I put this basis to the take a look at with out setting it with powder or setting spray on a scorching Vegas day— it was 104° F out, and I labored up a sweat throughout a stroll within the park. Whereas I did get slightly little bit of product switch once I blotted away my sweat, for essentially the most half the muse regarded excellent even after 9 hours of wear and tear.

The principle issues I seen have been slight creasing in my expression strains (particularly my chuckle strains) and a little bit of breaking up close to my nostril, which is my oiliest space and the place sweat collected on my stroll. Once I examined the muse utilizing setting spray, each of those points have been minimized dramatically to be virtually non-existant.
Even with out setting the muse, I didn’t get very shiny all through the day. I misplaced slightly little bit of protection with my darkest spots barely extra seen, however once more, utilizing concealer can assist with this.
Although I’ve combo/dry pores and skin, I really feel like this could nonetheless work effectively for shiny pores and skin sorts. So long as you’re carrying a matte primer and set your make-up, I’d think about it will carry out effectively.
For $8, that is an extremely spectacular drugstore basis. I really like the way it seems to be so pure on my pores and skin whereas providing the correct amount of on a regular basis protection for me. It’s versatile sufficient for lighter seems to be however can maintain its personal for a full face of glam make-up with the assistance of concealer and setting merchandise.
