Review : Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation

Hey lovelies.

Well it's about time I talk about this newly addition to my foundation stash, the Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Cover foundation.

I've come to term that I'm officially a foundation junkie. If there's a new foundation release, I'll be hoping around like bunny. Terkinja-kinja macam ekor kena gigit kerengga. Atoi sakit oi, kesian Misbun Sidek dulu.

Tak paham kan. Tak mengapa. I'm krik krik krik like that.

Anyway, there are three traits in foundation that can reel me in just *snaps finger* like that. Haa kau macam mean girl gaya.

Long-lasting, full coverage & matte. And this new foundation from Marc Jacobs claims to do just that!

PRODUCT
Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Cover Concentrate

SHADES
29 Bisque Golden

AVAILABLE AT
All Sephora stores in Malaysia.

PRICE
RM229

The foundation claims to be an ultra-lightweight, oil-free foundation concentrate that delivers 24 hours of full-coverage wear. It contains very concentrated pigment which contributes to it being so full coverage. Like a dot of it can cover soooo much. It's so pigmented, like soooo pigmented.

The foundation is housed in a thick frosty glass bottle which looks so neat and luxurious. Bold-ing and Italic-ing on looks so neat here cause once you open the top cap up, all hell breaks loose. The foundation will smear all over and even when you close it back, there will always a residue left on the inner rim of the applicator. I've tried wiping it off but it keeps getting messier. You you rebellious you!

The applicator of this foundation is something I've never seen before. Many said that it comes with a dropper but what it really is actually a dotter.

Wait..dotter who?

What I mean is when you pull open the black cap open, there's another silver cap that you need to twist open that actually is a long wand with sphere shape on the end. So this particular wand or dot-er, if I may, holds the foundation on to it and you can dot the foundation directly to your face or on the back of your hand.

Wai boder wai boder. Why do I bore you with the explanation, here look.

So you pull the black cap off.

There's another cap which embedded to the dotter I was telling you.

Twist it up.

Here here! See? See? The wand with a sphere shape on the end.

THE dotter.

And here is when I figured out I have anger management issue.

That was after it was being wiped off so enthusiastically that smokes starting to come out from my hand.

So annoying -.-"

Moving on, a dot of this foundation goes a long way.

So let me take you through journey of applying this foundation and how long does it hold on my face.

FYI, I have an acne prone skin with scarring and redness all around my face having Xmas party. And my face produces mother load of oil. Like lombong Petronas. I'm not kidding you I could fill up a glass full of oil in seconds. The way I describe things, so sexay ain't it mayte?

Can you hear the sound of chirping birds? Ahhhh~

Okay so it's not my intention to make you vomit with this close up but I just want to show my actual skin condition. Redness here there, some zits to match, oohh and dents too. #ilovemyself #dahkenapa

So here how it looks with 1 layer on the right side (your left) of the face.

I totally forgot to capture it but I put like one dot to my cheek and another one on the temple. See how well it covers with just that much? Full coverage and pigmentation, check check!

As I was buffering and blending the foundation on my skin, I heard the sound of the brush grazing my skin. I couldn't figured out what it was, but then I realized. The foundation is so light weight that it feels like brushing on a paper.

Okay, now that we have established that, let me show you how the foundation performs after 4 hours. Since I have a very oily skin, it takes around 4 hours for the oil to surface even if I set the foundation with powder.

Amongst many reviews that I've seen on Marc Jabobs Re(marc)able foundation is that it is really great for oily skin since it is considered to be a matte, full coverage foundation.

Matte, you say eh mayte?

You probably can't see well from this distance so here, let me zoom you in. Or zoom me in. Heee.

Ok, zoom in some more.

Usually with any foundation, the area that I tend to get oily the most is on my nose and the sides of it it. And this Marc Jacobs foundation is no exception. As you can see my face esp my nose it so shiny like a moon light reflecting on the surface of calm lake on midnight. Did I do a good job in making it sounded not as gross? *fist bump*

In the case of a full coverage foundation, no matter how light weight or oil-free that it claims, it tends to cake up on my face after it gets oily. But what I like with this foundation is that I can touch it up with powder without making it cakey-ier.

Like so.

So to sum up how the foundation fares on my skin:

Before

After

After 4 hours

PROS

- Full coverage

- Light weight

- Highly pigmented (need just few dots for entire face)

- Comes with so many different shade for every skin undertones (yellow, pink & peach)

CONS

- Gets oily after few hours

- Tends to look cakey

- Expensive

- Clings on dry patches if not properly moisturized beforehand

FINAL VERDICT

I didn't highlight this earlier but the foundation does cling on dry patches. It doesn't look like it on my pics above because I've richly moisturized my face beforehand. I've tried using it without prepping my skin and I look all wrinkly like Gollum. Haha. So no matter what skin condition you have, moisturize is a must.

I've had my share of bad luck when it comes to hyped up products, especially foundations. Not this one in particular. I'm easily tempted to try out foundation when I heard so many blooming reviews on it; how it's so beautiful on the skin and so long lasting , only to find the opposite performance on my skin. And that's just it. My skin. You may be oily and I'm oily too but it's still different. Also I live in a very dry and humid area; summer all year long if you may, so foundation melt down is kinda anticipated already. Esp on my greasy face.

