Za True White Liquid Foundation Review, and Swatches, Indian Beauty Blog

Shades Available: 6 (OC00,OC0W,OC10,OC20,OC30 for yellow skin tones and PO10 for pink skin tones)

Ingredients:

I have the shade OC30 which is the lightest in the range and yet slightly lighter for me, still better since I have been at home since the past 3 months and not tanned at all. But I doubt these shades would work for majority Indian skin tones.

It comes in a sleek, curvy glass bottle and has a steel cap. It has a white pump inside which helps dispense the perfect quantity of product. I quite like the packaging.

The liquid foundation is very thin and runny..so don’t be surprised and also pump bit by bit when you dispense the product.

I love its water based texture and the super light consistency. I have never come across a foundation that is so light on the skin. It feels weightless and spreads  and blends easily.

Coverage wise, it offers medium coverage though buildable. You can layer for more better coverage. But if you expecting coverage of spots or acne scars with this, it won’t help. You will need to use a separate concealer for those. I like using it for daily use coz of its super light consistency and I do not like heavy coverage for daily use, so this fits the bill perfectly. Also it offers a nice,dewy finish which I love. But if you have oily skin, you will need to use a powder over this. In summers, one would need to use a powder with this,especially for T-zone. It stays on for 7-8 hours in winters and around 5-6 hours in the current,humid summers.

You do not need a lot of quantity of it and it will last you pretty long. So the price tag is kind of ok.

Here is it on me..with no concealer or powder but just the foundation.

Overall, I would say it is perfect for dry skin and skin which does not need too much coverage. If you like light texture and dewy finish, you will love this. Oily skin would need a powder alongwith. Only downside is number of shades offered and no dark shades at all.

Shades Available: 12

I have the shades Barley and Praline.

It comes in a glass square bottle packaging with a black cap and a black pump dispensor. Since it is glass, not very travel friendly and slightly heavy too.

I like the fact that it comes in 12 shades and cater to every skin tone possible from lightest to darkest. Its thick and creamy unlike your runny liquid foundation.

It gives medium coverage, even though buildable, wont give that complete flawless coverage hiding your marks/scars. Its good for everyday use, like a tinted moisturiser. And gives that dewy, glowing finish. It stays for 3-4 hours and then starts getting shiny on the T-zone since its quite rich. Oily/combination skin needs powder touch up after 3-4 hours.

Barley is  light for me and Praline is dark, so I mix the both and get the perfect shade.I think Bamboo or Creme Caramel would suit my NC37 skin tone well.

Here it is on me. I have mixed both the shades here.

I would recommend this for people with dry skin looking for a dewy finish foundation and those who do not need much coverage.

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation Review, Swatches


What the Company claims: Why You’ll Love It

Air-whipped liquid provides perfecting coverage for 100% poreless skin
Ideal for normal skin
Oil-free, fragrance-free, Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, safe for sensitive skin

Ingredients:

Expert Tip : Apply smoothly and evenly to your face and blend with your fingertips.

MRP: Rs. 575/- for 30ml

Shades Available:

  • 01 Porcelain Ivory Light
  • 04 Nude Light
  • 05 Medium Creamy Natural Light
  • 3.5 Nude Beige Light
  • 02 Pure Beige Medium
  • 04 Honey Beige Medium
So these are not 01 to 05 according to shades but the internal numbering amongst shades..so do not get confused with the numbers..Light has 01 to 05 and so does Medium..but these 6 shades are only available in India..
I have 04 Nude Light which is a little light for me..but not something with a stark difference..I guess the 05 Medium Creamy Natural Light would be a better fit..yet to check that out..
If I have to describe it in one word..love

It does everything what it claims..smooth even finish, high coverage, super easy to use. I just use my fingers most of the time..a small pump and I am good to go..more than enough coverage for me on everyday basis..if I have an event to attend, slight more and I get full coverage..it does cover up and minimize appearance of pores too.

It stays for 5-6 hours..but the issue is oily skin might find it a little greasy after some time..since it is rich in texture..

Pros:

1. Smooth even finish.
2. Medium to high coverage.
3. Pump is easy to use.
4. Blends nicely with fingers.
5. Coverage is buildable..so can be used according to your requirement.
6. Economical.
7. Would suit normal to dry skin and combination with some powder.

Cons:

1. Has silicones..so if you are allergic to silicones, try it at the counter first..or get sample if you can.
2. Only 2 shades for darker skin tones.
3. Pump dispensor, so not suitable for travelling.
4. Oily skin might find it a little greasy.

Overall if you are normal to dry skin and not allergic to silicones, you should definitely try this..others do check it out at the counters first..I love it..as much as Deborah Milano 24 Ore Perfect Foundation
