In some other threads different people have different experiences with the coverage they get from using the same MMU. That got me thinking whether it was really the way it reacted to someone's face or the brush they were using or their skincare routine. And I found something very interesting in my own experience.
I did not really use a moisturizer before as I was still figuring out and balancing my oily acne-prone skin. I usually use Yonka's Creme 15 + Dermol 3 as my last time. It's also a very good base for makeup and I've always based MMU coverage upon that. However recently my skin is balanced but very dry so I got a sample of Osea's Advanced Protection cream which is very different from what I was using before. It's thick, balmy and I only use a tiny amount which sinks in immediately and leaves me very matte and smooth. However it leaves me a bit too matte, when I tried to put MMU on the MMU gave me barely any coverage and enhanced my flakies REALLY BADLY. So I kept on spritzing and reapplying and peeling off some flakies to make it look better. I put sunscreen on as my last step today on top of my APC and it was better but not by much. Then when I tried it with some Camellia oil at the end makeup went on super smoothly with no flakies and great even coverage. So my conclusion is if you have dry skin you MUST use a primer or a moisturizer that won't completely sink into your skin or a light oil. The difference is big - when I used it with my all time full coverage Lumiere right after APC it gave me sheer coverage! Also I find that dampening skin or brush with a spritzer won't work as well as a good thick moisturizer or good base. So if anyone's looking for a bit more coverage with their fav MMU on days when it's needed you could try to apply a thin layer of light oil prior to your makeup application as a base (I used camellia oil) it might be the most organic way to have your MMU look good.
Note: I have been experimenting with Lumiere, Lauress and Alima and have the same thing happen with all of them. I also used Alima's brush 25 for reference as a makeup brush DOES matter in coverage as well. |
