Guergi Cover Foundation [review]

Hey guys! I'm currently in holiday, back to my hometown :D What do you do spend this holiday?

Old readers must have known that I barely wear foundation, even for special occasions. I hate thick and heavy layer that covers my face like a mask; thus I prefer BB Cream or CC cream over foundation. Since I heard many good reviews about this product, I became tempted to try this foundation. Well, this was my latest foundation after quite a while :p

GUERGI COVER FOUNDATION

Yay it's cruelty free! :D Another uniqueness of this product is, it provides product description in 5 different languages: French, Espanyol, Czech, English and Arabic.

Packaging

The product itself is made in aluminium material and coated with simple yet glamorous shimmery bronze color. The packaging of this foundation is kinda reminds me with paint tubes, because it comes with twist-cap and you have to make a hole (with its cap) to open the aluminium seal ^.^

Guergi Cover Foundation have two shades: G.04 Ivory and G.05 Beige

How to use

Apply makeup onto washed, clean skin. Treat skin with a normal daytime hydrating cream before applying. Smooth on makeup with fingers, a sponge or makeup brush moving from the center of the face towards the edges. Finally fix makeup with transparent powder.

Langkah-langah untuk menggunakan Guergi Cover Foundation:

1. Gunakan moisturaizer untuk melembabkan kulit agar Guergi dapat merata dengan sempurna

2. Gunakan sedikit Guergi dan ratakan ke seluruh wajah dengan menggunakan tangan, kuas ataupun sponge makeup

3. Sempurnakan tampilan dengan menggunakan bedak tabur di wajah.

SWATCH

To cover up your face, you only need a pea-size of Guergi Cover Foundation. Apply it thoroughly with sponge or brush. Remember, you only need a pea-size! Don't take too much foundation or your face will look ridiculously pale. Before apply this foundation, prep your skin with daytime moisturizer.

Texture & Smell

It has thick texture, and quite tricky to blend. Before apply this foundation, we must ensure that our skin is moist enough and not flaky, otherwise the result may looks streaky and patchy :s

This foundation doesn't has any particular scent, though.

Swatch on my face, before and after

Finish result: glowy matte finish

I swear I only squeezed little bit and distributed the foundation on to my face with my Sigma F80 Flat Top Brush. As you can see, this Guergi Cover Foundation really brightened my skin in seconds, and able to conceal all blemishes and dark circles o_o

Overall Thoughts

For longevity, it could stay matte for more than 5 hours on my skin, which is good! :)

If you look for a full-coverage foundation, this foundation is probably something that you might look for! I think the downsides of this product is its thick texture, and limitation of the shades.

Foundation dari Guergi ini lumayan oke daya tahannya di aku, bisa keliatan matte di kulit lebih dari 5 jam :) Kalau kalian cari foundation full-coverage yang mampu menyamarkan noda di wajah, mungkin kalian bisa coba foundation yang satu ini. Mungkin hal-hal yang aku kurang suka dari produk ini adalah teksturnya yang sangat padat (harus disiasati dengan pemakaian moisturizer yang cukup sebelum mengaplikasikan foundation) dan warna foundationnya yang terbatas.
