Hey everyone! I had asked my Mom to bring this foundation back from Florida because I have been wanting to try it for a long time and I can't get it here in Canada! I'm referring to the Sonia Kashuk Perfecting Luminous Foundation and mine is in a bottle but online, I noticed that it is in a squeezable tube. I believe that they just repackaged it but I'm not sure if the formula is the same.
Where To Buy, Price & Shade Selection
You can buy Sonia Kashuk products at Target and this retails for $12.99 USD for 0.57 fl oz/17 ml which is not a lot of product for a foundation. Usually, you get 1 fl oz which is 30 ml of product and that is the standard size of a foundation when speaking about the weight generally. There are only 6 shades to choose from which isn't ideal and that is quite disappointing.
Claims/Pros & Cons
This claims to be a buildable foundation with medium to full coverage. It also claims to be for all skin types. This is a luminizing foundation which helps to illuminate the skin and you are getting a dewy look when you apply this onto your face. I really liked that it came with a pump. The packaging is very sleek and it feels lightweight when you hold it in your hand. A con is that the black cap and black pump will get very dirty in no time from the foundation but that is something that is inevitable.
How It Wore Throughout The Day
I felt that it emphasized some texture that I had on my skin and did a terrible job when applied over my pimple (both are around my bottom lip as you can see in the photo down below.) It also made my skin look rather grey and ashy looking. The consistency of the foundation is liquidy and very watery. The colour match wasn't terrible for me, but it was for sure too ashy looking on my skin. Three hours into wearing this foundation was fine and my oils were not peaking through.
Shortly after that photo was taken, I was an oily mess and during the ninth hour, I was honestly done with this foundation because my oils were out of control! I blotted my face with one blotting paper and I should have gone in with a second. I did not touch-up with powder throughout the day and it wore terribly on my oily skin. Hour number nine was definitely pushing it and if you are someone who works long days, don't even think about purchasing this product especially if you tend to get very oily throughout the day like myself.
Is It Worth The Money?
This would be a great product for someone with dull skin that wants to brighten up their skin and for someone that does not have oily skin already. This is definitely a lightweight, dewy foundation that you can build up to a medium coverage at most. Also, before I even applied this onto my face, I swatched in onto my hand and I noticed that there was a scent to this foundation. After I applied it onto my skin, I could still smell the scent which did bother me in the long run.
For the price and just the fact alone that you aren't even getting 1 oz of product, I would not recommend this foundation and if you are sensitive to fragrances of any sort, stay clear of this foundation! If you are oily like me, this is not a product for you and this is definitely not for all skin types like the claim suggests! I will definitely mix it into my other foundation using a drop but I will not use it all over my face again.

(I have not altered this photo at all and this was taken in natural daylight about 3 hours into wear. Keep in mind that I was wearing the Marcelle BB Cream underneath the foundation.)

I want to try the Sonia Kashuk Soft Focus Satin Matte Foundation next because I have heard great things about it!
Update: Target no longer sells Sonia Kashuk makeup.
Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
