I have no complaints about the quality of the product, but the shades are somehow incorrect. Usually, the lower the number, the lighter the shade. I bought shade 03, and before that, I had shade 10. Shade 03 turned out to be significantly darker. However, in the photo, shade 03 is shown as lighter than shade 10.
I rate this foundation at 4.5 stars. It has a lightweight texture and adjusts to the skin tone without clogging pores, giving a subtle shimmer. I deduct half a star only because it doesn't fully conceal skin imperfections (breakouts, acne spots) - it requires applying 2-3 layers on problematic areas. I chose shade #10 - I don't tan, but I have brown hair. For blondes, it is recommended to choose shade #05.
This foundation is of average quality and budget-friendly. It is clear that in terms of quality, it cannot compete with brands like Clarins and other high-end foundations. However, when compared to other budget-friendly alternatives, it holds up quite well. The coverage is medium, but you will need to apply concealer separately for under the eyes and additional imperfections, as it does not provide full coverage.
Great foundation. I have shade 010 and it's a perfect match for me. I have a yellow undertone and I'm neither pale nor tan.
When comparing the shade to other foundations, I used to use Healthy Mix Bourjois #54, which is similar to this 010 shade. However, the finish of this foundation is matte. There is no highlighting or anything similar. It's purely matte, slightly blurring the skin but emphasizing dry patches, so it's more suitable for normal or oily skin rather than dry skin.
Alternatively, you need to moisturize your skin very well before applying it. Overall, I'm satisfied, but I'll deduct one star for the dryness and matte finish since I was expecting some highlighting, as advertised.
The texture is light, and the scent is slightly overpowering. Unfortunately, shade 10 did not suit me, contrary to what the comments had suggested. It did not adapt to my skin and remained yellow, which is extremely disappointing.
The shade does not match what is shown in the picture. I bought shade 050, which is supposed to be dark with a yellowish undertone, but I don't know who this shade could possibly suit. It only works when mixed with a lighter shade.
1. I didn't like the smell, it reminds me of an old-fashioned cream.
2. The shades are too dark, I will have to mix them with a lighter base.
I bought this product based on the reviews, but unfortunately shade 002 turned out to be slightly yellowish for my fair skin tone. The scent is quite sharp. It is difficult to apply and dries quickly, but it does not provide an even finish.
I really liked the texture of this product - it is light, doesn't clog pores, liquid, easy to apply with fingers, dries quickly, not sticky, and doesn't dry out my skin (even though my skin is drier than normal). It doesn't completely cover what you want to hide (that's what concealer is for), but it evens out the complexion. I deduct one star for the scent - it smells like cheap perfume from grandma. I also deduct another star for the range of shades: they are mostly on the darker side (more suitable for Italian skin tones). I'm showcasing shade 020 in the photo. Even in the summer, it would be too dark for me (I'm against tanning).
Does not oxidize on the skin, looks natural. I liked it.
I only use Pupa. There are not many shade options, but this is explained by the fact that the cream adapts to the skin. It is easy to find the right shade. The effect is natural - it does not roll, slide, or smear. It stays on the face for as long as needed without being visible. It moisturizes without shining. It is perfect.
The foundation is simply amazing! It is completely weightless on the face (I bought shade 010), which is an incredible plus for me. The color does have a slight yellowish tint upon application, but after about 20 minutes, it adapts perfectly to the skin tone. It does not cover blemishes, so it is suitable for good, healthy skin. This may be why it didn't work for many people. The texture is oily, so you would expect the face to shine, but instead, there is just a subtle glow on the cheeks. It looks very natural! In my opinion, girls with very fair skin should avoid this particular shade, but it should be suitable for those with light brown hair and dark eyebrows.
Comparing it to Dior, Clinique, Bourjois, Vichy foundations, as well as Givenchy, Clinique, Guerlain, and Max Factor powders, this is the best one. Over the course of 10 years of using foundations and powders, this one is simply unreal. It feels like a second skin, there's no other way to describe it. Throughout the day, my skin doesn't get oily and the coverage stays flawless. Shade 11 is perfect for winter. My skin has a slightly yellow undertone. I will definitely get a slightly darker shade for the summer.
Girls, I don't know why you all didn't like the cream! I got the 010 shade, which has a slight pink undertone (I have a pinkish skin tone) and it suited me very well. I applied it in the morning on my cleansed and moisturized face and voila - everything stayed in place all day without clogging my pores or accentuating my fine lines! I have oily skin with enlarged pores, and I'm 24 years old. It felt like a second skin! Maybe it's just me, so I must be really lucky. I recommend trying it out somewhere first and then buying it after seeing the color of the foundation in daylight. That's what I usually do before making a purchase decision. The color is indeed specific, but don't forget that Italians have different skin types than us! Give it a try.
I really liked it. It is lightweight and applies easily. The natural shade is beautiful. I got the shade 020 and it perfectly matches.
The foundation didn't work for me... It was very runny and unexpectedly yellow-orange (I got shade 011, it looked good on my hand...). As a result, it applied unevenly, you have to be very careful when applying it - otherwise, you get patches, streaks, and other "delights". I like it when my skin looks porcelain-like, but this foundation doesn't give me that effect... Unfortunately, it's not for me. I'm disappointed...
I bought this foundation based on reviews, but I have to say it's not for me. If there is even the slightest bit of peeling, the foundation will only highlight it more. It doesn't hide imperfections well and is very liquidy. However, if you have perfect skin, it will look great and velvety. The scent is there, but it quickly disappears after application. On the other hand, I want to thank the store employees for helping me find the perfect shade and delivering everything quickly.
