Review - EX1 Foundation





I have been dying for this foundation since forever and I finally got it for my birthday!! I've seen this foundation all over YouTube and heard such good things about it, so obviously since I love makeup so much I had to try it out for myself.
 I bought mine off lookfanastic.com for €15.95. Delivery was free and it took two weeks to arrive.



A little bit of information about this foundation

Ex1 Cosmetics Invisiwear Liquid Foundation helps to achieve a flawless complexion, concealing imperfections leaving them almost invisible.
ue colour pigment even out skin tone. Very lightweight foundation and easily blendable.  
Oil and fragrance free, Non-comedogenic and Clinically and dermatologically tested

This foundation only has 5 colours to choose from and they all have a yellow/olive undertone to it so it wont work for you girlies that have a pink undertone. The colours range from F100 - F500. Its quiet hard to find the colour for you because its online, you can't match it to your face like you can in person, but when you go to purchase this foundation on the lookfanastic.com wedsite, they have a picture which compares the Ex1 foundations to MAC's NC foundations, so if you know what colour you are in the MAC foundation then you cohoose the Ex1 foundation that matches to your MAC colour. (picture is below)



I bought the colour F200 because I am NC 30-35 in Mac foundation and F200 was the shade for me. I was a bit weary of it incase if would be different in person but it the same colour of my MAC NC35. Thank god! 
You can see the colour below and how nice it is blended out.




 I've been trying this foundation out for a couple of weeks and I had really high expections for it after reading nothing but good reviews. But its not what I thought it was going to be, the only problem I have with it is it did not cover up my breakouts that well, I could still see some of the redness coming through and I prefer to have a full coverage foundation as I do not like putting too many layers on my skin, or Ill feel cakey but other than that though I think this foundation is pretty good!! It wears so well and lasts me the whole day without looking really oily. It blends out very nice an even and once its set with powder  its there for the day.

Overall I do like this foundation I just prefer my Mac prolong wear foundation, the coverage is something I can see pass because there is nothing a good conceal cant fix.. So if your thinking about purchasing it and like a medium coverage then you will love it for sure.

Hope this is helpful to some of you,
Thanks for reading
