This has been a cult product amongst makeup artists for years. Formerly though, for those of us in the UK, we’ve had to buy it from the States or Canada, as it hasn’t been available to buy in the UK. With that, you have hefty shipping costs, plus the added risk of customs charges. Never ideal when you’re paying a considerable amount for a product.
Now though, the superstars at Cult Beauty have brought it to the UK, for everyone to buy.
But what makes Face Atelier foundation a ‘cult’ brand. Its got allsorts of modern technology jammed into the little bottle. From silicones and soft focus properties that make your skin look like it’s been airbrushed, and just blurs out those edges, crinkles and wrinkles.
However, does it do what it claims? I think so! I’ve been using it for a while now, on a variety of skin tones and types, and it really does do what you expect. It’s perhaps not the best for oily skins, with the silicones, however, with a good mattifying primer, I really can’t see why a pro makeup artist would need to have anything else in their makeup bag.
And the bonus? You can buy 2 extra shades, called zero plus and zero minus, which make an existing foundation either darker or lighter. Perfect for custom blending, and I don’t know many makeup artists who don’t custom blend on a daily basis!
Definitely check it out, and while you’re there, have a look at the rest of the Cult Beauty website, it’s worth some time window shopping…!
