THE VERDICT:

With its price point, trendy shades, and generally basic makeup range, I think Jordana is one of the best starter makeup brands for teenage girls who are starting to explore makeup application.

I recently received Jordana Oil- Free Creamy Liquid Foundation (this will be part of the giveaways at TBJ 9th Mega Anniversary!), a light, straightforward foundation with a teen skin- friendly finish and price point!


Ingredients

Jordana Oil- Free Creamy Liquid Foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation that promises a fresh, promising a flawless, shine- free finish for a "woke up like this" look. Locally, we have about 6 shades available.

The bottle does not come with a pump, which is one of the flaws for me. I really prefer a pump for my foundation so I can control the amount I take, plus it inhibits contamination of the product inside the bottle.

The shade that suits me best in the range is 04 Tan, a medium shade with yellow undertone. It looks pretty light for my skin tone in the swatch, but it blends seamlessly into a like- skin finish. Consistency is a runny cream. Coverage is more of light to medium. Payoff is semi- matte.

Let's try on the foundation: 

Bare skin

Two layers of the foundation

To get medium coverage, apply at least two layers of the foundation. The foundation sets easily and  the consistency, even if a little runny, does not look streaky when blended. I also love that it feels weightless on the skin, plus provides a bit of a moisturizing feel yet without the greasiness. If you have blemished skin, use with a concealer.

TIP: This foundation is best applied with a traditional foundation brush.

The overall finish of the foundation is very natural; something that you'd wear on a casual day and on good skin days. I do believe that makeup works two ways: 1. Complements your features. 2. Enhances your features. Generally, with teenage skin, I believe it doesn't need a lot of heavy coverage (unless of course you have severe skin problems) and a foundation that evens out the skin and gives it a natural, dewy finish should do the trick.

Wear this with one of my super favorite Jordana products, Forever Flawless Pressed Powder.

As for the wear time, it stays put for about 3 hours before oil begins to seep from my pores. While this product is oil- free and won't exacerbate oily skin problems, it does not have exceptional oil control properties. Well, at least it doesn't add to the problem!

Jordana Creamy Oil- Free Foundation is something that teen girls will love because of the finish and price point: it provides sheer or medium coverage that address varying coverage needs plus it's also one of the affordable oil- free foundations out there. I can see myself wearing this product on casual days, but my nearly 30's skin has different needs now so I tend to reach for my other, heavier foundations. But if I were a teen, I'd use this!
