 THE VERDICT:

I know a lot of people who love Pink Sugar's Our Lil' Secret Concealer because it's very pigmented and stays put AF. 

Now here's something that will make you rush to your nearest Pink Sugar counter because that concealer now has a foundation counterpart! Introducing Pink Sugar Our Lil' Secret All Day Coverage Foundation, an affordable foundation that's perfect for oily skin!


WHAT IS IT?

A waterproof liquid foundation that promises all day wear. Contains Aloe Vera extracts that provide hydration and Green Tea extracts for antioxidant properties. Comes in 5 shades.

Ingredients

L-R: Light Medium, Light Warm, Beige, Medium Deep, Medium

Texture is a light cream with heavy coverage. There is very little presence of oil in the formula, which makes the product a bit hard to spread on the skin. I find that a traditional foundation brush is effective in spreading the product on the skin.

TIP: If you find the formula a bit too pasty, add a dollop of tinted moisturizer or regular moisturizer in the foundation and mix.
HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Bare skin

One layer of the foundation in Medium Deep

Medium Deep is the darkest in the range, but it's a wee bit light for me; it's like NC40-ish, but completely tolerable anyway. I just noticed that this particular shade's formula is a bit watery and needs to be shaken vigorously before usage to mix the pigments and liquid properly; I did not experience this with the other shades.

The foundation sets on the skin like...SRSLY. Once it sets, it is no budge and will take 5 hours before oil seeps through the makeup (but it doesn't choke your skin or something like that). Indeed, long- wearing AF and outstanding at oil control, plus yields medium to heavy, look-ma-no-concealer coverage. 

However, my face tends to feel a bit dry with this one because I don't have extremely oily skin to begin with, but that goes to show that this baby is perfect for the common skin type in our country!

TIP 2: To counteract the dryness, I moisturize my skin properly and use a hydrating primer. Also, if you apply too much, it may look caky so apply sparingly and mist your skin afterwards to take out the flatness of the look.

I've been out and about the city since Tuesday and put this foundation to the test; it does stay put for a long time minus the heavy feel so you're sure that you'll look amazing from your meeting in Ortigas to the one in MOA. Despite my minor problem on dryness, I like this overall because of its intense staying power; not a huge fan of retouching nowadays that's why I fancy long- wearing foundations like this one!

My dear, if your skin is oily AF, you've met your match. If your skin still oils up with this foundation, then girl, you better open a gas station (just kidding :D)!
