So I’ve
been eager to try out this Son & Park skinfit foundation for a while and I
finally got my hands on it! Keep on scrolling to see more :)
The Son&Park skin fit foundation is stick foundation that comes with a brush on the other end. I bought this because it seemed so handy for me when travelling, no need to bring a brush along.
The skin fit foundation is supposed to be a sebum controlling one. It's perfect for those with oily/combination skin types. In the middle of the stick, there's a green dot and that's the part that will do the oil control. I have combination skin and my T-zone gets shiny really easily during the day. But I must say, this really helped a lot. Even though I still set my makeup with setting powder.
Ok, done with talking about the packaging. Let's get back to real business now.
I've got shade #23 which is slightly a bit too dark for me (reference: MAC NC20-25). It is acceptable for now since summer is around the corner but i don't think I will be able to wear this around during winter time (which is a pity). I didn't buy this stick myself, but asked someone else to get it for me in HK instead, that's why I wasn't able to get the right shade.
The coverage is low. It is definitely ok for those without anything to hide, but I usually still have to use a bit concealer to cover my acne scars afterwards.
When wearing this with setting powder (I am currently using Son&Park 's Flawless pore pact) this foundation can really last for up to 8 hours on me.
As for application: I haven't tried using this with the including brush yet because I wanted to keep the brush clean since it seemed hard to wash the brush. But I did try this foundation using my Real Techniques expert face brush and my Beauty Blender. The very first time I used this foundation was with the RT brush, it really disappointed me. the foundation looked so thick on my face and I could see strokes all over my face from the brush. A few days later, I gave this foundation another chance but with my Beauty Blender and I fell in love. The combination of the two just gave me a perfect second layer skin. It was very thin and natural. You could barely tell I was wearing foundation. So lesson of the day: Apply this foundation with your Beauty Blender. However, I bought this foundation because it came with a brush which seemed very handy for me, so don't know if I should be happy or not..
(Blended: on the lower part of my hand only. You can see that the lower part is a bit darker/orangey than the upper part of my hand)
Below it might give you an idea for the coverage. Coverage can be buildable, but I prefer just using concealer on certain areas for a more natural and thin finish.
So the final verdict: I will definitely repurchase this foundation stick, but next time probably in a lighter shade (#21). I usually buy shade #23 when I buy base products in Korea since their products are always so light. But this really is dark for a shade #23. I forgot to mention it above, but this foundation also has SPF in it, which is awesome for the summer!
