Review: Artistry Exact Fit Longwearing Foundation ;)

Hello! It's been so long since I last talked about a foundation! Today I have a very special product to present - Artistry Exact Fit  Longwearing foundation! Let me just tell you that this is my first ever Artistry product and I have never before tried anything by them. I have read many great comments and recommendations, but never got to buy anything from them. This product however was  a very exciting one for me to try out as I had quite high hopes for this one! Let's see how well it fared! :P

Pozdravljeni! Tokrat se po dolgem času oglašam z oceno tekoče podlage, saj o njih že dolgo nisem pisala. Predstavila vam bom prav poseben izdelek in sicer Artistry Exact Fit Longwearing foundation! Naj najprej poudarim, da gre za prvi izdelek znamke Artistry, ki sem ga kadarkoli poskusila. Pred tem sem prebrala že mnogo odličnih komentarjev in priporočil, ampak mi nekako ni uspelo, da bi si katerega izmed njihovih izdelkov tudi sama privoščila. Testiranja izdelka sem se zelo veselila in moja pričakovanja so bila zelo visoka! Pa poglejmo kako se je podlaga odrezala! :P

Packaging, price - It comes in a sleek black and golden/white box. Inside is acrylic bottle with a plastic cap on top. Love the added golden A on top! The packaging is quite light and contains 30 ml of product. It includes a pump, which is great as it's easier to use and dose the right amount of product, plus your fingers  don't get in touch with the rest of the product. Price is  45,72 euros at Amway store, you can check it out here!

Embalaža, cena - Izdelek je pakiran v lično črno škatljico z zlatim ter belim napisom. V njej se nahaja plastična "steklenička"  s plastičnim pokrovom. Super mi je dodatek črke A na  vrhu pokrovčka! Embalaža je kar lahka, steklenička pa vsebuje 30 ml izdelka. Vsebuje pumpico za doziranje, kar mi je res super, saj tako prsti ne pridejo v stik s preostankom izdelka, pa še lažje je dozirati željeno količino. Cena izdelka je 45,72 evra na spletni strani Amway, več si lahko ogledate tukaj!

O izdelku - Ta izvrsten puder je odporen na vročino in vlago, prekrije nepravilnosti in izboljša naraven in sijoč videz kože. Posebna mešanica ARTISTRY EXACT FIT tahitijskih biserov in optičnih prizem zagotavlja brezhibno in neprekinjeno prekrivanje, medtem ko ekskluzivna ARTISTRY™ tehnologija zaklepanja barv poskrbi, da vsak pigment ostane na svojem mestu. Izbor 9 odtenkov se popolnoma sklada z vsemi teni kože.

Shade - At Amway.si you can get 9 different shades! I have shade L1W1, which is the lightest shade with a warm undertone. The names go by numbers and letters, N meaning neutral undertone, C cold undertone and W warm undertone. I have quite light, warm and yellow-ish skin shade so this was the best choice for me.

Odtenek - Na strani Amway.si  je na voljo kar 9 različnih odtenkov. Sama imam odtenek L1W1, ki predstavlja najsvetlejši odtenek s toplim podtonom. Imena namreč sledijo številkam ter črkam, N pomeni nevtralni podton, C hladnega ter W toplega. Sama imam svetel ten kože, topel ter rumen (načeloma mi ravno zato super ustrezajo Bourjois podlage). najsvetlejši odtenek je bila najboljša izbira zame!

Texture, application - Texture of this foundation seems like a dream! I love that it's creamy but on a more liquidy, runny side. The application is due to the lightweight texture very easy and can be done with fingers or with a sponge/brush, however you prefer. I have noticed that I can make a better finish when I use my sponge on top. Blend it all with my fingers and than just go over a bit with my sponge for a softer finish. Love that this is so easy to work with! Texture is light, feels very comfortable on the skin, like I have nothing on at all! It doesn't contain any fragrances and it's not greasy - very important fact for anyone with oily skin type!

Tekstura, nanos - Tekstura podlage je naravnost odlična!  Je sicer kremna ampak hkrati bolj tekoča. Nanos je ravno zaradi lahkotnejše teksture zelo enostaven in se ga lahko naredi tako s prsti kot tudi gobico/čopičem. Na sebi sem opazila,da je najbolje če podlago najprej nanesem s prsti in nato zaključim s parimi rahlimi potegi gobice, da je celoten izgled bolj mehek, prehodi pa bolje zabrisani. Nanos je res enostaven in hiter! Tekstura je res lahka, občutek na koži je zelo prijeten, kot, da sploh nisem nič nanesla. Podlaga ne vsebuje dišav in je nemastna, kar smatram za zelo pomemben faktor, sploh za vse tiste, ki imamo masten tip kože.

