Hi guys!
So you've probably heard of the latest craze; Dermacol's Make-up cover originating in Prague.
It is advertised to be:
* Waterproof
* Hypoallergenic
* High Coverage etc.
* Long Lasting
* Cruelty Free
This product seemed like the perfect type of foundation for me so I read a few articles and watched a few youtube videos but I was reluctant on trying since my skin is so sensitive/ dry. A few days later, I thought hey, I'm running out of foundation, why not try and see.
I got it on Ebay for £5.99 (shade 218) however, there are cheaper ones available but I was worried about authenticity so I went for a more trusted seller. 3 days later, I received my Dermacol (30 g).
Firstly, this product made some interesting claims (including the ones mentioned above):
* Alcholol free
* Ammonia Free
* Paraben free
* Minerals
* Sun protection (SPF 30)
* Vitamins
* Non-comedogenic (Doesn't block your pores)
Now sadly, I threw away its packaging in attempt to clean my room since I'm moving house so even being the aspiring chemist I am, I'm unable to actually quote the ingredients list. However, I was willing to put the major claims to the test!
The foundation has a thick, cream-like consistency, which surprisingly is very blend-able. I applied it using a damp beauty blender in tapping motions.
The first thing I noticed is that it has a strong smell; some sort of fragrance, which rang alarm bells in my head since I avoid anything scented. It turns out that my skin didn't react and the foundation was indeed high coverage. After application, I felt that the make-up layer felt a bit thick and it wasn't allowing my skin to breathe. Nonetheless, I pranced around my room for a few hours waiting for it to settle in and see if my skin would result in any adverse reactions.
3 hours in and my face still looks as flawless as ever! So long lasting- Check! I still had that feeling that the layer was thick (even though I applied sparingly).
I'm still using Dermacol to this day but I tend to mix it with my daily moisturiser for a thinner application which seems to do the trick!
As for waterproof, it definitely survived Manchester's rainy days (Big YES!) and accidentally sleeping with my make-up on, I would say that the foundation is non-comedogenic as I have not resulted in any spots etc. However, I would still recommend washing it off.
