The Mat Velvet + foundation conceals skin imperfections, evens out the complexion and matifies with a non-oily powdery finish. The result is flawless and lasts for hours long. Its smooth, fluid texture is very stable, water-resistant and long-lasting. While it has a good coverage, it is also easy to apply. The end result can befitted to your needs. Applied lightly, Mat.

* I bought two shades mainly because the first sales assistant fail to asses my skin tone correctly uhg! but its fine I can use both colors I have the talent of versatility & creativeness LOL

* Left side is the shade #45 which is the darker one and on the right side is shade #30 which is two shades lighter? Im not sure but its way lighter than #45. Since I cant refund my makeup anymore I just bought a new one, the second sales assistant recommend me to get the #30 so even if its way lighter than my skin tone I can mix both to get a close match to my shade so that #45 wont be wasted but it's still way better if i really had my shade boohoo oh well, all I can do as of now is work with what I have.

Texture & Appearance                          

Its thick and full, easy to blend

Coverage                       

The coverage is superb! in just one layer and I'm in full coverage I might say I was really amazed and surprised what this baby can do, best applied with flat top brush.

Staying Power                           

 It does last longer as they claim can withstand a substantial heat and sweat

Pros

• Matte

• Full Coverage

• Neutralizes Redness

• Oil free

• Water Resistant

• Flawless & smooth

• Ideal even for combination skin

• Easy to Apply

Cons

• Expensive

- Can’t think of any other cons than this 

Overall Verdict

Rate: 9/10                    
           

        I can't say this is my HG foundation because I haven't tried a multitude yet... but as of now this is definitely on the top of my list I was really blown away by the result  and I had lots of compliment on how my face brighten and looks fresh, the staying power is also amazing.             
          

        When I hit my 20's my skin type suddenly changes from oily to combination skin and its hard for me to find the right foundation that can withstand my oiliness but at the same time wont dry me out and I found this foundation that really suit my needs.            

     A two thumbs up, I highly recommend this to all the ladies out there who are having combination skin, that suffer from finding the right foundation for their needs. Try this out & maybe you'll fall in love also the way I did. Definitely worth investing just be careful try not to pick the wrong shade Its kinda hard to match ones color with this foundation.

• Creates smooth canvas
• Vitamine Infuse

Cons

• Doesn't fill in the pores well
• Tends to cake if layered
• Taking a bit long to dry
• Promotes Oiliness

Overall Verdict 

Rate: 4/10

     

        Not that great filler as they claim and plus it can't controls oil nor holds makeup that long perhaps it is good for dry to normal skin... is it just me or all their products are only good for dry to normal skin, I think so because one of their main reason on creating this brand is to help people with burnt skin or burn survivors, do I sound bitter? haha I really do want to love their products but it really doesn't work on me, oh well we do have different skin conditions this might not work for me and maybe will work for others, so still glad I tried ;)

P.S Will update on the prices of all the product I already reviewed 

Cinema Secret Eye Primer Review

Claim

        

• * Neutralizes eyelid for vibrant eyeshadow color
• * Prevents creases

PROFILE

A must-have for wearers of eyeshadow! Just a touch creates a neutral surface for more vibrant eyeshadow color and extended wear--even on the darkest skintones or oil-prone skin. Prevent creases in fine-line areas and get the same color on skin that shows in the container.

Texture & Appearance

      Runny and dries fast, flesh tone in color which i think is the reason for neutralizing dark upper eyelid

Pros

•     Anti crease
•     It does Makes the eyeshadow more vibrant
•     Neutralizes dark upper eyelid

    

Cons

•      Doesn't last long for oily skin

Overall Verdict  

Rate: 5/5

       True to its claim makes the eyeshadow looks vibrant but after a few hours it creases already, so this primer for me is just average not that amazing. Still on the hunt for the best eye primer that could last longer & probably can stand oily skin, sweat & heat... I am hearing a lot of great reviews form Urban Decay and Etude house eye primer will purchase soon to see if its true.
