FOTD 09/20/13 Dior Nude compact spf 10

This is the newer version of dior nude compact. It's the first time I use the newer version after getting it. I know it's not a newly released product anymore. But still it's newer than the old 3- shade- (highlight powder and contour) in- one compact.

I had the old version nude compact and I must say the old one is a lot dryer than the new one. The new one has better coverage to me because it's less powdery. It's like foundation in an ultra creamy powder form.

I would say this nude compact powder has almost the same texture like the flawless compact. The new naked compact powder feels lighter. The coverage of the new nude powder is better than the older version but less than dior flawless compact.

Though it's called 'nude', the coverage is medium buildable. It's not heavy at all like some other Japanese powders. The longer it stays on the skin, the more nature it looks.

So far Guerlain compact powder has the most beautiful healthy glowy finish on my skin. The dior nude powder makes my skin looks naturally beautiful as well. But I do not feel any glow on my skin. I suppose it's because I am in period and am not in good skin condition. Anyway it's my first time wearing this foundation after buying it. I will keep the information updated.

FOTD: ALMAY Wake me up foundation mix with Almay TLC foundation

Today's foundation to investigate is the mixture of Almay TLC foundation and Almay wake up foundation. The reason why I mix the two is because I love the long lasting power of TLC foundation and the sheen of wake up foundation.

The finish was really beautiful--healthy glowy but flawless. However after 7 hours of applying the mixed foundations, I noticed the foundation disappeared around my nose and lip areas. I don't know why since I did not touch my nose and face at all. But the foundation stayed really well on the rest part of my face.

FOTD 09/18/2013 RMK POWDER FOUNDATION

Today's foundation to observe is RMK powder foundation. It's the one with pearl layer on top and powder on the bottom. I mixed the two layers by swiping through with my brush. Because of the pearl layer, the finish is very glowy and dewy. My face does not look powdery at all. It looks like a healthy skin with lots of moisture.

However after 3 hours of applying it, I saw powders caked around my nose. I did not understand why because I blended it really well when I applied the foundation on. It looks fine in the first hour.

Though the foundation gives such a nice glowy finish, the cakiness around my nose spoiled everything because it turned out not to be natural look at all. Maybe it's because of the weather I am not sure. I will keep my investigation on it and update the information.
