Foundation Catrice

In any make-up, the skin plays a very important role - it is like a canvas on which you can paint with various paints, lipsticks, blushes and shadows. And not a single full-fledged make-up can do without foundation or foundation, which, in general, is the same thing. That is why it is very important to choose the right tone. To do this, you need to decide on the color of the cream and the effect you want to achieve - radiance, matting or smoothing. There are companies that can provide products for any type and color of skin - for example, the German brand Catrice. This company has a huge variety of decorative cosmetics, but, of course, foundation creams from Catrice are worth a special ovation. The palette of shades is really huge for each product. It is worth disassembling them separately.

The first thing that attracts attention is the design. A 30 ml frosted glass bottle with the most necessary information and, attention, with a pipette! Yes, exactly, instead of a dispenser at the base - a pipette. This is very convenient, as it allows you to take quite a bit of funds, and guarantees hygiene - after all, the pipette is always inside the bottle, which means that it is not afraid of bacteria. The basis was originally intended for photo shoots - as follows from the word HD in the title. The manufacturer claims that the tone will last on the skin for a day, does not roll and does not disappear from the face. And yes, this is true - it can be called persistent.

Perhaps not suitable for owners of dry skin - as it requires well-moisturized skin, it can emphasize peeling. Hides age spots and slight redness, pores and freckles. It will not cope with large acne or open, unhealed inflammations - thus, owners of problem skin with large foci of inflammation may not fully appreciate it. However, the covering power can still be called high - the pores are completely invisible. But girls with oily and combination skin will appreciate it. This is because this particular cream will hide the oily sheen, if not for a day, then for half a day for sure.

You may have problems with application - the consistency of the product is liquid, similar to liquid honey. It sets quickly, thus giving the effect of a second skin, not a mask, but it cannot be adjusted either. A little tip - if you can not blend the product on the skin, mix it with a moisturizing or matting light cream in a 1: 1 ratio. Do it in the palm of your hand, and then distribute it with neat strokes from the center to the periphery - you can do this with a damp sponge or an egg sponge, but the tone is distributed quite well with your fingers. As a cream, you can choose your favorite or purchase a primer "Prime And Fine Pore Refining And Anti-Shine Bas" for oily skin or "Prime And Fine Nude Glow Primer" for a subtle natural glow.

The tool is presented in four tones - 010 Light Beige, 020 Rose Beige, 030 Sand Beige and 040 Warm Beige. The finish is natural, powdery and velvety, it is not necessary to use powder after it. Suitable even for hot and humid weather, as it does not flow and has a light texture.

The cost is about 500 rubles.

Another good foundation for owners of oily and problem skin. Packed in a 30 ml frosted glass bottle with a convenient smooth dispenser. "Nude Illusion Makeup" Can also be used with the same name translucent powder. The consistency is creamy, but not very liquid or sticky, slightly thicker than water. Due to this texture, it mattes well - enough for 4-5 hours, and then you can use your sister powder. The coverage is medium, it can even out skin tone, but it won’t cope with acne, it won’t emphasize peeling. Ideally applied with a synthetic brush, duofiber, for a sponge or blender it will be thick. Shades: 015 Nude Vanilla, 020 Rose Vanilla, 030 Sand Vanilla and 040 Warm Vanilla. The finish is semi-matte, natural.

Cost: 500-600 rubles.

Unlike other face creams from Catrice, this one is presented in the form of a small washer - from the same frosted glass. The consistency of the cream really resembles mousse or soufflé - airy, light and velvety. Due to this, it easily masks skin imperfections, hides pores and wrinkles (but not peeling), adjusts to its tone and evens it out. Completely invisible if you choose the right shade. By the way, the consumption due to the texture is half that of any other foundation - that is, it is economical. It is better to apply the tone with a damp sponge - it will streak with a brush, and it is difficult to apply with fingers due to the consistency. Perfectly hides bruises under the eyes and does not roll into wrinkles. For Snow Whites, choosing a tone can be problematic. Shades: 010 Soft Ivory, 015 Sand Beige, 025 Light Beige, 030 Natural Beige. The finish is matte, like a thick powder.

It will cost you 450-500 rubles for 16 grams.

The design of the bottle is the same as the others: frosted glass. The product is approved by dermatologists. The consistency is creamy, easy to blend, the cream does not contain oils, and the coating is loose, and does not mask red dots from inflammation. It lasts all day on normal to dry skin, but can accentuate flaking in the nose area, and shine appears on oily skin after 4-5 hours. Matting, as such, is not pronounced, there are light-reflecting particles, due to which radiance occurs. Shades: 010 Light Beige, 015 Vanilla Beige, 020 Nude Beige, 027 Amber Beige. Finish - despite the matteness declared by the manufacturer, the skin shines a little with foundation, not greasy, just a slight glow.

Cost: 400-500 rubles per bottle of 30 ml.

The manufacturer claims that this particular product is able to withstand the whole day on the face - it is waterproof, does not roll, does not smear and does not contain oily sheen, has a complex of antioxidants, is suitable for "snow whites" and does not cause new inflammation. Consistency - light, liquid. Perfectly masks imperfections, does not clog pores, but emphasizes peeling. It evens out the tone, does not feel like a mask on the skin, smoothes pores and irregularities. Apply with a damp sponge or beauty blender.It can oxidize, so when buying, apply a little of the product from the probe on your wrist and carefully watch how its shade changes - go outside and compare with artificial lighting. Shades: 005 Ivory Beige, 010 Nude Beige, 015 Vanilla Beige, 025 Warm Beige.

Cost: within 500 rubles.

Probably, in the line of every self-respecting manufacturer you can find this new product - a tonal foundation with a Photoshop effect. Here at Catrice is "Photo Finish Liquid Foundation". The tone is presented in a heavy frosted glass bottle, in the style of the brand, with a dispenser. A lot of funds come out, squeezing out a small droplet is problematic. However, despite this, the girls believe that the foundation is more suitable for one-time photo shoots than for life, as it looks much better in the spotlight than in the sun. Some ladies note that shades do not suit them: not because they chose the wrong tone, but because the product oxidizes, and after half an hour the shade changes towards yellowish-gray. There are also complaints about the shades - there are four of them, but not a single snow white will find a suitable one for herself, since even the lightest color is declared as "sandy beige".

It will not mask acne and severe inflammation, for this you will have to use a concealer or corrector. For oily skin, it is suitable only in tandem with matting wipes and the same powder, since the shine still appears after 3-4 hours - but with durability HD Liquid Coverage Foundation still doesn't compare. A good option for dry skin - because due to the texture it has a moisturizing effect and does not emphasize peeling and wrinkles. Non-comedogenic, which is very important, that is, it does not cause acne. The consistency is thick - similar to a baby cream, but in fact, it does not make the skin oily at all. Too thick to apply with a brush, can also cause problems when applied by hand if not used carefully, causes a so-called "mask effect", it is convenient to apply with a damp sponge or with a "beauty-bender". It does not like to layer, has a dense, but light coverage and is easily extinguished. Shades: 010 Sand Beige, 020 Rose Beige, 030 Caramel Beige, 040 Warm Beige. The finish is initially wet, but after a few minutes the tone becomes matte and slightly natural radiance.

The cost is about 400 rubles per 30 ml.
