Throughout different eras, beauty standards have evolved. The voluptuous belles of Kustodiev's paintings captivated with their lush and healthy bodies. Toned and athletic fitness enthusiasts attracted with their sculpted muscles and charming faces. Slender, fair-haired beauties seduced men with their mysterious and languid appearances. The only rule that remains constant through time is having skin that radiates health.
The makeup primer from the Italian brand Karaja will help you achieve perfection and serve as an excellent base for creating your makeup look. This product gives your face a soft matte glow without any oily sheen, creating an even, matte finish. The Photo Finish primer offers a fairly dense yet weightless coverage, without the feeling of a mask or heaviness. This cosmetic product excellently conceals minor imperfections such as fine lines and highlights the beauty and freshness of your face. Suitable for all skin types, it is especially recommended for combination and oily skin.
I initially ordered shade 20, which turned out to be too light for me, but I really liked the foundation itself. It worked well for my oily skin with enlarged pores. It mattifies without clogging pores and stays on well. That's why I ordered an even darker shade 50 to mix with.
I recently received this foundation, and so far I have only noticed one downside - the smell. However, this is only if you are being picky, as it is not a perfume and serves a different purpose. It does its job excellently with its primary duties. On the face, it is barely noticeable with a level, natural-matte and extremely lightweight tone. I probably haven't had a lighter and truly toning foundation, even though I have a rich arsenal. To be objective, I have to mention that I have problem-free skin, combination in the T-zone, with barely visible pores near the nose.
In summary, it is a wonderful product, but only if you choose the right shade. I would recommend it to my friends.
The foundation is really good. Shade 10 is not the lightest, it has a slight yellow undertone, but it looks natural on medium fair skin. It evens out the complexion nicely without a mask-like effect, and it mattifies without drying out the skin. I consider this result to be excellent! It doesn't feel heavy on the face, which is also important.
The longevity is above average for oily skin, I would say. But this can vary individually.
I purchased shade #40. I thought it would be a sun-kissed color (considering the previous review and the photo of shade #10). But no, it is quite light with a neutral undertone. It will suit most people, except for those with very fair skin. I couldn't capture it in the photo - the camera didn't show the true color. It fully matches the manufacturer's description - it is lightweight, not visible on the face, and slightly blurs the texture of the skin (I have very prominent texture - pores and acne scars). I deduct one star for the overly intense floral-fruity scent. Other than that, it is a wonderful foundation.
The lightest shade #10 turned out to be dark.
