[BEAUTY] Review: THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Slim Fit

People often say, good makeup look starts from the base. How much would you agree with this statement? I personally think that it is very true because a good foundation can hold the rest of the makeups in place for long hours :)

So I am trying out the all-new Ink Lasting Foundation Slim Fit from the famous Korean beauty brand, THE FACE SHOP which is designed to hug the skin’s contours for a flawless complexion. I guess that’s the secret of porcelain-like skin of K-pop stars out there? :P

Remember how I used to complain about some foundations being too watery (lack of coverage) or overly drying (flaky on skin)? THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Slim Fit is very different because it strikes a balance of both.

Here's the duo in the Ink Lasting Foundation: Slim Fit and Slim Fit To Go. ❤

The foundation is available in two forms:
❤ Foundation in bottle (for home use)
❤ Foundation in compact pact (for use on the go)

Ink Lasting Foundation In the Dress Room: Slim Fit || In the Office: Slim Fit To Go.

THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Slim Fit (30ml) @ RM93

UV Protection: SPF30 PA++

Available in 4 shades: V201, V203, N201 and N203

Back to basics, it is a foundation that gives the skin a “second-skin effect” by hiding all imperfections yet accentuating the skin’s radiance. Just one single drop for lasting perfection! How cool is that?

Key Features:

❤ Weightless, second-skin coverage

❤ Round-the-clock moisture

❤ No darkening or dullness

❤ Long-lasting perfection

❤ High-definition finish

❤ Non-cakey finish

Moisturising Effect

What I like about the foundation is the long-lasting moisture that fits on the skin, all thanks to the Biosaccharide Gum-1 ingredient. Unlike Hyaluronic Acid which loses its moisture as time passes, Biosaccharide Gum-1 gradually enhances its moisturizing effect! Hence, the base makeup can stay beautiful when the skin is well-hydrated.

The Formula
Another feature worth mentioning is the lightweight, skin-fitting formula. The effect of “second-skin finish” comes from the 2 star ingredients:

❤ Flat Cover Pigment: Provides natural coverage with its multiple flat layers which adhere well on skin.

❤ Air Pore Powder: Absorbs 4 times more sebum than its own size, prevents excessive shine and improves brightness throughout the day.

Texture

Very lightweight and watery, yet it melts perfectly onto the skin.

Coverage

The coverage is excellent as it covers most of the imperfections such as pores and zits. The result? A high-definition, airbrushed effect that would not turn dull, even after extended wear.

How To Use

For Oily Skin
Mix foundation with a drop of primer for better, more long-lasting coverage.
After application, blot skin gently with tissue before putting on pressed or loose powder.

For Dry Skin
Spray puff applicator with face mist / damp sponge to prevent cakey finish.
For a dewy, streak-free application, always PAT (Don't RUB!) to apply foundation.

THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Slim Fit To Go (15g) @ RM118

UV Protection: SPF30 PA++

Available in 4 shades: V201, V203, N201 & N203

While I keep the foundation bottle at home, I have the same award-winning foundation in a compact case with me 24/7 wherever I go. Easy and convenient for quick on-the-go touch-ups.

Packaging:
The contactless pump prevents bacterial contamination, and the black Rubycell puff ensures an airbrushed, poreless finish every time.

Look at the contactless pump; The foundation will only come from the center upon pressing.

As the amount pumped out from the center is lesser, it is easier to control the application
and therefore great for touch-up.

Verdict:

I love how THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Slim Fit changes the game of the makeup foundation" world -- now more lightweight, better HD coverage and more moisturising for the skin.

Is it really good? Yes! This award-winning foundation gets the seal of approval from Korean media too. Korean beauty specialists gave it a score of 4.8 out of 5 too.
