report by Heather of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel
If you are a woman who wears foundation, I think I can safely say that you want the best, most natural looking coverage with the lightest and most skin-like feel. Who wouldn't? To me, having a smooth, blotch-free complexion is the best start to my daily beauty routine; some days, I wear foundation and a little blush, and that's it. Nice looking skin can definitely stand on its own. When I heard about Skin Alison Raffaele Reality Base ($35) and True Concealer ($22.50), and how they "create the illusion of perfect skin", I knew I had to try them.
I've tried some pretty incredible foundations lately (Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, Linda Cantello Forget Foundation), and Reality Base ranks right up there with the best. Small dabs on cheeks, forehead and nose is plenty for your whole face - be careful not to use too much - then blend for a seamless finish. You can build coverage just by layering in the areas that need more, and it still looks natural. For really tough spots, True Concealer hits the spot. It's creamy and blends well, but resists creasing and settling in fine lines (as long as you are careful not to apply too much). It's also safe to use on breakouts and shouldn't make them flare up; the same goes for Reality Base. Both are great finds on my quest for more flawless looking skin.
