Artdeco Long-lasting Foundation

Hello again! :)

I used the color 03. The colors don't have
names. I have very fair skin, so I tend to
be the lightest color in any foundation.

So I was planning on uploading this post on Tuesday or Wednesday, but I got my sister's result pretty fast and I'm only waiting for her long-term result, which could be coming up next week or so, just to see if she gets any dry patches or something like this. 

So here's my review on the Artdeco long-lasting foundation: 

This is the back of the packaging
which contains all the wrong
promises.. :(

The packaging looked good and promising. The  foundation has SPF 20, contains vitamin E, which has an antioxidant effect and is supposed to kill of bacteria, and the foundation is also supposed to be containing oil-absorbing agents who are supposed to control shine. Since the oil absorbing agents failed so badly on my face I am not able to tell if the vitamin E showed any effects. After I put the foundation on and did my usual make up routine, using mattyfing powder for oily skin, did my contouring with powder products and put on my blush my skin got shiny within not even an hour. I touched my forehead very gently and I had that oily stuff from my forehead on my fingers. So I didn't even bother to take any pictures. No one wants to see that oily skin :D 

This is the container the foundation
comes in. It's a simple plastic
bottle.

I tried several primers before using the foundation and having a final opinion about it. I tried the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, didn't work with the foundation, my skin got oily. Same with the NYX HD Studio Photogenic Primer and Base and the NYX Shine Killer. With the make up I usually use all of the above work, but with the Artdeco Foundation none of them did. I even tried the foundation without a primer, trying to find a mistake in the primer. I thought maybe the foundation is supposed to be used without a primer. Same result. I got very oily. Usually I only tend to get only on my forehead, the bridge of my nose and my chin. But this time my whole face got oily, which is unusual, even for me. The good thing is, that I did't get any break outs, which is the only positive thing this foundation did for my skin. 

So now here's a short-term result from my sister, who has dry skin: 

The foundation worked just fine for her. No blotching, no oil, no creasing into dry patches, which are usually around her nose and after testing it for one day no new dry patches. She even said that it made her skin feel soft after she took it off. I put on her make up today to have the same base for testing the foundation on different types of skin, so we used all the same products, besides the lotion we put on since mine is again for oily skin and hers is for dry skin.

So my first result is, that the packaging is very misleading. The foundation is supposed to be for oily skin, but it's clearly not. Maybe it worked for other people with oily skin, but I totally dislike it. I'm just going to give this foundation to my sister and hope it works better for her in long-term use. So basically I threw away about 20€ for a foundation that doesn't work at all on me. I'll just stick to me old make up, which I'm using for over a year now. Maybe I'll be doing a review on this next time, which should be at the end of the week :) 

Have a good week everyone :)
