Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Balm - Light FB02 For Women 0.7 oz Foundation

Product Information

So! I really do like this new complexion product, even though it wasn’t at all what I imagined it would be. With a name like ‘Balm’, I was expecting something super sheeny and dewy, however this is definitely more of a velvet matte finish. Anyone else surprised? Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Balm – 4 & 5.5

Makeup looks may be heavily influenced by trends, but so are the new products that brands launch. Take the "blosses" trend for example. The new lip product combines a lip gloss with a balm for a hydrating and comfortable yet shiny lip. It's creation came to be after lip glosses and barely-there balms started trending again. Another example: foundation "balms." I have two shades to show you – Light FB 04 and Medium FB 5.5: Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Balm – 4 & 5.5 SwatchesSo, what is a balm foundation, you ask? They typically come in a pot or a jar and are a cross between two popular products. It marries the silky consistency of a cream foundation with the lightweight coverage of a tinted moisturizer. "They can range from super minimal 'skin like' coverage, like the Jones Road Beauty Balm. to very full-coverage like the KVD Good Apple Foundation Balm," celebrity makeup artist Shadi Malek tells POPSUGAR. "Normally, foundation balms are made from oils or silicone." It’s a super emollient texture when you put your finger on to it. And then it softly dries to a soft velvety finish.

So, what is a balm foundation, you ask? They typically come in a pot or a jar and are a cross between two popular products. It marries the silky consistency of a cream foundation with the lightweight coverage of a tinted moisturiser. "They can range from super minimal 'skin like' coverage, like the Jones Road Beauty Balm. to very full-coverage like the KVD Good Apple Foundation Balm," celebrity makeup artist Shadi Malek tells POPSUGAR. "Normally, foundation balms are made from oils or silicone." Blur imperfections and achieve a visibly smoother complexion with the Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Balm, a multi-tasking, tinted balm that helps to create a flawless canvas for further makeup application. There are two recommended techniques for applying this type of product. "The best way to apply a foundation balm is by using your fingers or a flat brush," says Malek. "Apply a swipe of product onto each section of your face, and then take a flat-topped makeup brush and blend outwards. If you feel you have hyperpigmentation or blemishes, you can go over certain areas with a bit more product and it will blend seamlessly."

When I applied it for the second time, I went straight in with 5.5 and was happy with that match which seems to work well with my darker hair, and deeper fake tan.

It isn’t particularly longwearing I don’t think. I wanted to do a little top up after about 4 hours and I think this is where I started to see a couple of issues. When I touched up, I felt like my skin seemed a bit drier, and then a couple of hours after that, the foundation had grabbed a bit to the dryness around my nose. It was nothing major, but I could see it when I looked up close and I am thinking if you have patches of dry skin, it might not be so good for you.
