Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation

I thought this foundation would be perfect, who doesn't want an airbrushed look at home? The whole idea of spraying your foundation on for flawless coverage sounds pretty fun! Unfortunately, when I tried the product out art home it was not as expected at all. Spraying it directly on the face is a huge mess, it gets everywhere! I had foundation all over my hair, clothes, carpet, etc. Also, it went on a bit streaky when I tried the spray-on method. So I tried it once with the beauty blender, and it gave me light coverage. I have fairly good skin, the only thing I try to cover is my pores, which thanks to my oily skin are fairly large on parts of my face. The color was a perfect match and it dried matte, which I did like. However, as the day went on the foundation started to settle into my pores and emphasize them even more (even though I used a primer), and even though some oil started breaking through, my skin still looked dry if that makes sense. I'm 20, and I don't have any fine lines or wrinkles yet (or so I thought) but after a few hours this foundation settled into little lines on my face I didn't know were there and accentuated them! It literally looked like I had fine lines, which has never been a problem before. By the end of the day, the foundation was patchy, had settled into pores, and overall gross looking. I wanted to give it another shot so I tried it one more time on a very well moisturized and primed face using a brush instead of the beauty blender. Same results. Made my pores look huge, made it look like I had lines, and went patchy. It looks great for the first hour or so but does not wear well at all. Wanted so badly to love it because it's a neat idea and very pricey, but it's just a no go. I can't imagine anyone who actually has any sort of lines or dryness on their face liking this either. <span class="shop__a pd-reviews__expand-link pd-reviews__translate-span" data-hide="-1164910204019959299-full" data-show="-1164910204019959299-short" jsaction="pdui.tvc">« less</span>

This is an essential for sure. Once you've tried it, you're not gonna want any other foundation. This product is very versitile in application, coverage, finish... It's incredible. I always get several compliments whenever I use this product. Sometimes people (family members, saleswomen, students or teaches at the university) just sord of stare at my face like it looks good. And then they comment on how it looks smooth, "what do you use?", or just that I look pretty or glowing! My skin: NC-30, combination-to-oily, sensitive; acne-proned, lot of dark spots, some redness, and very uneven (needs coverage). Review folows. SHADE: There aren't many options, but the shade range is broad so you're very likely to find a good match. I'd say the "300 Medium Beige" is a very good match for a NC-25 to NC-30 that has a more neutral undertone. The "301 Sand" is supposed to be a warmer version of "300", but I find it a bit darker and more "tanned" than "300", which makes it a perfect match for a NC-30 skin. It doesn't have as much yellow as the skin on my neck, but when I get a light tan, the shade match is 100%. The "400 Honey Beige" is a good match for a NC-35 to NC-37 skin. (My mom uses this shade.) COVERAGE: It really is buildable! The coverage is going to depend on how you apply the product. I need a lot of coverage and I spray the product directly on my face. The more product you spray, the more coverage you get. My mom sprays the product on a large powder brush and then applies it, and I find it gives the product a "little goes a long way" effect. Doesn't move into pores, but I find it does settle into fine lines a bit. Then again, I've never encountered a foundation that doesn't settle into fine lines for me. (And I'm only 22! Maybe I smile to much! ^^) FINISH: This product provides beautiful flawless finish. The finish also depends on how you apply it! Apply close to the skin for a dewy, satiny finish or put more distance between the canister and the face for a more powdery, velvety finish. It's incredible! FEEL: It soothes the irritated skin, and also cares for it. Great stuff. QUANTITY: The 70mL of product gives about 30 applications, I'd say... It depends on how often you use it, and also how much of it you use. I'm pleased with the quantity of product. TRANSFERABILITY: I find it doesn't transfer easily. as the hours go by and the skin gets more oily, it will transfer with more ease, but that's nothing a good blotting powder won't solve. I recommend Guerlain's Meteorites Pressed Powder — works wonders! DURABILITY: It lasts about 4 hours on my combination-to-oily skin, on an extremely hot and dry environment. I blot and it goes another 4 hours. Even when the makeup gets oily, with this product it's a dry, shine-fee oily. Doesn't look all greesy and disgusting! Diorkskin Airflash does the "no-longer-fresh" better than any other! So, this is a five stars for sure. Pricey, but worth it. ;} <span class="shop__a pd-reviews__expand-link pd-reviews__translate-span" data-hide="-3562110574013174176-full" data-show="-3562110574013174176-short" jsaction="pdui.tvc">« less</span>

I have been on the hunt for the best foundation for the past several months, trying and giving a thumbs-down to about 6 other popular products. This one was on my list to try for a while, but it's very expensive so it took a while for me to bite the bullet and make the purchase. I couldn't be happier that I did! For those of you looking for a great full coverage foundation, this is perfect! I tried both recommendations for application that came with the product's instructions. Before I discuss the application methods and results, let me share some information about my skin. I have normal to dry skin most of the time. However, due to an illness (Lupus), I oftentimes have a bright red flat "butterfly rash" on both my cheeks and across my nose. This can be very difficult to cover. I also experience frequent bouts of heavy sweating due to my illness and fevers. It can be very challenging to find a foundation that doesn't melt off my face as a result. Now, onto the application methods.... First, I used the brush application method. Before application, I primed my face using Stila's One Step Correct Primer. I sprayed the product on the back of my hand. Using the large Airbrush Foundation brush by Tarte, I stippled it all over my face. This gave me a flawless finish with full coverage. You have to work very quickly when applying this way, as the product tends to dry very fast on the hand and face. Second, I tried the spray application method. This is the method I prefer. You simply shake the can vigorously and then hold the can approximately 12 inches from your face and spray in a "Z" pattern from the top of your head to the bottom of your chin. It doesn't take much before your face is completely covered. When using this method, be sure to wrap your hair in a towel and cover the edges of your hair line the best you can because the foundation will go everywhere and land in your hair. It's also important to know that if you have any "peach fuzz" on your face, this application method will make it stand out more initially. Until it settles in, it will look like the foundation is sitting on top of the little fine hairs. You'll see hairs you never knew existed before. Don't be scared to use a razor and shave your entire face beforehand to help minimize this problem. I noticed that the foundation eventually settled into my skin beautifully, and my peach fuzz concerns went away shortly after application. This method gives you the most beautiful, stunning, flawless, airbrushed finish. Either application method will give you a beautiful, flawless finish that lasts all day until you remove your makeup. It covered all of the redness across my face. This foundation feels incredibly light. You actually can't feel it at all. It seems to just blend in and become part of your face. For me, this has the same staying power (actually better) as the popular drugstore foundation marketed to stay all day (no names mentioned). After applying this and the rest of my makeup, I finished it off by spraying my Fix +. I was shocked to look in the mirror after a 12 hour work day and find that my makeup looked exactly the same as when I applied it earlier that morning. No other foundation has held up the way this did! Yes, this is much more expensive than most other foundations, but it's completely worth the price! You also get more ounces in this than you get in most other foundations, double the amount in many cases. I can't quite say yet how long this bottle will last in comparison to other foundations, but I honestly don't care at this point. I found my go-to holy grail foundation, and I'm sticking with it!