That being said, I think this foundation will work great with normal to combination skin. People with dry skin can also rock it too but I would suggest you to heavily moisturize your face. I love that it's very full coverage that I don't need to layer on concealer to cover up my spots. Who has time for that? It's an expensive foundation but I think it's bang for your bucks since you need little amount for your face. Lesser if you already have a flawless or not too flawed complexion. And kudos to this foundation line for catering for every skin undertones with an extensive shade selections. I was a bit overwhelmed at first to be honest cause there's too many to choose from, it took 2 beauty advisors at Sephora to help me out. Me and my complicated complexion. #ilovemyself2.0

Although it's light weight and very thin in consistency when you blend it out, I love a foundation that's a bit "wet". Not making sense right? I mean like Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, you know what I mean? So yeah, I will use this foundation up to the last drop, or dot, but I probably won't be purchasing it again.

Hope this review helps.

Tutorial #24 : Ultimate Eid Smokey Glam Makeup Look

Raya yeay! Raya yeay!

Have no idea what makeup look to go on Eid? Getting bored of the same neutral natural look? Don't worry bebeh, I gots you.

*ini bukan iklan Go Shop*

What better excuse to pop on those glittery glitz glam eye look other than to merempuh rumah orang during Raya? Meriahnya raya kata kau, tak cukup lampu liplap liplap kau lilit dekat pagar rumah. Mata pun nak kena begermelapan.

Oh, gemerlapan. Bunga bunga matahari, anggun mekarrrr.

No?

"Pem, aku cinta pada kau Pem" *suara itik*

No? Gemerlapan anyone?

Okay, I speak alien language if you haven't already know.

If you want to know how I achieve this look. then keep on scrolling down bebeh.

Step #1:

Prime your eyelids to prevent eyeshadows from creasing. Use Makeup Geek Peach Smoothie and dust it on the crease; blending it upwards.

Step #2:

Use Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear and place it in the crease as well. Make sure to blend it with the transition color in Step 1. Blend tonyoh tenyeh kamonnnnn hiyarghhhh~

Step #3:

To darken the crease even more, use Makeup Geek Mocha and blend it into the outer V. Blend the color into the crease all the way to the inner lids.

Step #4:

To make the look smokier, use Makeup Geek Corrupt and pat it in the outer V. Don't worry if the eyeshadow gets all over the edge of your eyes. You can clean it up later and the world will become a better place again. Mihmih.

Step #5:

Next, use any green or dark eyeshadow color as a base before slapping on the glitter. This can help the glitter to pop even more. I mixed the green and turquoise eyeshadow from Marc Jacob The Siren palette and place it all over the eyelids.

Step #6:

And now the fun part. The glitter. Ahhh, it feels like bombarding someone's place with confetti. Meriahhhh. I use glitter from Beauty Bar Baby in the shade Enchanted Forest (I bought it via cakefaceconfession_ from Instagram). And gewwrllll, this pic doesn't do justice to this gorgeous glitter. It look more eye catching-ly sparkly in person.

Remember, use glitter glue to make the glitter stick onto your lids. Otherwise, people might mistook Raya for Halloween with all the glitters all over your face.

Take a cotton bud and put some makeup remover on the tip, and slowly clean up the edge of your eye like so.

Step #7:

After popping on your fav falsies, use any golden eyeshadow to highlight the inner corner. I used here KathleenLight eyeshadow from Where The Light Is eyeshadow quad by Colourpop.

Line your waterline with black no smudging eyeliner and set it Makeup Geek Corrupt eyeshadow. Then take Makeup Geek Cocoa Bear and smoke out the lower lash line.

Tadaaaaa~

Maka pergilah dikau kibas kibas kelip kelip mata dekat jiran sebelah bagaikan mata kena getik dengan pepatung. Atoiiii~

Beraya mana tahun ni?

Ingat macam nak beraya belah suami tahun ni.

Tapi tetiba teringat...

Aku mana kawen lagi. Bahahaha~

Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslim in the world!

Till my next pictorial,

Tutorial #22 : Warm Cranberry Makeup Look ft MAC Star Violet eyeshadow

Hello beautiful!

My blog has been filled with nothing but tutorials as of late. Are you guys sick of it? Cause I'm not. Haha. I just haven't been doing any makeup shopping damage lately so I don't have anything to review.

Well actually, I did do some makeup shopping. But it was all pre-ordered and I had to wait for them to arrive from overseas. And waiting is paining. Haha suka hati kau nak buat pantun 2 kerat.

Did you really believe that I didn't? Kemon. Kemonnnn. Buying makeup is my air.

So anyways, I have been playing a lot with my makeup and this is the most recent makeup look that I did. Pink cranberry with a hint of warm orange, perfect for any occasion.

The ingredients:

All e/s are from Makeup Geek except for the Star Violet e/s that is by Mac.

Step #1:

Mix Creme Brulee e/s with Chickadee and blend it on the crease all the way to the inner corner. Don't forget to prime your eyelids beforehand to prevent creasing.

Step #2:

I forgot to put this e/s in the ingredients above but here I used County Girl e/s by Makeup Geek as well and dust it on the crease to darken it up a but.

Step #3:

Take Bitten e/s and place it on the outer V of the lid, blending it into the crease.

Step #4:

Now, for the star of the look, memang nama star pun, use Star Violet e/s by Mac and pat it on the eyelid.

Step #5:

Line the waterline using black eyeliner, I used here Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Black. Then, highlight the tear duct area and brow bone with Shimma Shimma e/s. Take Star Violet and Bitten and place it on the lower lash line, smoking it out with Creme Brulee e/s.
