Hi there beautiful people of the world! I am excited to share my thoughts on this new foundation which I am currently loving. Since I am acidic and has oily skin, it is not easy to find a makeup base that can give the needs of my skin. And recently I discovered a foundation which claims to give an excellent coverage and at the same time 100% chemical free, told you this one is exciting!
Out of all the products that Nature Essentials sent me, this one really got my attention. Of course, it’s makeup, who does not want makeup (“insert a little girl dancing here*)?!And this is my first time ever to try an organic makeup. So I swatched it right away on my hand!

#MICSTHOUGHTS:
I applied a very thin layer and as you can see, it lightened my skin but did not fully cover my birthmark on my hand. When I first tried this one on my face, my first impression was, it looked too light on me. By the way Nature Essentials HD Firming Foundationcomes in one shade only. I was already looking for a powder that is one shade darker than my skin tone to set this foundation. But after few minutes, just like magic, it matches my skin color. Then I realized I just have to wait for the foundation to set into my skin. Apparently, this one suits all skin tones.
So what can I say with this HD Firming foundation? Let me start with its packaging. This 30ml foundation comes in a transparent plastic bottle with pump which is more hygienic. However the amount of product it dispenses on one pump is too much for me. Because this one is matipid gamitin, you would only need small amount to cover your entire face. I also find the packaging bulky, it might consume a lot of space on my makeup kit.
Nature Essentials HD Firming foundation is fragrance-free and so creamy and thick but does not feel heavy on skin and it is so so so easy to blend – have tried blending it with brush, sponge and fingers! I think this one has satin finish, not matte and not dewey but somehow closer to dewey. I have oily skin yet it does not make my face look greasy. It can lessen the redness of pimples and also the darkness of my under eye area but it does not cover them fully. This one gives light to medium coverage and can be built up without feeling heavy or cakey. One more thing I noticed with this one, I can easily blend my concealer (liquid/cream) with this foundation as my base. Yes, I need to add a little bit of concealer to fully hide my pimple marks and dark circles. If you are blessed with blemish-free face, then you would only need this, nothing more, nothing less.
I really see this foundation more of a tinted moisturizer, it contains ingredients for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Examples are Rosehip and Argan oil which are known to be great moisturizers and can reduce fine lines and wrinkles. That’s the reason why I am not afraid to use this everyday, it is mild (I did not experience breakouts with this one) and it’s like I have my foundation and treatment already in one bottle. It also has SPF 100 UVA/UVB meaning I can skip my sunblock whenever I use this. Just make sure to apply it 30 minutes before going out.
For longevity, it stayed on me for about 5-6 hours without fading. But you know me, by that time, I am a walking grease ball! After blotting oil control film, the foundation still looked good on me, there’s no need to retouch with powder. It started fading on the 7th-8thhour and I think that’s not bad for someone who has oily skin like me! I would not say that this HD Firming Foundation has an excellent coverage but rather it gives me a naturally-airbrushed finish. I can’t explain it waaaa!! Even though it just makes my blemishes like 80% less visible, still I like to use this because its finish makes my skin look lovely and glowing. Plus it is so lightweight and breathable, feels like I am wearing nothing, even if I sweat, it is not malagkit. It makes me look like I have a naturally healthy skin. It does not clog pores also. This foundation is moisturizing and has a very soothing feel on the skin and most of all it makes my skin look radiant without looking oily! Yey!
