CATKINPhoenix Foundation for Mature Skin, Full Coverage Cushion Foundation with Lightweight and Breathable Formula, Sheer Satin Finish, Refill Included, 13g*2

Ok I ordered even though all the reviews stated in wasn't for darker skin tones.I am mixed race with a carmel skin tone.I bought the BB medium the darker of the two choices I also brought lipstick and lip gel, blusher an eyebrow pencil. Bronzer and the bronzer defusing powder thats the one with all the different colours of bronzer in the round compact so got the full kit. Im funny like that I like to use products from the same brand.The BB cream was just a little pale for me but it is high quality.I will say its a good thing they also send a refill there's very little in the actual compact.I brought the bronzer to use like a face powder. I dont normally use a bronzer. My plan worked great. It darkend the foundation down enough for my skin one but i ordered the darkest bronzer they do.It stayed on all day without a fixing spray. One bleeding or smudgingYou will need good brushes to apply the bronzer as I did. I used it as a face powder on my face and the bronzer defusing compact thats the round compact ine just around my eyes..The over all look was very natural it gives a smooth dewy lookA word to colour choices of blusher and lipsticks the colours are lighter than shown in the pictures so go a shade darker or two than you want I will have to rebuy slightly darker colours. The lipstick gel is a perfect match to pictures so what you pick is what you get.The only product I dis liked was the eyebrow pencil just a shade to light for my liking and doesn't blend well. I suggest misting the tip before useing it will blend easier.My face did not feel dry of stiff at all through the day.Washed off the make up with soap and water it came off with no residue being left.I have to say I found my new make up.I can recommend you buying theses products but if your skin is darker than carmel give the BB cream a mis.The packaging is beyond bueatiful all the packets are magnetic really old school quality I wish they did travel sizes for my hand bag..

I was on the bench about this product,only because it doesn't give you proper swatches, it would be ideal if you could compare the brands so you don't waste money on buying the wrong colour, I don't really write reviews but wanted to help people if they considered buying this.I bought C03 , I only bought this colour because people mentioned it being light, I found this colour a little dark, its very easy to blend, and it comes in a real good quality compact with a mirror and matching poof which has a really nice design, coverage wise is amazing like it don't sink in the pores and it don't streak or oxidise, you do have to apply a few dabs on areas u want to cover but I didn't feel I was lathering it on , people say it's dry, I actually didn't think this, if you lift the sponge there's plenty in there , and yes you get a backup one, apart from the shade which is workable I'd give it four, because I think it's expensive in terms of not matching your skin tone, I decided when I have the money I will buy the C02, for reference I wear Clinique better foundation in breeze and Bobbi brown foundation stick in sand, I found C03 was a little dark

Magic. This stuff is magic. When I first opened it I was worried that the shade was too dark for my skin, as in the sponge, it looks very dark beige (I got the lightest shade). But it actually goes on the perfect colour. The coverage is amazing and the smallest pat onto the sponge is enough. It covers flaws and discolouration beautifully and easily. This foundation does tend to highlight fine lines, but the one for mature skin wasn't available in this shade. But saying that, even then, this is probably the best foundation I've ever had. I do need to use a translucent powder on top of this as it's very dewy, but it lasts all day.The compact the product comes in is gorgeous as well as practical, and there is a refill with it too!I'm very, very happy with this foundation!

Beautiful product. I have hit flushes now and this makeup starts put and looks good.

I got the darkest, and it's still only just dark enough for lightly tanned skin. I like the feel of it and it didn't crack or cake, although I'm not keen on any shine so did end up dusting key areas with powder to make it properly matte. The applicator pad was not great so I used a large short bristle foundation brush and 'stippled' it on. You also still need a concealer for more obvious blemishes or dark circles.

The first time I used this I thought it was amazing. I've used it four days since then and it's horrible. It's dry and i don't know what's changed since the first use but what a waste of money.

I got C02 because I live in the UK so I’m pale lol. Light coverage but doesn’t look cakey or patch at all like most foundations! Recommended to my sisters of similar skin tone. They also give a refill which is nice. The smell was nice, the thickness was nice and thin so it didn’t feel heavy, quality overall Is amazing!

This foundation is surprisingly good for the price. The color options are mainly in lighter shades. It provides high coverage, applies smoothly, lasts all day, does not dry my skin and doesn’t look cakey at all. I have very sensitive skin, and I tolerated this foundation quite well. It effectively covered my sunspots and added a lovely pearlescent glow.As a plus I love the design of the case, it is very feminine.I don't give 5 stars because it has no scent at all. I would prefer a classic makeup scent, but overall , I would recommend it.
