![]() Confidence in a Foundation is meant to be full coverage with a velvet matte finish. This particular foundation comes in 48 hues, with plenty of options for darker skin tones. ![]() These 10 shades are considered their most popular hues that testers gravitated towards during the R&D stage. Those of us who came out went home with a goodie bag full of skincare products and more importantly, a 10-bottle sampling of their newest color cosmetics launch, Confidence in a Foundation, as well as an additional bottle that we received at their shade match station during the event. If you followed my IG stories or checked out my IG Beauty Events Highlight, you know that last week I attended IT Cosmetics’ Spring product launch. IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Foundation in Rich Warm (gifted) Nothing, I really like this product and didn’t find any issues with it. In contrast, since Sephora’s version is more uniform, I can use the entire pan-making this a very cost effective product. So, technically speaking, half of the pan is wasted on me. As much as I love Kevyn Aucoin’s Ibiza, as you see in the pic above, I clearly don’t use the paler half of the pan, mainly because that paler portion can end up making me look frosty. More importantly, you have great color pigmentation with this and don’t need to use a lot of product to get strong color payoff.Īnd something in particular that I actually prefer with Sephora’s Golden Hour is that the shimmer is uniform rather than an obvious gradient. This particular highlight is finely milled which means you get minimal fallout. If you say that you can tell a difference on my arm (not in the pan because clearly they look different in the pan), you’re full of it! I’ve always been a fan of Sephora’s powders, and this is no different. The top swipe is from the upper half of Kevyn Aucoin’s Ibiza pan on the left, and the bottom swipe is from Sephora’s pan on the right. In the pic above, you can see that I have two swatches on my wrist. I was right, this is most definitely a dupe for Kevyn Aucoin. I can honestly say it was an impulse buy because I saw the purple pan on the gondola and instantly thought it could be a dupe for my personal favorite highlighter, Kevyn Aucoin’s Neo-Limelight in Ibiza. This is yet another item I picked up while I was in SF. Sephora Collection Golden Hour Highlight in Twilight (purchased) While I like this product and definitely use it fairly regularly, I can’t say that I get better results using this either as a refresh or pre-makeup step as opposed to some of my other facial mists or even oils that I typically use. Most people who review this product rave about how it instantly improves the condition of their skin. This isn’t so much a complaint as an honest observation. Of course, the small size makes this ideal for traveling. While this mist has a more natural/essential oil style scent, it’s not offensive. It’s more like saying it doesn’t take forever for the mist to absorb into the skin. That’s not to say that you don’t get the moisturizing benefits. This is a truly hydrating spray which evaporates fairly quickly. This can be used under makeup or as a refresh throughout the day. ![]() To use, simply shake the bottle, hold it two to three inches from your face and mist. The premise is that this can help to instantly infuse the skin with moisture thanks to the mist’s natural botanical ingredients. I picked up this travel friendly version at Sephora while I was in San Francisco because I felt like my skin was getting dry while I was out one day. So let’s get to it! Tatcha Dewy Skin Mist (purchased) As usual, I’ll outline whether an item was purchased or gifted. I’ll be reviewing Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist, IT Cosmetics’ newest release Confidence in a Foundation, and Sephora Collection’s Golden Hour highlight. I’m always on the hunt for great dupes, must have moisturizers and effective foundations, and that’s exactly what I’m covering in today’s post. It’s been a bit since I’ve written a Test Drives article! So, let’s kick off March with a few great finds that I made in the last few weeks. ![]()
