I typically associate radiant with more of a dewy, satin-like finish. In fact, I noticed more of a matte finish and matte and radiant don't typically go hand in hand, at least in my book. On Sephora's site, the foundation claims to create a radiant effect, which I personally didn't notice. I would describe this as a medium, build able coverage, which is what I tend to go for when shopping for foundations, at least during the fall and winter months. Presentation aside, I'm sure you want to know how the foundation looked once applied and how it held up throughout the day. The gold cap adds a nice luxurious touch, which would look pretty displayed on a vanity. I also love the fact that it has a pump dispenser, which makes dispersing the product that much easier. I like the fact that it's in a glass bottle, as it's easier to see how much product you have left. I was given 3C1 Dune and it was such a perfect match! At first it looked as though it would be a bit too light, but once blended in and applied with the rest of my makeup, it made for a perfect match. I was simply given a quiz with a bunch of swatches and asked which ones looked the closest to my skin color and tone. I first want to take the time to applaud whoever was in charge of color matching in putting this Vox Box together.

For that reason and the fact that it didn't deliver in its claims for my skin, I will not continue to use it nor suggest it, particularly if you have combination/oily skin and/or prefer cleaner alternatives.įLAWLESS LUMIERE RADIANCE PERFECTING FOUNDATION I know there are brands that aren't entirely clean or organic, but at least offer some products within the brand that are. I was disappointed to learn that this product isn't at least somewhat clean. I then tested it out with a foundation from a different brand and noticed the same results, which lead me to believe that it was the primer and perhaps not the foundation.Īs you all know, I highly prefer all natural brands or at least those that don't contain all the parabens and chemicals found in most cosmetics. It eventually started to separate and look blotchy. The first time, I tested it out with the foundation and after about 4hrs or so, I noticed that my makeup started to separate around the center of my face where I get the most oily. So for me, it's essential to have both work together (not necessarily from the same brand) in creating somewhat of a matte surface for more than just a couple of hours. I have combination/oily skin, which can make finding the right primer and foundation that much more challenging because after quite a few hours, your makeup can look like it's literally melting off. On Sephora's site, this primer claims that your makeup will stay fresh and will expertly hold your foundation for hours. I not only tested how both worked together, but how each worked individually using either another primer or foundation from another brand to see if there was a notable difference, which there was.continue reading to find out more! Though the Vox Box campaign is named solely after the Lumiere foundation, they also included the basic Foundation Primer as well.
