In Detail The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals Cream Compact Foundation with SPF 15 Review

I got this product 4 months back when it went on sale in The Body shop store. I have combination skin and creme foundations are usually not my first choice. But this product offered a matte finish after application so I got really interested. I really like the packaging here. It is a matte finish packaging and has a glass on the upper part which gives a view of the product inside. On opening, it has two compartments. The upper compartment has the foundation and the lower compartment has the brush in it. The brush is really nice. It is a flat brush with quite dense bristles. The bristles are very soft and make it easy to apply the foundation on the skin. On properly blending the product with the brush, the finish comes out really nice. Very impressed with the packaging.

I got the shade 208 Golden Vanilla. The texture of this foundation is creamy. When I apply it, it gives a medium coverage with even finish. However it does not really make my skin look absolutely matte. Instead it gives me more like a slightly dewy finish. So I use a compact powder on top of this. It stays on me for a nice 8 hours and touch ups are needed only 2 or 3 times specially around my T zone.

It really evens out my skin tone and covers up the blemishes on the skin. I have also used it as a concealer and found it working great like that as well. I love how this gives a very natural glow on the skin with medium coverage. I always prefer foundations which give a medium coverage because I feel like I am more comfortable in wearing them on day to day basis.

If you have dry skin type, then you can apply a moisturiser and wear this. Oily skin beauties can wear it straight with or without a primer underneath. Can set it with a compact or powder if needed. This foundation is going to be my goto foundation for winters I feel. It is sure one of the best foundations I have ever used and will recommend this to everyone looking for a medium coverage foundation.
