Catrice Nude drop Tinted serum foundation - review and wear test

#meritofbeauty #nordicfamily Testing, review and wear test of Catrice Nude drop serum foundation. I wore this Catrice Nude drop Tinted serum foundation for full day 10 hours. It lasted beautifully! I certainly didn't expect this. I can see that it can be dry on very dry skin, which can be handled with good prepping. But it lasted very well also on my oilier areas (next to nose and forehead).

    Maybe you could add bronzing drops to the tinted moisturiser to give it a deeper colour. It seems a shame to otherwise not use it as it looks good.

      Yeah, I have few bronzing drops that I can try. And at least with bronzer it turned out well enough to allow me to use it up. I’m not getting any tan in months anyway - still snowing here ❄️😄

    Is the concealer full full coverage?

    • @MeritOfBeauty

      I would say more medium coverage and you can blend it to light. You can build it to full but I think it’ll look quite heavy and crease easily.

    Love these shadows! I wish Clarins would come out with more colors of these I much prefer their pressed glitter metallic shades to stila liquid eyeshadow as I just find it applies much easier... Clarins has been out of the spotlight in terms of makeup for about 20 years now, along with other brands like Clinique. I hope they can modernize their products and make a comeback!

    • @MeritOfBeauty
      @MeritOfBeauty 2 роки тому

      The ones I love are Trinny London BFF cream, Bobbi Brown Serum foundation, IsaDora skin tint, Lumene Beauty serum. Then Purito BB cream is quite thick in formula but can be sheered out. And if you want light formula but a bit more pigment, then Clarins Skin illusion and Suqqu Nude wear EX. All of these protect dry skin very well without itching and clinging to dry batches.