Finish, coverage, lasting power - The finish of this is quite matte on me and most of the time I don't really need to add any finishing powder on top, but I do that just to set everything, mostly because I am used to. I have oily skin type so to me this is a normal step, but to others this might not be necessary. Coverage is good, but more or less just medium. It can be built up in thin layers, but I prefer to wear this foundation in a thin layer or maybe two and help conceal other spots with a corresponding concealer. It covers my redness very well, helps me even out my skin tone and gives a nice warm glow, however it doesn't conceal my acne bumps that well, it does need some concealer help. I have read a couple of other comments and reviews from other beauty blogger who claim this gives them medium to full coverage. I guess this depends also how much you like to apply and in what condition is your skin. Lasting power is amazing - as promised! It lasts really well on me, a full 12 hours day with no problems! I do help it a bit with a setting powder on top and a good primer!

Zaključek, prekrivnost, obstojnost - Zaključek pudra je matirajoč in načeloma ni potrebe po dodatnem zaključnem pudru v kamnu/prahu, čeprav ga sama vedno nanesem, če drugega ne iz navajenosti, saj imam masten tip kože. Morda bo drugim ta korak odveč in vam bo podlaga že sama po sebi dovolj matirajoča. Prekrivnost je dobra, srednja. Lahko se sicer nadgradi prekrivnost, nanesete lahko več tankih slojev podlage, sama pa raje nanesem en tanek sloj podlage, morda dva ostale napake pa prekrivam z ustrezajočim korektorjem. Puder dobro prekrije rdečico, lepo izenači ten, moji koži podari topel sijaj, kljub temu pa vseeno ne prekrije vseh mojih mozoljčkov. V ta namen uporabim ustrezen korektor, prav tako za področje pod očmi. Pred testiranjem sem sicer prebrala kar nekaj komentarjev, da izdelek super prekriva, da je nekje srednje do polno prekriven. Predvidevam, da je to odvisno predvsem od tega koliko izdelka nanesete na obraz ter v kakšnem stanju je vaša koža. Obstojnost je fantastična - kot obljubljeno! Na meni izdelek super obstane, polnih 12 ur brez problemov in popravkov. Sicer priznam, da pudru malce pomagam z zaključnim pudrom ter dobro podlago!

Overall review - I love this foundation as it's lightweight, very easy to apply and blend. I don't have a feeling I even have anything on my face! I love it's actually longwearing, the matte finish is a big plus as I have oily skin, it's  got a lightweght and non greasy formula and also offers SPF 15 UVA/UVB. The only thing I could wish for is a bit more coverage, but than it would probably have a thicker texture and wouldn't look as natural as it does now! Removing foundation in the evening is easy, but you do need to use a good cleanser as this is really stuck to the skin and needs maybe a bit more work or a good oil cleanser! As I prefer to wear thin layers of foundation I must say I am not bothered that much that some of my acne are still visible, as this really feels so lovely on the skin! I give this 5/5 points! Great job, Artistry!

Povzetek - Podlago obožujem ker je lahka, enostavna za nanos ter zabrisovanje. Pri podlagi ni občutka, da imam kaj težkega na obrazu, ampak čisto obratno, sploh ne vem, da je tam! Obožujem, da je podlaga res obstojna, mat zaključek je vedno dobrodošel pri mastnokožkah, kot sem jaz, plus je tudi lahka in nemastna tekstura! Ter še zadnji velik plus je SPF15 UVA/UVB. Želim si le morda malce več prekrivnosti, ampak bi v tem primeru govorili najverjetneje o bolj kremni, težji teksturi, ki pa morda ne bi delovala tako naravno na koži, kot deluje ta! Odstranjevanje podlage je enostavno, potrebno pa je res učinkovito čistilno sredstvo, lahko tudi takšno, ki odstranjuje vodoodporna ličila ali pa kakšen oljni odstranjevalec, saj se podlaga res odlično oprime kože! Ker sem sama navajena, da nosi čim bolj tanke sloje tekoče podlage, me dejstvo, da se kakšen mozoljček kdaj vidi čez sploh ne moti, saj je občutek na koži res izjemno prijeten! Izdelek ocenjujem s 5/5 točkami! Odlično Artistry!

And swatches - first photo is my bare face and than with foundation on!/ Demonstracija na obrazu - prva slika je brez podlage, ostale so z podlago!

I hope this post was helpful to you! I would recommend this to anyone with mixed to oily skin type as this really performed great on me! ;)

Upam, da vam je bila objava v pomoč! Toplo priporočam puder vsem z mešanim ter mastnim tipom kože, na meni se je res odlično obnesel! ;)


Thanks for reading!

Hvala za pozornost!
