Happy Tuesday, friends! Comin’ in hot with new product review for y’all!
As you all know, I’m a big fan of beauty products and am always on the hunt for the latest and greatest. I am happy to announce that Pat McGrath is gearing up to release a hot new line of products that fall under the Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection line. There are a handful of products about to be released, but, I was lucky enough to be provided a complimentary foundation to test out and try!
I have been using this for the past 3 days and can honestly say that it’s my new favorite! Here is the description of the hot new foundation per the Pat McGrath site:
“Mother’s instantly iconic foundation builds weightlessly from a sheer veil to flawless medium coverage in 36 universal colour choices and five shade levels custom-curated for all skin types, tones and undertones. The second step in Mother’s SUBLIME PERFECTION SYSTEM delivers a customisable couture finish that brings the runway to real life in a few powerful drops. Silky and luxurious, it feels creamy to the touch and delivers controlled, easily buildable coverage. Self-setting, post-perfecting and longwearing, its sublime satin finish lasts all day.
SUBLIME TECHNOLOGY
This nourishing formulation is crafted with a Vita-Serum Complex designed to help fight the formation of wrinkles by preserving the hydrolipidic film barrier of the skin. This complex boosts hydration by activating the natural production of hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Diamond Core Powder Technology improves skin texture by optically smoothing and blurring the appearance of fine lines and imperfections. An illuminating soft-focus pigment blended into the formula converts and scatters light, emulating the effect of a healthy, youthful complexion. Formulated without parabens, talc or fragrance. Oil-free.”
My personal review:
PROS – First of all, I love how lightweight the foundation is. It has great medium coverage with buildable coverage. As you can see in my before image, my skin has a natural pink undertone with rosy cheeks (thank you broken blood vessels!). The pigment is pretty amazing so a little goes a long way which I appreciate. I think it’s great that this foundation comes in 36 different shades (I am in Light 1 for reference) so there is something for everyone! The foundation is very thin in consistency almost like a serum, and gives the most beautiful satin finish – a glow from within appearance.
CONS – I would recommend setting the foundation with a powder. It does not ever truly “set” in my experience despite the claims which does not place it in the long wearing category for me. The price point is on the higher side at $68 (which is typical for a high end product).
Overall, I would totally recommend this product. Although there were a few cons to this foundation I don’t think those cons are deal breakers and believe that this foundation is legit. I will definitely be purchasing a replacement when this one is gone!
