Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup Review/Rave!

Hi loves! I'm definitely late (wayyyy late) in trying the Neutrogena Healthy Skin makeup but, late is better than never! Anyhoo! I was using Revlon Photoready makeup ever since it was released. But me having ALOT of hyperpigmentation the Revlon Photoready was just not cutting it anymore- with the little specks of glitter and shimma shimma (as Marlena from MakeupGeek would say) it was just highlighting and emphasizing my problem areas! (thumbs down) After running out of the Photoready I quickly ran to Target (HEAVEN!) and sought out a new foundation. I was in a rush due to a baby shower I was set to attend, so I picked up the Neutrogena  Healthy Skin makeup in Fresh Beige. Initially I was thinking "I heard this foundation leaves a dewy finish and that makeup would just slip right off of my face due to my oily skin." Me being the rebel  I am I opted to purchase the foundation, even though I was out of town with NO other foundations as a back up. But good news dolls! I absolutely LOVE this foundation! I read some reviews on this foundation awhile before I got it and loads of beauties suggested to apply this foundation with your fingers I tried that way but it was a very sheer coverage when I used my fingers. I needed more coverage so  I applied it with a MAC 109, loved it! but today I used a Sigma F40 angled contour brush just because it was clean and I was lazy but it really shocked me I really liked how well they worked together! Contrary to what I've often heard about this foundation it lasted a solid 9 hours for me, and that's with minimal setting powder ( my T-zone went oily during the day but that is normal for me regardless of the foundation) . The coverage is actually very good for some like myself who has lots of hyperpigmentation. Unlike my Revlon Photoready it did not leave my skin looking cakey- which I'm soooo thankful for I despise cake faces! Also, this foundation does not oxidize that weird orangey color like some MAC foundations do. The foundation does in fact leave a nice dewy finish but much to my surprise that only made my skin look well, healthy with a "natural" glow and not like I was doused in baby oil- which i thought it would look like. Here's a photo of me before I had ANY makeup on (Yikes! lol) and the photo beside it is a photo of me in the middle of the day with the Neutrogena Healthy Skin makeup on.



I have on:
Neutrogena Healthy Skin makeup
MAC studio finish concealer in NC42
Maybelline Faslies mascara
MAC Virgin Isle creme blusher
MAC lipstick in Costa Chic



***my only con for this foundation is the packaging! Booooo for no pump!

  3. I know you're just starting out on this blog (I am as well :) but I stumbled upon it and the look and feel of it just makes me happy! I love it so far and am excited to see what you have coming up :)

    I've been so tempted by this foundation and couldn't decide if I should get it or not, but this swayed me. It looks phenomenal on, I'm totally impressed! Also, everywhere I went I see this foundation for around $14, but I recently saw it at Walmart for only $9! Might be worth checking out :)
