I’ve come throughout fairly a couple of hit-and-miss merchandise in the entire “no-makeup make-up” division through the years. Some don’t give sufficient protection to even be referred to as “make-up,” others soften off your face after only one hour. Although I do have a couple of previous favorites I like to make use of, in latest months I’ve been slowly falling in love with Perricone MD No Make-up Skincare… make-up.
Perricone MD relaunched their “No Make-up Skincare” assortment earlier this yr. I haven’t tried the unique model (at the very least not so far as I can keep in mind?) however I do have various love for what’s inside these fairly little glass bottles.
The thought behind Perricone MD No Make-up Skincare* assortment is skincare-meets-makeup. And, in their very own phrases: “No Make-up Skincare is designed to enhance the looks of pores and skin’s texture and tone over time, whereas immediately offering a good looking, no-makeup look. The No Make-up Skincare line accommodates Perricone MD’s proprietary Neuropeptide, DMAE, Vitamin C Ester, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acyl-Glutathione elements. It helps streamline your routine with multifunction merchandise.”
After months of standard use, I nonetheless can’t be sure that the Basis Serum helped enhance my pores and skin’s tone or texture. My pores and skin has been feeling and looking very wholesome, however that might be because of a lot of various things. Like cleansing up my food plan, upping my water consumption, or present process one other Fraxel laser therapy. There are, nonetheless, fairly a couple of issues I actually, actually like concerning the Perricone MD No Make-up Skincare assortment. Whether or not it truly makes my pores and skin more healthy or not… it positively helps it look the half.
Right here’s what I really like:
-The serum basis blends into the pores and skin seamlessly. Even on the times when my pores and skin may be very a lot on the dry aspect, the Basis Serum by no means clings onto any dry bits and patches.
-The end. It’s actually, REALLY stunning and pure. After I first utilized it, I assumed “nope. that is waaay too dewy for my liking.” BUT, after a couple of minutes because the product “settles” the end transforms right into a semi-matte one, that also appears to be like very pure. I truly discover that with my mixture pores and skin, I can get away with not setting my basis with powder, on most days.
-Regardless of this being a “no make-up” product, the protection is buildable. You’ll be able to go from sheer to a full-on medium. Two skinny layers, for me, is sufficient to cowl small imperfections and even out the pores and skin tone.
-The muse, in addition to the blush, bronzer, and highlighter, are very natural-looking and it’s actually tough to use an excessive amount of product. I imply, it’s potential. However you’d must attempt actually arduous.
-Most likely certainly one of my favourite issues concerning the No Make-up Basis Serum is how simple it’s to work with. Even when I solely have a couple of minutes, I can simply create that “my pores and skin however higher” base. All that with out having to test each single angle to see that every thing is mixed evenly. I believe that is actually what a “no make-up” product ought to actually be all about.
What I don’t love:
-Actually not too many issues right here that I can say I don’t love. If I’m being choosy, I assume I can say that the Basis Serum might be a bit extra long-lasting.
-After which there’s the shade choice… unhappy to say that it’s relatively restricted. Majority of the shades are likely to favor these with a light-weight complexion, and even I, as somebody with truthful pores and skin, can’t discover a good match. Often, I find yourself mixing Porcelain and Ivory.
I positively choose a easy, minimal make-up throughout workdays and this bunch works nice for that goal. It’s very arduous for me to not attain for my magnificence blender once I’m working with basis merchandise. Right here I’m pressured to withstand the urge. This basis has such a watery/serum-like consistency that my magnificence blender simply soaks all of it up. As an alternative, I am going in with this brush, and it’s an ideal match for serum foundations. One other essential factor to recollect, one I do are likely to overlook at occasions, is that you simply’ve gotta shake that bottle rather well earlier than allotting the product. The system tends to separate as soon as it’s been sitting in a single place for a bit.
