Where do I begin? I HATE THIS FOUNDATION! Let me start off by saying I have oily, acne-prone skin, and large pores. So these factors may be why this foundation just doesn't work for me. I purchased this after reading so many great reviews on Makeupalley and watching reviews on YouTube.
I chose my shade with the Temptalia Foundation Matrix, and bought the shade C1--it's actually one shade too light for me. I applied a primer (Too Faced Primed and Poreless) and applied the foundation with an Eco Tools traditional foundation brush. Unfortunately, it wasn't super blendable for me. Brush strokes were obviously visible and I had to be extra careful to make sure all of the foundation was blended. After the application, I sprayed on some e.l.f. makeup setting mist.
Within an hour of applying my makeup, I looked in a mirror and was completely disgusted by my foundation. Some of the foundation had smeared off where I had touched my face after application (random itches). I could see almost every single pore on my face. The foundation had definitely settled, not only into my large pores, but into fine lines as well. It appeared very cakey on my skin.
In conclusion:
If you have oily, acne-prone skin, and large pores...you should merrily (I'm feeling the Christmas spirit) walk by this foundation in the drugstore and never look back. It's a complete waste of money, unless you like the look of cake on your face after an hour of application.
