here.<\/a><\/p>\nOne of the things I love about this foundation is that it does not oxidize! I struggled with finding a non-oxidising foundation on my skin, and I\u2019m so glad this doesn\u2019t. However, it does contain titanium dioxide which WILL cause flashback so this won\u2019t be the best for events with flash photography. When paired with a good primer, setting powder, and setting spray, this foundation lasts me through an 8 hour work day without fading. Oil does come through around the 4-hour mark, which is normal for my skin. I just blot it off and it looks as good as new. While it is long-wearing, it\u2019s not transfer-proof.<\/p>\n
Taking a look at the ingredients list, the ‘bad’ ingredient that jumps out the most is the high amount of alcohol. As someone with oily and relatively resilient skin, I dealt with it fine. If you’re sensitive to alcohol or prone to dryness, steer clear.<\/p>\n
Dimethicone, Water, Trifluoropropyldimethyl\/Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone\/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Peg-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Alcohol Denat., Magnesium Myristate, Nylon-12, Diphenyl Dimethicone\/Vinyl Diphenyl Dimethicone\/Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Polyquaternium-51,Thymus Serpillum Extract, Aluminum Hydroxide, Aluminum Distearate, Polysilicone-2,Glycerin, Bht, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Tocopherol, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Hypericum Erectum Flower\/Leaf\/Stem Extract, Talc, Dimethicone\/Peg-10\/15 Crosspolymer, Silica, Alumina, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Diisostearyl Malate, Glyceryl Diisostearate, Dipropylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Mica, Red 27.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nI also think this foundation is relatively wallet-friendly in NZ, considering it\u2019s quite a high-end brand – just $69. For comparison, NARS Sheer Glow is $74, Too Faced Born This Way is $62, and Estee Lauder Doublewear is also $69. I\u2019m on the very last dregs of my bottle, and I bought this at the start of June and have basically used it every day since. I\u2019m pretty happy with that tbh!<\/p>\n
Overall, Syncro Skin gets a 4.5\/5 out of me. I knocked that .5 off for not having the greatest colour range. I just don\u2019t think there is a reason in 2017 not to have a wide range of shades when MAC, Fenty Beauty, MUFE, and Estee Lauder (among other brands) can all easily do so.<\/p>\n
