DEBORAH AGE RESET ANTI AGE FOUNDATION

Till MAC came to India with its jaw dropping selection of foundations for different skin tones,skin types & purposes, us lesser mortals in India had to contend with 4-5 shades of foundations from every beauty brand.

So after having wasted  tons of money buying foundations,tested in stores under super bright store lights which later either turned ashen/looked oily/super matte/ streaky/darker/lighter on me after a few hours of wear (you know the whole foundation spiel) ...I was super fed up with foundations in general..so on my last visit to Deborah counter after shopping for some eyeshadow I asked for the SA to swatch some foundation on me. She applied Deborah Age Rest foundation in shade no. 03 Apricot on me.

So did I find my foundation holy grail ? Read on to find out more


 
 

Well the shade looked a close match to my skin tone and it blended pretty well on my skin. The SA was a young girls obviously not too clued on the intricacies of SPF in the foundation or its formulation etc,so I requested a tester tube of the foundation to try in more natural light & gauge whether it oxidizes on my skin or not.

I'm glad I got a tester tube because although the product as such is fairly decent but I didn't like the smell of it, smells of some nasty old mascara.If smell isn't a problem for you you can give it a shot. Its available in a 30 mL pot for INR 750/-

I think in this price range one can find better foundations in Revlon / Loreal so my search for HG  foundation continues.So have you ever bought a foundation which you hated after purchasing? Do share which foundation works great for you?

P.S. I like this mini tester tube, its so much easier to carry this teensy little tube while traveling for a day or two...hmmm.. now that's a thought maybe companies should explore smaller sizer stock keeping units for foundations as well...Hello! makeup companies are you listening?

  2. Hey Nivedita, I've used the Eyeshadow trios from Deborah & this foundation so far.Not such a huge fan of their foundation simply because of the odd smell.
    Their powder blushes have a nice finely milled texture.I liked the eyeshadow trios, great quality at reasonable price. ..do try out the shadow they are good
