Many years ago I used something from YSL that was similar
to this, almost like the glow shots, had a gel / whipped texture with slight shimmer - I would get asked what foundation I was using by so many and I'd tell them... of course when you like something it goes away - When I saw this in the Chicago Social magazine I wanted
to give it a try - Unfortunately YSL is the only place it's sold currently, so I had
to go by swatches of YSL shades
to guess what I should use - I got B40, I have olive skin - tone, with neutral undertones, in Armani Luminous Silk I am 5.25 - I could have gone
to B30, but I like the glow it gives me - The only
difference from this foundation
to the one I mentioned I used years ago is there no shimmer in this formula - When tested on my hand against the Armani Luminous Silk, the YSL doesn't move as fluidly, however on my face it went on very easy over my Omorovizca
Gold Rescue Cream, which is very heavy - I think with less moisture on my face it will look more matte, but I prefer a very dewy finish - It does cover up any imperfections, for me it's maybe an area that is a tad red, and so far as held up well - It's not like I am some outside laborer, I work inside behind a computer so it shouldn't start melting or anything... if so I'm concerned for my well being in general - It does give more coverage than Luminous Silk, so I think most will be happy with that, as well seems
to adhere
to the face pretty well - I can see this being a pretty
big hit for Spring foundations and even the summer - I applied this morning with a brush and it took the lovely blast of 18 * while walking
to my office, walked in looking dewy so cheers
to All In One Glow for keeping me glowy as I pretend
to enjoy working -
I think the
big difference really boils down
to Momentum being a Visa, so more acceptance, vs the
Gold American Express which gives so many more points
to restaurants and entertainment.
