Review for Nichido Perfect Skin Stick Foundation

          Review for Nichido Perfect Skin Stick  Foundation

Hi girls. Today I will be reviewing one of the newest products of the local brand Nichido;  The Nichido Perfect Skin Stick Foundation.

I am a super foundation junkie. I have lots of foundation on my kit and I use the product based on my mood. It is my first time to try this type of foundation. Most of my foundations are liquid by the way. I first learned about this through Ms. Anne Clutz. Do I love it? Let's find out.

CHARACTERISTICS:

Nichido Perfect Skin Stick Foundation, by the name itself,  is a stick type of foundation. A stick type of foundation has the consistency of a cream foundy. As for the smell, it has a very very mild crayon-like smell that is not bothering at all. It claims to be Oil-Free and Paraben Free.

PRICE:

268.00

INGREDIENTS:

VARIETY:

Nichido Perfect Skin Stick Foundation has three shades available. From lightest to darkest; Buff, Ecru and Sand. I got the shade Buff since I have an acidic skin.

PACKAGING:

Black Plastic Packaging with the Brand and Name of the product.

SIZE:

9 grams

APPLICATION:

In applying the product, I put it directly on my face, like the way I put highlighter. I didn't use any primer. I just moisturized.I first used a paddle brush and I found it really easy to apply. Unlike other stick foundation I tested on beauty counters, this feels demi-matte. Not sticky. The first layer is just natural looking, sheer to light coverage. My dark spots are still visible. In applying the second layer, I finished it using a damp beauty sponge because the paddle brush creates streaks on my face. The finish is light to medium coverage. It is still buildable but for my liking, it was just enough.

My face with the product:

My bumps are more visible because cream/stick foundies tend to accentuate my small bumps. But this is enough for me. As you can see, you really need to blend the sides of the nose to avoid caking.

I baked my face because I have combination to oily skin. And when I bake, I bake my whole face hehe. I used Nichido Final Powder in Ivory Glow.

I don't have the pic of my final look but I can say that the final powder and the stick foundation are good together.

LONGEVITY:

I applied the foundy at 9:15 am. At 12:15 pm, I noticed a bit of shine on my nose and on my eyebrows but I am not oily. I still looked fresh. There was oxidation since I am acidic but it is not as much as how other foundations oxidize on me. 

At 2:15 pm, I blotted and the blotting paper was not filled with oil. I retouched with the final powder again. It just looked a bit cakey so do not pile up powder if you don't need to.

At around 9 PM, almost 12 hours, this is how my face looks like. Bit shiny, and just a bit cakey. 

AVAILABILITY:

Watsons and other Nichido Counters

PROS:

•Price- For a stick foundy, the price is right

• Finish- the demi-matte finish is good

•Shade- the shade made me look fresh

•Ease of application- very blendable

• Smell- it doesn't have an annoying scent

• Lightweight

CONS:

• Coverage- I just got "bitin" with the coverage. I was expecting a medium to full coverage but I got sheer to medium

•Tends to cake up on parts that was not properly blended.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I gave this product a thumbs up. I liked it but I cannot say that this is my holy grail for now. I liked that it is lightweight and made me blooming but I have other liquid foundations that I prefer more. But I liked it especially that it did not make me oily so I really think that it is true to its claim that it is oil-free. 

Repurchase? No. I liked it but I love liquid foundies more.

Recommend? Yes. To those who love everyday make-up that is just lightweight and natural looking.

Have you tried this? Please share your thoughts below. Thanks 😊😊😊
