Stargazer Liquid Foundation, White

Being extreemly pale I always struggle to find a foundation that matches my skin tone. I have bought a lot of foundations which despite being the palest shade in the range are always too dark for my skintone. Fed up of dark foundations, but not wanting to waste the money I'd spent buying them all I thought I would try this white foundation, combining my existing foundations with this to match my skin colour.I'm so happy I bought this as it works perfectly. I mix approx. half the Stargazer Liquid foundation with a highstreet or high end foundation (usually high/medium coverage) using a beauty blender to buff it in. Due to the low price point I wasn't expecting much from the coverage or longevity but it actually works really well on my skin, I haven't had any breakouts or dryness and it lasts as long as my normal foundation does. On it's own it's a little tacky on the skin and doesn't blend brilliantly but as a mixer it's perfect.I would definitely recommend this to anyone with fair skin who struggles to get a match, not only can you tailor your foundation colour to your skin but it makes expensive foundations last so much longer.

Damnit, I really wanted to like this, considering its cheap and readily avaliable, but just no. It's so thin and patchy, with a really horrible consistency which clings to any dry skin on the face. I have no idea how other people managed to make it look passable. I tried building it up in very thin layers over my usual base of sunscreen and moisturiser, but no luck. So I removed all products from my face and tried again, but it was still patchy. The only way I found to make it anything like actual white was to put a huge amount on and then powder, but it was so thick and cakey I could literally scrape it off. I had to use 10 times as much as I usually use of my normal foundation to get anywhere with this. It has pretty much no pigment when it's blended out, and blends out to basically nothing. I tried my fingers, a brush, and a wet sponge to put it on and they all just made it patchy or scraped it off.I'm giving it two stars because in a very tiny amount it's okay to mix with my usual foundation to lighten it, even then it starts to mess up the consistency and cling to my skin in a weird way. I don't even have dry skin but this foundation makes it look dry. Just.. avoid! Get a coffee instead.

This saved my "too pale for drugstore foundations" problem. I don't use it by itself, because it is very sheer, it is very hard to apply evenly and it starts getting cakey after the second layer if you try to layer it. It is however the first white foundation I have ever tried, so I can't compare it to anything similar, only to normal foundations.If you are thinking of buying this to light up your foundations, be careful, because it is a water-based one and it only works with water-based, not silicone-based foundations. For instance, it made a miracle with my Skin79 hot pink bb cream, yet it makes a disaster with my Bojours 1,2,3 foundation which is pretty good on itself (only, again, too dark for me). So keep that in mind.But overall it is a great way to lighten up your too dark foundations, providing they are water-based. Although it is quite sheer by itself, it doesn't sheer foundations out too much and it doesn't change the tone, only the lightness.I also didn't notice any skin changes since I've been using it, no pore clogging, so a plus on that side.

I bought this for fancy dress, and for the price it is, I was expecting a little more. it is quite a big bottle, and has a spatula thing to use, not a pump or anything like that.the product was thick, and very white (haha) and you had to slowly apply in layers rather than all in one go. Maybe it was just me, but it got quite streaky, and very easy to rub off, so I would definitely recommend a powder to seal it. When it mixed by accident with my eyeliner, or mascara, it went a bluish colour...

Like a lot of people I find it hard to find foundations that are not too dark,and having bought some rather expensive foundations to cheer myself up (bought on-line due to illness)I was very disappointed to find they where too dark.As they had been opened I knew I couldn't return them so thought that was money down the drain.I looked online for a solution where after a million suggestions of mixing it with moisturiser I was guided to this product.It arrived fast,but I was still dubious with it being labeled more of a toy that make up.I was very impressed with the bottle and instead of one of those awful pumps that squirt either too much or none at all there is a spatula connected to the lid-make up producers take note!It looked as if it where made for the purpose I needed it for.It mixed amazingly well with the foundation and did not affect the stability of the foundation,leaving it the exact shade that I needed-wonderful.Mixing it on the back of my hand was no hardship,but I did use another spatula type applicator I had.So now I have make up that I can adjust as I please,if I ever get a tan I don't have to worry about new make up.Considering the cost of make up,this is a cheap way of saving yourself from the dreaded 'Tango' look.Every make up box should have one!
