Dermacol - Full Coverage Matte Foundation with SPF 30, Waterproof Foundation for Oily Skin, Acne, & Under Eye Bags, Long-Lasting Makeup, 30g, Shade 221

First let me say...I love this cover up! Nothing covers my redness in just one swipe like Dermacol. The only problem I have...is the tube is metal...and when I push the product up as I us it...it bends and breaks and it gets all of my hands. Not to mention it gets waisted. Please consider a different packaging. Thank you...from a LONG TIME user!!!

I LOVE this foundation. Please note, if you don't mix it with a lighter coverage water based foundation, it will look cakey and cling ever so much to your dry patches if you have any. I start out by moisturizing my skin. Letting that seep in my skin for a few minutes. Then I use Becca's ever matte primer. I let that dry, and find myself using a few more layers of it on my T zone. When I say I have oily skin, I mean it. I have very oily, very sensitive skin, and I'm prone to breakouts, black heads, etc. This magic in a tube covers it all. I use a damp beauty blender, and use less than a pea sized amount and mix this with a BB foundation from Missha (it's water based and filled with nothing but the good stuff). After mixing the two, it's like heaven on my skin. Not cakey, doesn't cling to my dry spots. However, this stuff does crease QUICKLY. You will need to set it with a powder after applying. And it does somewhat oxidize and get darker. I'm on the hunt for a white mixer foundation that is water based. I'm on the pale side and this stuff is kinda tan/peachy on me. I have several different types of imperfections on my face. Dark circles under my eyes, a few chicken pox scars, acne scars, acne, hyper pigmentation. But after using this, my skin is flawless and it lasts a good 8 hours until I start to get oily, and it doesn't "disappear" off of my skin. Please, please remember that such a small amount goes a long way. I mean it. Otherwise you will end up with cake face. You will definitely need a primer. If you have dry or normal skin, opt for a primer that is on the sticky, or gel side. It'll make the foundation glide onto your skin and allow you to blend it much easier. A part of me is hoping that the majority hates this foundation to keep the cost down. D: Is that bad of me?

Best tattoo coverup that I've found so far! I use this 15 days of the month to cover a tattoo on my foot. I use setting powder after it's dried a bit. I then wear pantyhose over it, and it works great. The pantyhose is the only way it works. I've tried it on other tattoos, and sadly it rubs off very easily.

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.

This worked great to cover my tattoo above my eyebrow. I used a translucent powder to set. A little goes a long way with this product.

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.

I love this stuff and will basically never use another foundation again!! lol. I could see why some could find it cakey, but I think if you apply it correctly there’s no issue. I apply on clean, moisturized skin using a *slightly* very slightly! dampened blending sponge and for a more casual look I don’t even apply powder to set it, I’ll just do foundation and cream blush for a very dewy look that doesn’t feel as heavy. I mist with a dewy or moisturizing setting spray and it think it helps to make the foundation not cakey. but if I need my makeup to really stay all day or if it’s a more done up look, I will use the lightest lightest dusting of powder on a brush and lightly tap it into the areas I want to set, the areas you’d normally “bake”. At the end of application I mist entire face with a moisturizing or dewy setting spray and I think that’s really helps the foundation + powder sort of “melt” into your skin. Idk I find it makes the entire application look a lot more natural after a quick mist at the end.

Keep staying all day. I like the color, it is very hard to squeeze out from the tube. No trouble on my face.
