DermacolFull Coverage Matte Foundation with SPF 30, Waterproof Makeup Foundation for Oily Skin, Acne, & Under Eye Bags, Long-Lasting Makeup, 30g - Shade 223Compact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

Better than Dermablend and CHEAPER! Plus they actually had my shade. I went to Ulta a week ago looking for Dermablend to cover my neck tattoo. Nothing was my shade. It took 3 products (totaling over $100 to cover my tattoo and it looked ORANGE on me). So I returned it back. I ordered Dermacol instead because I heard it was a nice alternative. And I’m glad I did! Better coverage and the shade matches me PERFECTLY. It doesn’t cover it completely. I do have. Giant SUPER dark neck tattoo. But it does enough for me to cover it for work meetings without anyone having issue. :)

This foundation came highly recommended via one of my favorite MUA’s and I matched for a combined 224 and 229. The foundation’s texture is like a firm mousse for the skin, and with the correct primer and setting powder, you will definitely look flawless. It doesn’t have a smell and looks beautiful under different lighting effects. There aren’t many shades, but with the correct pigment filler or even combined with a different foundation you like- your look will be flawless and beautiful. It makes a great undereye concealer as well.

First off, let me give you a background of me, my skin, and why I bought this make-up. I am a 41 year old woman, and had acne as a young adult, so I have scars. I have mild crows feet, and dark circles under eyes that I was literally born with. Over all the texture of my skin is smooth, aside from the not too deep scars mainly on my cheeks. Insteps YOUTUBE, in all it's glory with more than 75,000 videos on a product called Dermacol. I had just purchased the Mally Soft Focus Finish, and I am IN love with that product, but since the rage seemed to be Dermacol, I decided to try it for more coverage for the mild wrinkles, and for sure the acne scars. Now, I am not 100% sure this product is the real deal, but the packaging looks like it is. It was indeed very thick, and even though I watched 100 videos on which color is best for someone with my skin tone, the one I ordered was too dark. I decided to give it whirl anyway, thinking if it really worked like YouTube says it does, then I will order another tube in a shade lighter. I won't be doing that. I am not sure WHAT matte looking make-up these girls on YouTube are using, but it's NOT what I ordered. After applying the first layer I noticed right away that it felt like and oil slick, and smelled like an tire shop, rubber? Odd. My mild wrinkles now magnified to 1000 times worse, and the acne scars actually looked larger and deeper! EGAD! I was not OOOHHHINNNG and AHHHHING like the YouTube videos. I tried to apply a second coat, and while it did paint my face, the way that it coated it was horrific! I quickly got a washcloth and my face soap and removed it. ONLY, I couldn't. After 5 clean washcloths, half a bottle of face soap, and even some shampoo, I was stained. It was not coming off. PLEASE beware. I also opened the bottle a little while later to make sure the cap was on and oil was oozing out of the tube. I couldn't even cap it back up because my hand was too slick! While someone somewhere might be getting a great product, they aren't all created equal, and not all faces are either. I'm sticking with the Mally Soft Focus, it has great coverage, smells great, and gives my skin a healthy clean glow.

Easy to apply, not cakey, thin coat does a pretty good job. I have to cover a tattoo for my job, it did well. Color match is slightly dark but if you mix with a light concealer when applying it tones it a little more even for more natural look, then put translucent setting powder.This is a full chest piece it’s a dark one. No I did not use a color corrector before applying

If you’re looking to cover a bruise or even tattoo, this product is amazing! The only thing I would keep in mind is your undertones. The color I chose had more pink undertones when it seems like I am more of a yellow undertone. Still covered perfectly though!

I heard about this foundation online & after watching a few videos about it & hearing about how full coverage it is I had to buy it. Plus the price seemed incredible for a full coverage foundation. I bartend & live in the south where we have very hot summers. So I need a foundation that can stay put on my skin while working a 9-12 hour shift behind the bar while I’m constantly moving around during my shifts. I also have lots of freckles so I wanted a foundation that can hide all the discoloration on my face. I put a primer on my face first waited a few minutes for the primer to settle and applied this foundation with a beauty blender. A little goes a long way. I also set the foundation with a setting powder along with a setting spray. The pictures are all from today, the first few are from the beginning of my day after just a few minutes of applying the foundation. The last picture is after I finished my nine hour bartending shift. The foundation seems to have almost melted off and looks cakey in the last picture after about 9 hours. It’s very light weight for a full coverage foundation. It’s comfortable and doesn’t feel like you have a mask on. It doesn’t dry too quickly when applying it so it gives you some time to blend and finish your entire face. I was happy with the performance of this foundation for a few hours. I also noticed it immediately settled into my fine lines when I first applied it. It doesn’t feel sticky. I also would like to add that it definitely covers up any freckles you might have. I got the color 208 and it matches my skin color & neck very well. I didn’t oxidize. so the color seemed to stay the same throughout the day.

if you want a foundation that is going to totally cover blemishes (or like me a tattoo) this is it high quality water resistant goes on smooth and easy the color i chose fit my skin tone well and you can blend it easily with a brush or just your fingers
