundation does give nice finish. I personally used Milani's mattefying face primer and my makeup looked flawless! Giiirrrrrlllllll yaaaasssss!
At the end of the day, you can't really go wrong with this foundation. It's inexpensive. It does what it claimed it would do, and it looks great..not to mention, they have a rainbow of shades to choose from so finding your color shouldn't be too difficult. I hope this helps you in making your decision in trying out the foundation. I would say it's my favorite one...even beating out my high-end foundations that I have..and I do have a few on my vanity table. This is my go-to foundation to whip up an everyday look...for the workplace..or anywhere really. Thank and keep a lookout for my next review!
