FOUNDATION PERFECTION
I have been on a quest to find a replacement foundation for the one I had been using for several years. I am 57 with combination skin and large pores. The result of very oily and acneic skin for a great deal of my life starting at about 14 yrs old. I have always worked at keeping it clean and clear to the best of my ability with assistance from my dermatologists and over the counter items including creams, ointments and cosmetics.
Now, my skin is clearer than ever, but I am left with large pores that I can never seem to smooth over no matter how much $$ I spend, or how many products I try, from concealers to primers to foundations and powders. I have never skimped spending on using the best skin care items or on makeup. I could not begin to tell you which products I have tried, but I would say I have probably tried most of them. I am a great fan of Nordstrom and the products they carry. I have tried a few a few brand name products from other stores, but really with not complete satisfaction. I have also probably tried most of the brands at Nordstrom as welI. I honestly, had not tried Dior foundation before because I didn't find a formula that matched what my needs were. When I saw that Dior had come out with this new foundation, and the Forever and Ever Makeup Base and the loose powder, I thought maybe, just maybe it might work!! I apologize for making this review so lengthy but I wanted to give the background of my search I guess something that didn't exist until this/these products! I made an appointment at Nordstrom, so I could have the correct color chosen for me and try it out. The manager at Nordstrom took her time, and she agreed that the products I was interested in were probably the ones best suited to the results I was looking for. She matched me with the light beige. Less than a week later after using the Forever, Perfect Makeup Foundation (so true), the Diorskin Forever & Ever Wear Base, and the Diorskin Forever & Ever Control Loose Powder, I am AMAZED AND SO HAPPY!! My skin looks smooth and soft, not dry and line accentuated, but soft and smooth and naturally matte. Very, very soft and so comfortable!! I used to reapply foundation a couple of times of day because it would not stay on my face. I hardly even apply the powder more than once or twice during the course of 12 hour work days (office). That has never happened to me ever in my life!!! The powder really sets it all so smoothly and so well. I would truly describe it as a setting powder!! These products are Magnificent and although not inexpensive, I'd pay double!! To me, my skin looks airbrushed and it covers my pores without being cakey or settling into them. I am reviewing all 3 of these products because I needed a foundation, a primer and a powder. My EXCELLENT results are from using all three. I would suggest you try all 3 to get the results I have gotten. Finally my foundation, primer, powder search is over. I am glad now that my previous foundation was discontinued, just sorry I had to wait so long to find this. But, I am so glad that I did!!!!
BRAVO DIOR!! Thank you so much!! If you need me for a photo shoot, I am available any time!! LOL
