• Product review: Classic foundation | Yay or Nay! 

    Hello people, today I am doing a cosmetic review for affordable foundations in Nigeria.

    Classic makeup USA is a very very popular product in Nigeria and it retails for about N2000 to N2500.

    It is a mattifying foundation and it has full coverage because it is a concealing foundation. that is, it is a foundation + concealer all in one.

    The classic foundation has a creamy consistency and it comes with a pump for easy dispensing.

    The pump

    The pump is so terrible as far as I am concerned because the foundation itself isn’t so light, the pump does a bad job at bringing out the foundation, you would have to press continously to get the foundation out.
    This foundation is meant for people with oily skin because it has a matte finish. However people with dry skin can use this foundation with the aid of a hydrating primer. I use my zaron primer whenever I am applying this foundation.
    The bottle this foundation comes in is made of glass and hence can break when not handled with care.

    The foundation has five different shades. 1-5, one is the lightest and five is the darkest of the darkest. Lol.
    This foundation is easy to blend, I use my hands, foundation brush or beauty blender and it works just fine. A little bit of foundation goes a long way.

    However, I found out that it’s wearability level is not long lasting… This foundation starts to break between 4-5 hours of wear.

    The foundation gets 6/10 from me for being affordable, mattifying and easy to blend.

    This is how it looks

    Half way through blending

    The finish product. See how smooth it looks.

    This foundation is a definitely YAY!

      This is my current foundation and i bought mine for N1500. I love that it’s easy to blend and how you only need a little amount for the face. I also had to text the code to determine if mine was genuine and the response was in affirmative.

        I love the foundation. It is affordable and it does the job. I totally forgot about the authentication code in my post . I did the same thing when I bought mine.

        Good to see you stop by. ?
