My skin description:

My thoughts ... 

Color Match: Usually when I purchase a foundation, I like to choose one that is one or half a shade lighter than my skin tone because I find that a lot of foundations tend to oxidize on my face, making my complexion look a bit dirty and orange. The makeup artist at the Chantecaille counter ensured me that the Future Skin foundation doesn't oxidize at all and she was right ! The shade "Alabaster" matched my complexion perfectly :) 

Coverage: Although Chantecaille claims this foundation to be medium-full coverage, I think that it is only buildable to a medium coverage; however, I do agree with the claim that it helps to "ease the appearance of flaws" or in other words, helps to blur out my imperfection. Because of this, I find that the foundation actually doesn't need to be full coverage in order to make my skin look perfected. 

Finish:
- gives a natural glowy look
- completely undetectable on the skin
- doesn't emphasize dry patches
- minimizes the appearance of large pores

Texture: As described by Chantecaille, the Future Skin foundation is extremely lightweight on the skin even when I apply a few layers to build up the coverage. The gel-like texture makes it effortless to blend and meld the foundation into the skin. 

Application: The Future Skin foundation is honestly a fool-proof product. I've tried applying it with my fingers, a Beauty Blender and a brush and the finish looked amazing with every method. For more coverage, I recommend using a flattop foundation brush and for less coverage, I recommend using a Beauty Blender or just your fingers.

Longevity: For a dewy foundation, Future Skin's lasting powder is actually very impressive. I still remember wearing this foundation for over 11 hours and my complexion still look evened out at the end of the day. On top of that, my pores were still nicely covered and my face didn't look like a grease ball. Of course, the foundation didn't look like it was just freshly applied and my face wasn't completely oil free, but after so many hours, I really can't expect it to still look flawless. Despite how it faded around my nose and how my T-zone got slightly oily, it still looked great overall.

Scent:
- no scent

Overall: The part that I love about this foundation the most is that it looks incredibly natural on the skin. The best way to describe the finish would be that it looks like I have naturally good skin and that I just have a light moisturizer on. Not only does it help blur out my imperfections, but it also helps to smooth out the look of my skin. On top of that, I find that it continues to stay looking fresh throughout the day even when I forget to touch up my T-zone sometimes. In my opinion, this is one of those foundations that can truly suit people of all skin types !
