LUSCIOUS WHITENING BASE FOR OILY/COMBINATION SKIN



I rubbed the product amount shown above on my whole arm and hand.In case you think I took too much.



I am seriously impressed with the packaging.It comes in a sleek white tube with a white cap.The product has to be squeezed out of the tube.Consistency is creamy.


The base is white in color.On application I was a little dissappointed to find that it is difficult to blend.After application and thorough blending it leaves a white cast on skin.May be this is because of heavy SPF in it.You can see in the photo below that it looks fake on skin.It stays on the top and doesn't blend or improve skin texture.

When I applied it on face I looked  silly too.My skin is problematic and this base highlighted the uneven areas instead of smoothing them down.I was expecting it to settle down and adjust,but it stayed the same...stark white.I thought I was taking too much,but even with pea sized amount for whole face it looked white.
Now comes the oil controlling part.It did make my skin matte but failed to control oil and shine for long.My face looked like greased over after two hours.I was a spectacle seriously...open pores,shiny nose and forhead,greasy touch.Whenever I tried it,I got the feeling of wearing medicinal sunscreens available in the market.Sticky,whitish and oily.So NOT pretty.



I mixed it in my foundation.It definitely improved the coverage and lightened the shade, but made me oily after an hour or so.


I don't know why its not working for me.I have read great reviews on it from some bloggers. For the answer to my question I went at the Luscious Counter in ENEM.The sales person made me try the whitening base for dry skin and my God.It had a great texture.SO moisturizing and blended into nothingness giving my skin a polished look.However,the formula is for dry skin.So,I can't buy that one.Also the reviews saying the base was amazing were mostly for the old version of this whitening base.That was back when it came in "For all skin types" form. 


To sum it up,the base highlights dry areas and makes you oily after some time.So,Luscious definitly needs to improve this one.




RECOMMENDED:
