Over the years my foundation requirements have changed. Now that I am a work-from-home mum I need something that is quick and easy to apply, long lasting, covers up my blemishes and dark circles (from sleep deprivation) and does not feel like my skin is suffocating. I've tried countless products over the years but have never really found that one specific foundation that stood out and kept me wanting to go back when the product was finished. Now I've found it. I must be honest and admit that a) I expected to not find the correct match to my skin tone during the colour testing b) I expected a heavy foundation that caked my skin Boy was I wrong. The shade 'Honey Beige' matches my skin tone as if it were made for me specifically! The foundation is packaged in a super stylish gold compactum with a special little place for the sponge - perfect to pop into your handbag for a night out. You literally have to lightly swipe the sponge across the foundation and it is enough to provide the perfect layer of coverage onto your skin. The foundation is light, does not flake or make your skin look dry and does wonders in terms of coverage. What's nice is that an extra swipe here and there can give you that extra coverage you may need in those problem areas. In terms of the price, I am happy to fork out R295 as I can see it going a long way and my confidence levels are worth it! Overall I am thrilled with this product and honestly cannot see myself going back to another brand of foundation...ever. Thank you thank you Elizabeth Arden for this amazing foundation!
