MUD Cream Foundation VS. Extreme weather

The next one is also amazing, but it is a challenge to find a local store that would sell this product. It is the MUD Make-up designory Cream Foundation.  This is a U.S. Professional brand that is similar to Kryolan make up brand. Upon purchase, you will receive a box for the product and the compact itself. Inside the compact there will be a mirror and the creme foundation, which I find it convenient to use during travels or rush hours. In addition, the compact is so thin that it takes up very little space on you vanity, or even you make up bag, thus it is handy to put this foundation into your travel or daily make up bag.

The color that I have purchased is YG1. Usually I buy NC 25 for MAC foundation (hopefully this will give you a rough guide if purchasing this produce online). In total, there are around 12 shades sold (according to their website). If you are in UK, there a few websites that provide MUD products available for UK delivery (I will try to find those websites and post them at the end of the blog post).

The MUD cream foundation could be applied as a sheer natural look, but you could also build it up to a flawless full-coverage look. Furthermore, the product itself could be easily blended and has excellent staying power that could be used in extreme conditions. Since it is a cream foundation, when I first touched the foundation, I was sticky and hard (obviously it is not a liquid foundation). Although I was not fond of the sticky texture, but soon I understood that this property allows the foundation stay put on your face. For everyday use, I would just apply one layer so my skin could breath and for natural light feel. For those days that you need to look extra flawless, I would as an extra layer for that extra coverage.

All in all, the highlight of this product would have to be the flawless and staying power, but it does not look cake-y on the face. When you buff in the creme foundation, it covers the skin smoothly. Then, you could set the foundation with a light touch of translucent powder and it will not slip and slide around your face. I usually use this when I come back to Thailand because of the humid weather normal liquid foundation occasionally slip and slide around my face, but with this cream foundation, the base makeup looks flawless from dusk to dawn, working time to "par-tay" time.

   Quick tip: Personally, I will use my "CLEAN" fingers to warm up the cream foundation and apply it                    on my face. Then, I will dampen a make up sponge and dab it all over my face to blend the                  foundation.

I bought this from IMATS in London, but if any of you are in UK, you could purchase this from "http://www.nuusuite.com/cream-foundation-compact.html". I am not sure if it is available in Thailand.
