NUDE BY NATURE – RADIANT LOOSE POWDER FOUNDATION – Review – Got It Free!

RADIANT LOOSE POWDER FOUNDATION

I got this product free for testing purposes from ChickAdvisor & Nude By Nature

#GotItFree #LoveNudeByNature

The brand just recently launched in Canada, and will be available in Shoppers drug mart stores!, I’m not sure of the exact price at this time I’ll have to look into it but on their website it retails for £25.00, so I’m assuming it’ll be around the same price in Canadian currency.

A little about the brand, Nude by Nature is a mineral makeup company, Completely cruelty free & PETA certified. Nude by Nature was created in 2008 in Sydney, Australia and all their products are made in Australia.

DESCRIPTION

The feather-light Radiant Loose Powder Foundation formula adapts naturally to skin tones, evens out complexion, covers redness and pigmentation, and conceals enlarged pores. The powder foundation is composed of active natural ingredients including the native Australian Kakadu Plum, known for its abundant Vitamin C content; Jojoba Esters to nourish the skin and Kaolin Clay for a radiant flawless complexion.

 

So first off the powder is fantastic, it’s super smooth, super light and gives good coverage however I personally don’t like just powder foundations, it doesn’t give enough coverage that I crave so I threw it on top of my regular liquid foundation instead of a translucent powder, and I was pleasantly surprised. There was no caking, the coverage was fantastic, it was super easy to blend and creasing was minimal even after a few hours of wear. It was very smoothing, considering I forgot to add a primer underneath (I know!, shame).

The colour however was slightly to dark for my skintone, but mixed with my regular powders it seemed to lighten it up a bit, and I wasn’t upset at all.. I assume it’ll work better in the warmer months for me given it’s winter right now and I’m extremely pale, also can’t wait to try it in the summer on it’s own when it’s to hot to wear liquid foundation when I still want some coverage!.

I’m also obsessed with the packaging, it’s seriously the cutest with the rose gold cover, the font used is adorable and the packaging itself is very well made, very sturdy. Even the box it comes in is well made and luxurious.

I’m very happy with it, and I’m super excited I got the opportunity to test out new products and from a brand I hadn’t heard of, let alone tried but it gave me the chance to fall in love with another brand.  I’m quiet excited to try other products in their line and I’d definitely recommend their loose powder foundation & perfecting primer!.

There is also a large amount of product in it with 10g – 0.35 oz

Rated 4.5/5 on Chick Advisor with 297 reviews – I rate it a 5/5, zero issues and I love it! Just need a lighter shade for myself in the colder months!.

So this product was the first ever voxbox I got from Influenster, I was super excited receiving my first voxbox since I adore makeup so much.. Well that was short lived. I was so excited that I took it out and swatched it right away, at first it seemed to blend well, it seemed a little waxy but nothing I couldn’t handle.. So I got to work doing a full face to fully test it out, at first it was going great and than I applied it and it felt SO heavy, so waxy, it wouldn’t blend on my face at all. I have tried different foundations, primers etc and this just doesn’t want to work for me and even now swatching it on my hand it feels like a small candle it’s so waxy, and it clung to my pored and really accentuates them.

I quickly realized the ‘Easy 2 in 1’ Isn’t as easy as claimed, I’ve tried blending with brushes, my beauty blender even my fingers and it just seems to sit like mud and move and shift around and cake my foundation, I honestly don’t think I hate a makeup product as much as I hate this. The 2 in 1 seems like a great idea, I originally thought you would do one side than the other, nope.. I tried doing it like a marker and doing highlight and contour at the same time and nope didn’t work either.

It’s way to hard to control, the highlight side doesn’t have light enough shades for lighter skin tones.  The two colours mix on the stick if you aren’t careful, It’s not buildable, and the weird thing is it doesn’t blend, but as you blend more it seems to just disappear like there’s no happy medium.

I really loved the 2 in 1 concept but, I just couldn’t get it to work for me, I was so disappointed I can’t see myself ever buying it again.

I definitely do not recommend this product to anyone- save your money.

I’d rate it a 1, the packaging isn’t awful but the product is in my opinion.
