THE VERDICT:

So what's with the title? Why do I use this if I want to sport the skin I had when I was 13 years old? (lol). Kidding aside, yes, it's meant to make skin look 'younger' because YSM stands for Young Skin Makeup. It's one of the most popular face products of Inglot.

The shade I got is 41, which is comparable to MAC's NC40. However, I find it a tad light for me, but it's forgivable. I just use a shade matching powder to even this out and make it look outstanding in pictures. But even if the shade's kinda' light for me, it does not look too off, nor does it yield a white cast in pictures. It is because this particular shade (I don't know if it's the same with YSM's other shades though) has a good mix of olive and yellow undertones. It matches my undertone, and the olive in it makes the foundation somewhat turn beige/brown on my skin. Thank goodness it does not have hints of pink undertones at all.

How does it make your skin look 'young'? It's like this: YSM foundation yields a medium coverage that practically evens out your skin tone and covers skin bumps. I found out that it can conceal minor skin marks too. But if you have severely discolored marks, you will need a concealer underneath this foundation.

Consistency is pretty thick, yet it can be smeared easily. It has a light floral scent. I like using my fingers or a foundation brush when applying this one. And the great thing about this is, it dries to a matte finish! I still set it with powder though to seal the foundation on my skin. My oilies were kept at bay for a good 5 hours, or even more. Sorry I can't remember the exact number of hours, but one thing's for sure: it kept me shine- free for a long time.

The tube is pretty small though. But don't let its size fool you, because this tube will last you for a long time. You will only need a little amount to cover your entire face! I'm good with around two layers, and that's like 2- 3 pearl- sized drops.

Check out my skin in this photo. The foundation significantly changed my skin texture, yet it made my skin project through all that gunk. It does not look fake and cake-y even in person! Can you tell I'm wearing foundation here? It's so nice because it's so undetectable in pictures, even up- close!

One more thing, Inglot's products are not tested on animals. So no fluffy bunnies or cute hamsters were harmed during the manufacturing of their products. :)

I want more Inglot! If I have the chance to visit their store or order from anyone who sells it, I'll get my right shade from this line, and their AMC Foundation!
