Hey everyone! Today I'm so excited to share my thoughts on the THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Glow in the shade 35ml. I've been using this foundation for a while now, and let me tell you, it's become a staple in my makeup bag!
First off, the texture is amazing. It's super lightweight, almost like a serum, which makes it incredibly easy to blend. I usually apply it with a damp beauty sponge, and it just melts into my skin, leaving a beautiful, natural-looking finish. It doesn't feel heavy or cakey at all, which is a huge plus for me, especially during the warmer months here in Korea.
The coverage is a solid medium. It's perfect for everyday wear because it evens out my skin tone and covers up minor imperfections like redness and slight blemishes without looking like I'm wearing a mask. If I have a breakout or some darker spots, I just go in with a little extra product or a concealer, and it builds up nicely without getting patchy.
What I really love about this foundation is the 'glow' aspect. It gives my skin this healthy, radiant look that makes me feel like I just had a good night's sleep. It's not a greasy shine, but more of a subtle luminosity that makes my skin look plump and hydrated. This is perfect for achieving that coveted 'glass skin' look that's so popular here.
I've tried this foundation in various situations. For a casual day out shopping in Myeongdong, it provided a comfortable, long-lasting base that didn't feel sticky even with the humidity. For a night out with friends in Hongdae, it held up really well, looking fresh for hours. Even on days when I'm just running errands or working from home, it gives me that polished look without any fuss. It truly lives up to its 'lasting' name, staying put without settling into fine lines or emphasizing pores.
One thing to note is that if you have very oily skin, you might want to set it with a powder, especially in your T-zone. However, for my combination skin, it works beautifully on its own. The finish is just gorgeous – a healthy, dewy glow that makes my skin look its best.
Overall, the THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Glow is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a foundation that offers buildable coverage, a beautiful radiant finish, and comfortable wear. It's definitely a product I'll be repurchasing!
To really make the THE FACE SHOP Ink Lasting Foundation Glow shine, I love pairing it with a few key products:
1. Hydrating Serum/Essence: Before applying any foundation, prepping your skin is crucial for that 'glowy' finish. I like to use a hydrating serum or essence, like the THE FACE SHOP Yehwadam Revitalizing Serum. This adds an extra layer of moisture, plumping up the skin and creating a smooth canvas for the foundation. It helps the foundation glide on effortlessly and prevents it from clinging to dry patches. The extra hydration also enhances the natural glow of the foundation, making your skin look even more luminous and healthy.
2. Illuminating Primer: For those days when I want an extra boost of radiance, I'll use an illuminating primer before the foundation. Something like the espoir Toning Glow Primer works wonders. It subtly catches the light and gives an all-over subtle sheen that peeks through the foundation. This combination is perfect for special occasions or when you want to achieve that 'lit-from-within' look. It amplifies the 'glow' effect of the foundation, making your complexion appear exceptionally bright and dewy.
3. Lightweight Setting Powder: While this foundation has a beautiful glow, if you have combination or oily skin, or if it's a particularly humid day, a light dusting of setting powder can help with longevity without dulling the finish. I recommend a finely milled, translucent powder like the innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder applied only to the T-zone or areas prone to shine. The key is to use it sparingly so you don't lose the dewy finish. It helps to control excess oil and keeps the foundation in place without making it look matte or heavy.
4. Cream Blush: To complement the dewy finish of the foundation, a cream blush works beautifully. Products like the 3CE Face Blush in a soft peach or rosy shade blend seamlessly into the skin, enhancing the natural, healthy flush. It melts into the foundation, creating a cohesive and radiant look without emphasizing texture.
