Advantages: 3 in one, Good price

Disadvantages: Not huge range of shades

After seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar advertise the new inovation in make-up I have to admit I will intruiged. I had been looking for a foundation and it seemed like a great idea and I was hopefully that it would work.

This product is designed as a 3 in 1, it is a foundation, conceller and power all in one, sort of product is really easy to apply and is fanstatic for those who are fairly new to make-up or haven't got alot of time to spend on getting ready.

I bought this in Superdrug where I paid £5 for it, which was on special offer, I thought at the time it wasn't the cheapest item I had ever bought but I believed that it would work. However, when attempting to buy it I did have a few problems. When I went in there were only 7 shades, I found one for me. However, there wasn't a huge range luckily there is alot of testers around in the shop so I was able to test them out.

Once I got it home I tested it straight away. It didn't seem quite as good as it did in the shop. The make-up was a little gritty when I put it on and felt slightly greasy too. I tried not to let this put me off and used it on my next night out.

This time it was brilliant, I found that the colour suited me better at night so if it doesn't work sometimes don't throw it away, there is still a chance it will work.

Application of the make-up was really as easy as on the advery though, all you have to do is twist the stick up and apply to your face. Just put it on in lines and when you have done left and right side, followed by chin and forehead then you can blend it. I personally thought that using a spone was easier as then I didn't get it all over my fingers but fingertips work fine too.

I honestly thought it would be heavy and when you first apply it, I have to admit I was a little concerned about it. However, once you rub it in, the foundation becomes alot lighter and it gets a powder texture.

This is a go
od foundation, personally I wouldn't but it again as my skin is too sensitive but I think for alot of people with normal, balanced skin this would be a good investment.
