Hello everyone!
Hope you all had an awesome weekend. In Germany, winters are almost coming to an end and it feels so good to finally go out without covering myself in layers of clothes. Today, I would be reviewing another product from P2 Cosmetics that I picked up a while ago.
Price: 3.75 Euros for 30 ml
Product Description:
A naturally light foundation with anti-shine effect and layerable, variable coverage. The intensity of the coverage is determined by the number of layers, and can therefore be customized for any skin type and requirements. The product lasts optimally due to its integrated primer, while its valuable ingredients condition and protect the skin. It is long-lasting.

My Experience with P2 Cosmetics Nearly Nude Make Up – Nearly Caramel:
Firstly, I would like to talk about my skin type. I have normal skin which tends to get slightly dry during winters. I have a medium-fair complexion without any acne issues. I do have a couple of acne marks on my cheeks which are fading with time. I was looking for an everyday foundation which would give my skin some coverage but not make me look too made up.
Packaging: The foundation comes in a nude colored tube with a silver screw cap. The nozzle dispenses the right amount of product. The cap screws on tightly without causing any product leakage.
Germans have a pale skin tone and so the shades are tailored for their complexion. It is a little difficult to find a foundation that matches the Indian skin tone. I decided to pick up the darkest shade in this range. This foundation feels more like a BB cream to me. The consistency is not very thick; hence, I use my fingers to blend it out. The foundation blends well and provides light to medium coverage. I dab a little extra on problem areas and it doesn’t look patchy.
It stays on for over 5 hours, except for my nose where it starts fading a little after 3 hours. The foundation has a built-in primer. Now you know why it stays on for so long! It keeps my skin shine-free and makes my skin look naturally flawless. It hasn’t caused me any break outs, so I can safely say that it doesn’t clog pores.
The only problem I have faced with this foundation is that I have to moisturize my face really well before applying it; otherwise it can accentuate dry patches. During winters, the skin around my mouth would get dry. So I started mixing the foundation with a little bit of moisturizer and it worked well for me.
Pros of P2 Cosmetics Nearly Nude Make Up – Nearly Caramel:
• Light weight everyday foundation.
• Affordable.
• Stays put for over 5 hours.
• Light to medium coverage.
• Doesn’t oxidize and stays fresh throughout.
• Doesn’t clog pores.
• Built-in primer.
Cons of P2 Cosmetics Nearly Nude Make Up – Nearly Caramel:
• Only four shades are available.
• Will suit only fair to medium fair skinned Indian women.
• Not for dry skinned beauties; skin needs to be well moisturized before application.
IMBB Rating: 4/5
Would I Repurchase/Recommend P2 Nearly Nude Make Up – Nearly Caramel?
Yes to both! This is a good everyday foundation if your skin doesn’t need too much coverage. Dry skinned beauties must stay away from this though!
