Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation Review

Hellos! Today I’m going to review Innisfree’s Mineral Melting Foundation which got me really interested after reading Yan’s review HERE. The coverage look good on her and she share the same skin condition as mine so I bought it without second thought.

INNISFREE- Mineral Melting Foundation SPF32/PA++ in W3    Price: USD20

What it claims:

l         Contains Jeju mineral and organic green tea

l         Provide moisture from 100% jeju organic green tea water

l         Gives a natural coverage and transparent complexion

My thoughts after using:

1)      Consistency- it is in cream compact that feels really soft and melts once you touch it

2)      Shades- Available in 5 Shades Pink, Light, Natural, True and Deep Beige (Cool & Warm skintone)

3)      Packaging- acrylic compact with mirror, separator flap and sponge included

4)      Oil Control- good enough as I stayed oil-free for 3-4 hours

5)      Coverage- Medium to full and buildable; Able to conceal all sorts of imperfection well enough

6)      Scent- Strong “old” lady scent; similar to old perfume scent and will stay in your face for hours!

7)      Application- very easy as the provided sponge is quite useful and a simple “tap, tap, tap” is all you need. No brush is needed at all

8)      Lasting Power- It stayed on my face for 5-6 hours wihout wearing off and I did NOT even use a primer beneath nor top it off with a setting spray

9)      Suitability- This is a mineral powder so I guess this is suitable for all skintypes. I did NOT encounter any discomfort upon using and I have acne-prone and sensitive skin

10)   Availability- Even though we don’t have Innisfree here but there are a lot of online sellers selling it so I guess this is easily accessible

What I like about:

l         Provides decent coverage as it managed to conceal all my acnes and pigmentation quite effectively

l         I love how it gives a dewy finish without looking greasy or oily

l         Even without setting powder, the foundation is non-transferable so no worries on having foundation all over your cellphone lolz~

l         Despite it’s high SPF, NO white cast on flash photography at all =)

What I DON’T LIKE about:

l         Though the foundation is NOT sticky or oily but you could still feel “something” on your face

l         I’m not really fond of makeups that has smell and this foundation does have an “old” lady perfume scent and the scent would stuck on your face for hours

Overall Conclusion:

Despite the annoying smell, I really really LOVE this foundation and this becomes one of my favorite and I’ve been using it every single day! Coverage is good already so I normally skip the concealer as I only need the compact itself and off I go. No other tools is required as the sponge pretty much does the job already. No ugly streaks or uneven application as the foundation is very easy to work with.

Recommendation:

I do recommend this to all of you as I think the coverage was good and the dewy finish is just perfect for all skintypes.

That’s it for my review on Innisfree Melting Foundation~
