“I’ve used this foundation since my 20’s- I am now 42. It sits perfectly all day long (summer and winter), does not accentuate my imperfections, feels light and to be honest makes my skin look great, as though I’m not wearing any foundation at all. Constantly complemented on my skin when I use it.”
“Is very hard to blend down my neck and achieve a natural look as I need to use a lot of this product to hide my bad very red complexion.
The foundation does not stay on my face all day, coming off if lightly touched and somehow slides down from my forehead throughout the day.”
Hi Holly, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with your experience with China Doll Foundation. This foundation is great for those after a full coverage with a beautiful cream-to-powder finish. We recommend either Look 2B or Look 3 for those with more redness to ensure that when blended down the neck, the most undetectable finish is achieved.
We also recommend ensuring that a suitable base is applied beneath the makeup, such as our Auto Pilot Calming Primer, because some moisturisers can leave a hydrating residue that does not allow for the maximum foundation coverage to be achieved. This primer in particular has a green shimmer throughout the formula to counteract the appearance of redness.
Apply China Doll Foundation with a dense bristled brush, like our 24R Buffer Brush - anything that is not dense will achieve a lighter, softer coverage. Apply the foundation in sections, rather than all at once and then blending as this can cause the product to slightly dry in areas before you get a chance to blend it out.
Lastly, lock it in place with a pressed foundation powder to combine the full coverage from China Doll Foundation and the coverage from the pressed powder. You might like to try our Camera Finish Powder Foundation in the shade G3 - Fair Lady, which features an olive undertone that will help to minimise the appearance of redness.
