Hello Sweethearts,
I was looking out for some decent foundation, because I don’t why, but I am slowly getting transferred from BB creams to foundations for the fact that they provide a better coverage. BB creams are great for daily use when I want to just roam around for fun, but when it comes to attending some occasions, can I wear a BB cream? No, right! We totally need some good foundations for those events. Let’s see how my new discovery from Deborah Milano performed.
Price: 9.90 Euros (Rs 740-750 if converted to Indian currency)

My Experience with Deborah Milano Hydra Face Perfect Foundation-
I have come across a lot of foundations but this had something special amongst various brands. The foundation comes in 8 shades which are segregated according to undertones. My face pretty much has pinker undertones and foundations with yellow undertones make my skin look a little pale and dark. Hence I was happy that I finally got a foundation with a hint of pink.
The foundation comes in a medium sized tube which is a little see-though hence I can note the amount of product getting used up. The tube looks decent and is travel-friendly. It contains various fruit extracts which might be good for the skin. Also it contains SPF 15, so a sunscreen can be skipped. The consistency is a bit thick initially but when you blend it on your skin, it is smooth and light-weight. A brush or a blender will give a better application but it is easy to blend with fingers too.
It almost matched my skin tone and created a very even look. I have uneven and red patches around my skin and my mouth and they were invisible after I applied this. It will not provide a heavy coverage if used as a foundation. But due to its thick consistency, I tried to use it as a concealer. And the results were brilliant! I dabbed a little foundation on each blemish and pimple, and there were totally hidden. I couldn’t see them anymore. This provided an excellent coverage when used as a spot application/concealer.
The advantage here is that it is very difficult to find a foundation and concealer that matches totally, but what if one product can do both? I was extremely happy with the way this worked. My complexion was glowing because of the pinkish hint. It gave a slight dewy finish to my face and my face did not look oily at any point. The foundation and the conceal effect stayed on my face for 5-6 hours without melting or fading. Hence I think it was a really good buy, and all those who are looking out for a medium coverage should try this.
Pros of Deborah Milano Hydra Face Perfect Foundation-
• Convenient packaging and comes in a handy size.
• It contains fruits extracts which might be good for the skin.
• It comes in total 8 shades further segregated into shades for pink and yellow undertones.
• The foundation is easy to apply and blend on the skin.
• It gives a dewy finish to my face and my face does not look oily at all.
• It provides a medium coverage and will cover uneven patches thus making the skin-tone even.
• It is hydrating and very light-weight.
• The layer did not look cakey on my face; in fact it looked so very natural.
• I found an interesting way to use this; first apply a light layer as a foundation and then conceal the blemishes and acne; being thick it consistency it conceals everything perfectly.
• It is great to have a product which can be used to conceal and create a base; this is how there is no difference in two shades; because it is very difficult to find a same shade foundation and concealer.
• Stays on my skin for 5-6 hours without a primer; with primer it extends to 1 hour more.
• Contains SPF 15.
Cons of Deborah Milano Hydra Face Perfect Foundation-
• It might highlight the dry patches initially as the colour is pigmented; but it soon settles down.
• I got the shade in deep rose and this colour is a little more pink for me; a lighter shade in pink undertones might be perfect.
IMBB Rating: 4/5
Will I Repurchase Deborah Milano Hydra Face Perfect Foundation?
Yes I will. We do not get a lot of foundations with good pink undertones and this very much matched my skin-tone but I would just buy a lighter shade than this one. I am happy I came across this one and I would totally recommend this as it is very light-weight and looks natural.
Conclusion:
This range is very lightweight for everyday use and gives a natural finish. It also has so many shades to choose from specially segregated into yellow and pink undertones. I think it totally fits into a category of double duty product which does the job of a concealer and a foundation too.
