Catrice All Matt Foundation

One bad reaction to a peeling got me some spots of hyper pigmentation now the professional that does my face is on top of it and it is becoming better. But I had a lunch with a friend planned that I hadn’t seen in a while. The foundation I did have left my cheeks look ashy which wasn’t the look I was going for. I didn’t have many option as I don’t wear foundation that regularly. So I went out and got this one.

What does Catrice say about their product?
The particularly skin-friendly texture of the vegan foundation doesn’t contain microplastic particles or parabens and is free of oil and alcohol. This makes it ideal for oily skin and skin prone to impurities. In addition to lasting for up to 18 hours, the mattifying make-up is also transfer-proof. Vitamin E protects the skin from free radicals and evermat ensures a long-lasting, soft-matt finish. The pump allows an optimal dosage of the foundation and the cap is made of recycled plastic.

The packaging

The foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump, I personally find this very hygienic. The foundation comes in about 18 shades which is not the widest of margins but pretty alright especially looking at the colours. The problem is I have never seen any of these colours in store, I go to different shops regularly in different cities in the country and that seems a bit odd to me. I would like a store finder that shows which shades the stores stock. I have said this before, I am always between 20 and 40 with my shade in all drugstore brands, my shade should be no where near the darkest in any store. I want to be able to recommend it to other but I need to be sure their shade would actually be available to them.

What do I think
It looked great no ashyness in side. It stays on well, it’s not too heavy. It is very matt but I do not mind that from time to time. It is not the highest coverage but it is pretty alright.

I bought this product for 6,99 and it contains 30ml. It does what is says and I enjoy using it. I also like the smell, it smells a bit sweet and flowery.
