Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation - Review

The wedding season has come and you need to look glam and flawless. Are you low on budget? Do you need a pocket friendly product as you foundation? Well, I have the perfect foundation for you. Before you buy it, you may just go through some descriptive details about it.

The Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation is a must try for all Indians. It is that product which you will find in everyone's vanity.

Packaging :

  • Comes in a sturdy glass bottle
  • Has no pump, dropper or a spatula
  • Has a dark copper colored cap that has the shade name and the suitable skin shade written on it.
I am in the shade Natural Marble and it is for "Fair to Wheatish Skin" as written on the cap.

Net Volume: 27 ml

Price: Rs. 140 ( However you can get it at a much lower price online or in local shops)

Odor: Mild sweet fragrance


Shelf Life: 30 months

Claims: 

  • Oil Free 
  • With Vitamin E
  • Water Resistance 
Consistency: Semi liquid consistency. Easily blendable.

Coverage: Medium to Light coverage. However you can build it up but then, it will look cakey.


Lasting: The foundation lasts for a maximum of 5 hours. For oily skin the lasting time is lesser.

Application

Since this foundation is liquid in consistency hence if you are applying it with your hands and dragging it, then that would be streaky and patchy.

The best way to apply this foundation is with a sponge and in dabbing motion.

This foundation gives a whitish hue to your skin but eventually it oxidizes and sits on your skin.

The product is drying, so it must be used over a moisturizer or a primer.

One thing that you will notice about this foundation is it will dry up very fast. So the application must be as fast as possible. It is advisable to use very less amount of the product at a time.

Finally to the Pros & Cons of the product.

Shades:                                                                       
                                                                                  
I am in the shade Marble. However there are three other shades available:


  • Coral - has a yellow undertone to it. It is suitable for fair to wheatish skin,
  • Shell - has a dusky undertone. It is suitable for wheatish skin.
  • Pearl - has a pink undertone. It is suitable for fair skin.
Finally to the pros and cons.

Pros:

  • Easily available
  • Cheaper than most foundation with a good quality
  • Easily blendable
  • Medium coverage gives a natural look
  • Travel friendly
Cons:

  • No pump which makes it unhygienic and not spill proof
  • Dries up to quickly. If not blended properly then it will leave streaky marks.
  • Comes in a glass bottle. 
I surely would advise you to go for this product. This is an amazing foundation for the beginners. Appropriate for natural and simple party makeup.
