I was matched to shade #ii Alabaster, which at first I idea was too pale or pinkish for me.

Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude Makeup Foundation: Good coverage, but not thick

The product itself is actually surprisingly lightweight. I was expecting the Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude Makeup Foundation to be thick and heavy, because it looked similar foundation, and because I was somehow thinking in my caput, "Elizabeth Arden = mature brand = probably has a thick gooey conception". Anyway, it does come out flossy, only information technology'southward non as heavy as it looks.

Another thing I noticed that was, when I tried it on, it really had a surprisingly luminous end! When I blended it onto the dorsum of my paw, I thought that information technology was going to be very matte and cakey looking. But when I applied it, I was surprised by how glowy it looked, giving a dainty finish that looks luminous just not unnatural. There are no big specks of glitter in this one! I likewise plant that it had pretty practiced coverage. It probably covered most 70% of the visibility of my acne marks and undereye bags, and the rest I could just use a similarly-textured flossy concealer to dab over it to get fuller coverage (in this case I used the sadly discontinued Prescriptives Anywear Makeup Stick). I also applied this foundation over a calorie-free moisturizer (Hada Labo ES Sensitive Skin Lotion), and information technology blended out just fine. I establish the product pretty moisturizing, though, I simply added it over a moisturizer considering it's a habit of mine. I wore this for half a day of sedentary action, and I had to say it was pretty good even afterwards a few hours - no oxidation, fiddling slipping or sliding, and more often than not, my makeup looked much similar how I had practical it.
