Essence Stay All Day 16H Long Lasting Makeup Review

Hello pretty ladies, how is everybody doing today?

The only time I used foundation was for my 4th grade annual day. The teacher had slapped on her foundation on our face and we were looking no less than a vampire. I made the discovery of “white cast” on that day, but found a term for that when I started taking baby steps in the makeup world.  My biggest fear was not finding the right shade for my skin. After reading lots of articles and stuff, I found out that my undertone is yellow. To help me with testing of the shades, I took my mom along with me to the beauty shop, so I could get a second opinion. I choose Essence because I think it’s the perfect drugstore brand and I thank you IMBB for introducing me to the brand.  Coming to the review:

My Experience with Essence Stay All Day 16H Long Lasting Makeup:

Coverage:

The coverage is medium but it is buildable.

Texture:

It is a liquid foundation which is neither runny nor too thick in consistency.

Fragrance:

I have to mention that I am not the best at describing fragrances and my blocked nose due to cold doesn’t help the situation. I can tell you for sure that it is mild and nothing weird.

Finish:

It has semi-matte finish, 5 hours after I saw dewiness (dewy finish).

Shades Available:

1) Soft Beige.
2) Soft Nude.
3) Soft Sand.
4) Soft Honey.

While looking for a shade for my skin tone, I told the SA that I wanted to test it out directly on my face. She was sweet enough and agreed. She told me to use moisturiser underneath to avoid patchy look. While testing the product at home, on one cheek, I applied foundation and on the other moisturiser+foundation.

I could see the difference very well. It doesn’t break me out. I applied at foundation around 11 am and came home at 7 pm; it was intact for more than 7 hours. It is doesn’t feel heavy at all, it feels like second skin. It doesn’t oxidize at all. Actually, the foundation brightens my face. It also photographs well.
