Flower About Face Foundation in #6: Review , Swatches – Glam Radar

by Jane · March 13, 2015

I personally feel that foundation is the centerpiece of every cosmetic line – a good foundation can make a lasting impression of the entire makeup line. In the case of Flower Beauty, while the lip and eye products were disappointing, their foundation is quite remarkable. I wasn’t happy with the Flower About Face Foundation during my first impressions video because for $14 it applied streaky. After changing to a flat top foundation brush and stippling it on, the streaks were no longer a problem. Instead what you’re left with is a beautiful natural finish and that’s ultimately what sold me on the product. Even though it’s expensive for a drugstore light coverage foundation, it makes your skin look healthy, fresh, and that you’re not wearing foundation. This is the kind of foundation that NARS Sheer Glow should have been. While the texture is a little thick, it doesn’t cake onto the skin, cling to dry patches or blemishes, settle into pores, and doesn’t feel oily. In the dead of the winter on my normal skin, it gets shiny around 5-6 hours but doesn’t fade until 8 hours which is really impressive for how low coverage it is. I recommend this for those who with dry to normal skin types who want a light coverage foundation that wear wells throughout the day and looks beautiful. I personally wish it had higher coverage (so that I don’t waste more product building up the coverage) and mattified my skin better but I can’t take points off for that. **Shade 6 matches my NC25-NC30 well.                                     Price: $13.98 at walmart.com and select Walmart locations
                                    Pigmentation: Light and buildable                                     Texture: Medium thickness                                     Pros: Wears for 8-10 hours; beautiful natural finish; doesn’t cling to dry patches; isn’t
                                    cakey; doesn’t settle into pores
                                    Cons: Light coverage (wastes foundation); expensive; gets shiny around 5-6 hours
