I was on the lookout for a good natural foundation and I have found it!!!
Its the zuzu luxe oil free liquid foundation with SPF 18
Now first let me tell you that zuzu luxe has reformulated their product( according to the gabriel cosmetics representatives I met at whole foods), so the one I got is in a plastic squeeze tube with a silver cap and Not the one with the pump as shown in the website.
The ingredients and the color options have changed too.
Ingredients-aqua( infusion of aloe leaf juice), glycerin, cetearyl alcohol, calendula flower extract, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopheryl acetate, limonene, cellulose gum, lecithin, silica, mica, xanthan gum, cetyl alcohol, kaolin, iron oxides, titanium dioxide, potassium sorbate.
The description on the packaging -
A weightless multi-mineral foundation packed with botanical ingredients the provide antibacterial and oil regulation benefits for skin that tends to clog and breakout from conventional formulas. An exclusive blend of proven age fighting antioxidants has been added to combat the damaging effects caused by environment as well as a chemical free full spectrum sunblock to shield skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays. The result is a fresh healthy complexion with a velvety finish.
Colour options- they have a good range on colours and for my Asian medium toned skin I chose L-14 ( Remember that they have changed the colour options too now)
Now lets get on the with the actual review-
The tube is a 1 fl oz tube( 30 ml) and comes in a basic plastic tube, there is nothing fancy about the packaging.
The consistency of the product is a very smooth liquid, it comes out easily, and has a nice velvety texture.
Even with my bad skin ( breakouts, redness, scars), you need a very small quantity for good coverage- i usually smooth it on with my clean fingers and it slides on very nicely. Its neither too drying nor too heavy, in fact once you put it on you feel like you have not applied make-up, but don't let this fool you. This product has AMAZING coverage!
I usually use a little more on my scars and my redness and my under-eyes. I have noticed that you can build up the product and it still feels weightless and does not look cakey.
I usually set it with the zuzu luxe dual powder foundation ( review coming up soon).
I have received a lot of compliments after I started using this foundation and some of my friends who tried it have ordered this already
Results-
have been using this for 4 weeks now and I must say this is the best foundation I have tried to date.
the PROS-all natural ingredients
oil free
great coverage
lasts quit a while
Does not cause breakouts ( Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!)
Has a natural sunscreen built in ( but I would recommend using sunscreen under this too)
Looks natural and not made-up
CONS- so far I have not seen any problem with this product- I love it and will continue using it!!!
I purchased this product from Whole foods for around 29 bucks. You can check out all the gabriel and zuzuluxe products via the following link
