I love Marc Jacobs as a beauty brand, their lip products are to die for, shadows as buttery
as, well butter and brushes that are some of the softest I have ever touched. Saying that I was never really a fan of their only foundation, the
Genius Gel Super-Charged. I wrote a review on it once but I think that post has since been deleted in a tidy up. Anyway I didn't' really like it, the fragrance in it was awful, and I found it just a little heavy for my skin. But the new
Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentration is so different in a rather marvelous way. I am not usually a full coverage fan as it normally means heavy and matte which my dry skin just hates. But this is so different, it feels light on the skin and while it may not be the dewy-est finish it isn't completely matte, more of a natural satin finish. The ultra-light oil free foundation boasts that it will last on the skin for up to 24 hours, now obviously I haven't tested it for that long, but it most certainly is long wearing. It contains twice as much pigment than most full coverage foundation which means you only need a very small amount to cover you whole face, which in turn means it feels like you're wearing nothing. Marc Jacobs say it has a soft matte finish which I thinks makes it perfect for all skin types, as long has you haven't got too bad dry patches. I have heard a lot of people moaning about the applicator on this one, personally it doesn't really bother me. I think the little dot applicator is the best way to apply the foundation due to the small amount you need. For instance a pump would never work down to its liquid consistency and the very tiny amount you do need. In terms of application fingers, buffing brushes, and a beautyblender works well. Fingers or a brush give you the most overage but for a really natural finish the beautyblender is perfect. For my normal to dry skin this is the most perfect full coverage foundation I have found. If you're like me and are usually a little scared of 'full coverage' then this Marc Jacobs foundation is might just be for you. Oh and did I mention in comes in a plethora of shades and tones so there bound to be one for you, I wear
Bisque Medium right now. My love for Marc Jacobs Beauty continues, what should I try next? Love...
