Astalift Light Analysing Moisture Foundation (30g) - Caramel

I have tried many many foundations and I'm yet to find one that comes close to this. It just makes my skin look incredible, it photographs beautifully as you'd expect given the origins of the company. The only difficulty I can see is with the shade range, it only really caters for the palest skins. No issue for my NW20 skin but anything deeper I think you'll struggle. I've got seriously oily skin and this lasts pretty well (not even Estée Lauder double wear lasts on me). I honestly love this foundation so much, can't sing its praises enough

Lisa Eldridge uses this foundation in her tutorials, so I thought I'd give it a go. I have fair NC20 skin, bought shade Sand (second to darkest) and this is very good match for me. I did a bit of research first and it seems that the shades alternate depending on the undertone- 1 being ligthest with pink undertone and 2 being lightest for yellow undertones. For reference, I use Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 foundation in shade 010 Alabaster. The foundation is very nice in texture and creamy with medium coverage. The overall look upon application is quite flawless and evened skin. I would say it's more suitable for normal to dry skin, but I have combination skin and when properly set it stays put during working hours. It reminds me of Bourjois healthy mix foundation (not serum) but without the grey-ish undertone from Bourjois vanilla shade which is good. This is my go-to foundation when I want more dewy look. Would recommend.

I do not like this foundation. I have dry skin and this foundation emphasizes every flake. It makes my skin look patchy and does not sit well on my skin.
