So I’ve been gone forever. I know I know. I just moved and finally got everything finished so I thought I’d write a bolg post and start trying to post regruarily again. I wanted to share my feelings on the YSL Fusion Ink Foundation. I know this isn’t a new product anymore but I haven’t heard a lot about it.
‘Ink’ foundations seem to be all the rage right now. The idea is that they provide meduim to full coverage and feel like skin so they aren’t heavy at all. I think this one was the first one I heard about and tried and it was life changing. I mean it, my life has changed. This foundation is so smooth and light weight. Normally I would shy away from this kind of foundation but I was curious. I like to apply it with my SIgma Beauty 3DHD Kabuki Brush because I find that it is useful to apply it with one side of the brush and blend with the other. It covers surprisingly well. I can even use it as a concealer on top of the foundation. It smells lovely too. I think it works well for oily skin, I’m not sure it would work for people with SUPER dry skin as it might cling to dry patches but I have the opposite problem so I can’t speak to that.
Another thing I love is that t is really cool toned which I love. It doesn’t pull red or yellow or orange. I have redness in my skin and it is hard to find a foundation that really neutralizes those areas but this one does (I’m shade Cool Almond). If you have the same issues, I would highly suggest getting matched, then getting a sample. I would say that you definitely need a brush to apply this foundation, preferrably a kabuki or rounded one. Like I said before, my favorite is the 3DHD Kabuki but that’s my opinion.
I would absoutely say that this foundation is a hit. It has a steep price tag but I’ve had it since October and it isn’t close to being gone yet so it definitely lasts a long time.
